2020 Merida eONE-SIXTY 10K: All you need to know

The top of the line Merida eONE-SIXTY 10K sets the bar incredibly high for long-travel electric mountain bikes. Building on the existing legacy of the flagship range of eONE-SIXTY e-MTB’s, the 2020 10K model offers a natural mountain bike feel with a carbon front end and exceptional power from the integrated Shimano STePS motor and Shimano’s first in-tube battery. The carbon/alloy frame and integrated e-bike components which are optimised and designed specifically for this bike give the ideal balance of snappy handling and control.

The new Shimano 12-speed XTR groupset with a 10-51t range matches the top of the line quality shown across the eONE-SIXTY components, offering smooth and crisp shifting you wouldn’t expect from an e-MTB. Smooth-shifting is paired with powerful braking power from the Shimano XTR 4-Piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes w/203mm rotors.
“A Refined top-end e-MTB that marries an excellent drive unit and carbon frame...” - Off-Road CC
This bike is much quieter than earlier models and offers increased descending confidence thanks to a slacker head angle, 29” front wheel and a lower bottom bracket which really puts you in the bike. You’ll still get the same playfulness and brilliance, willing to get air and go where most e-MTB’s wouldn’t dare. In the end, we think that the team at E-Mountain Bike summed up the Merida eONE-SIXTY 10K below.

“The MERIDA is the perfect all-rounder – from use as an SUV to thrashing it down the roughest trails, thanks to its balanced handling and the very central riding position, it can do it all. ” - E-MOUNTAINBIKE
