The eOne-Sixty is the headline grabber of the Merida eBike range, for 3 generations it has been winning tests, gathering accolades and generally hogging the limelight!
However........ the eOne-Forty and eOne-Sixty share exactly the same frame and design features but have different ride characteristics.
The shock stroke on the eOne-Forty is shorter, reducing rear travel to 133mm and creating a steeper seat angle. The shorter 140mm fork extends the reach and delivers a slightly steeper head angle. In combination these small changes make the eOne-Forty more agile and playful, a highly competent climber and perfect for all day riding.
The mixed wheel size set up is carried over, to give the e-full suspension bikes precise steering, fantastic ‘rolling over obstacles’ behaviour yet maximum traction, a 29er front wheel with a 2.5" tyre is combined with a 650B rear wheel, equipped with a slightly wider 2.6" tyre. The perfect combination of precision, playfulness and traction.
The carbon frame incorporates an internal block which prevents the bars turning and damaging the frame in the event of a tumble. The signature "Thermo Gate" vents at the top of the down tube allow heat to dissipate and maintain the temperature of the battery.
All eOne-Forty models use the powerful new Shimano EP8 85NM motor and bigger 630NM battery (with the exception of S frame sizes).
Shimano's e-Tube app allows you to tailor power delivery to suit your riding style, and even set two profiles, one for shredding and one for cruising.
