Merida eOne Sixty 8000 Electric Mountain Bike Glossy Grey/Matt Black (2021)

The Merida eOne Sixty 8000 is a dual suspension electric bicycle with a high-end carbon-alloy frame for riders who won’t settle. The performance-focused carbon-alloy frame of the eOne Sixty has an alloy rear end to increase strength and a carbon front end to reduce weight.

For a sleek appearance and well-balanced feel, the in-tube Shimano E8036 630Wh Battery (E8035 – 504Wh Battery for XS Size) was built into the frame. With the brand-new Shimano EP8 Motor, which replaces the previous E8000 motor, the 630Wh delivers a 25% capacity increase over the earlier 504Wh model.

With the help of this motor’s software, you may customise each assistance mode on your phone to meet your unique requirements and preferences.

In addition, it has an increased torque of 85 Nm and is 300 grammes lighter for a quick ride. It includes extra rubber bumpers on the frame to prevent any frame damage from the fork crown as well as a “internal block” that is integrated into the frame to prevent the fork crown from striking the frame when you crash.

You already know that this bike’s e-bike components are amazing, but so is everything else about it. To assist this bike have some punch and control over the trails, the Marzocchi Z1 Ebike+ Fork offers 160mm of travel. Shimano SLX 4 Piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes, which are truly a standout on this bike, provide you with all the stopping power you need to handle this beast and ride with confidence. The Shimano XT shifters and rear derailleur provide smooth shifting.

To ensure that this heavier full suspension e-bike gives accuracy, fun, and traction on the trails, add the pair of hand-selected Maxxis Assegai 29×2.5″ Front Tyre/27.5×2.5″ Maxxis Agressor Rear Tyres. A Merida Comp TR Dropper Post completes the setup, allowing you to get up and truly let it fly.

The Merida eOne Sixty 700 and 8000 both have very similar specifications and designs, but the 8000’s carbon frame will give it slightly different riding characteristics. The 8000 is the entry-level model for the eOne Sixty with a carbon-alloy frame and is a significant improvement over the eOne Sixty with an alloy frame.

All things considered, the Merida eOne Sixty 8000 is a premium electric bike, and it performs admirably in that regard thanks to a design that promotes a natural riding experience and cutting-edge e-bike technology that provides you with plenty of power to assist you with the challenging terrain.
