Merida eONE-SIXTY 900E

The Merida eONE-SIXTY 900E is one of the best eMTBs money can buy, and has a number of top accolades:

  • Design & Innovation Award
  • TAIPEI CYCLE D&I Award
  • ‘Best in Test’ by E-Mountainbike Magazine
  • ‘Best Value’ by E-Mountainbike Magazine

Leading eMTB magazine ‘E-Mountainbike’ declared the Merida eONE-SIXTY 900E having “brilliant and cohesive spec” a “stylish image” and comes at a “great price“. Praise indeed for what is a truly awesome machine. First impressions are all about the look of the bike. Perfect geometry. Perfect lines. Then there’s the plethora of high level components that take the eONE-SIXTY to dizzy heights. Designed for full off road, this gem of an eMTB provides serious performance.

Perfect Balance, Extraordinary Performance

Powered by the new Shimano E8000 engine, the Merida eONE-SIXTY 900E delivers extraordinary performance. Light and responsive, the E8000 marks a new era for eMTBs. Merida refer to their frames as having a ‘casting motorbracket’. This allows a more integrated look as well as improved motor performance. In addition, frame material is triple butted aluminium alloy and is extremely light and durable. Manufacturing ensures an optimised stiffness-to-weight ratio. A huge 500Wh battery ensures long rides, and fits seamlessly into the frame.

The Fox Float 36 Boost 160mm forks are Kashima coated and ultra responsive. Capable of gobbling up almost anything. The ‘Boost’ thru axle widens the hub spacing by 6mm resulting in a flatter spoke angle. Wheels are stiffer and stronger. Chain stay length is shorter for greater agility. Rear suspension is provided via a FOX Factory Float X2, and delivers ultimate compensation whenever required. A tapered headtube ensures superb stiffness and precise steering.

Di2 Electronic Shifting

Gearing on the Merida eONE-SIXTY 900E doesn’t get any better. A Shimano XT Shadow Plus and 11-speed 11-46T cassette work in perfect harmony. Add Di2 electronic easy switch shifting, and the result is effortless, reliable and efficient gear changes. Wheels are tough, stable and reliable. Maxxis Minion DHR II 2.8″ Plus tyres adorn the awesome, lightweight DT Swiss HX1501 Spline One rims. Consequently, the result is ultra strength and endurance. Hubs are once more DT Swiss and utilise the fabulous HX1501 Spline One 35 boost. A perfect match. Braking comes in the form of Shimano Saint hydraulic disc brakes. A set of 203mm rotors are more than up to the job. Shimano Saint brake levers add a nice feel,to what is a very responsive and effective system.

The RockShox Reverb dropper seatpost is a nice touch. It facilitates easy handling on all those tricky downhills at the press of a button!

Furthermore, the aesthetics of the eONE-SIXTY 900E are enviable. Internal cable routing has been perfected thanks to Merida’s ‘Smart Entry’ approach. Cables are routed internally. However, they are clamped under tension eliminating cable rattle and noise even when the going gets tough. Special inlets and outlets ensure a clean and uncluttered look. For even greater strength and resilience, welding comprises a two-stage process. A second weld evens the connecting welding seam. This produces a ‘smooth-weld’ appearance for even more astonishing looks.

Merida really have thought hard about producing a top end eMTB. The eONE-SIXTY 900E is a real winner.

Also available in absolutely stunning black, is the Merida eONE-SIXTY 900E Black.

All sizing information is a guide only. If you have any questions about bike sizing, our expert team is here to help. Call us on 01905 611774.

How do I measure my height?

With your shoes off, stand upright against a wall, with your shoulders back and legs together. Use a pencil to make a small mark on the wall above your head (make sure you hold the pencil parallel to the floor). Then measure from the floor to your mark, in centimetres or feet and inches.

How do I measure my inside leg length?

With your shoes off, stand upright with your back against a wall. Place a book/ruler between your legs, level with your crotch. Then measure from the floor to the top of the book/ruler, in centimetres or feet and inches (it’s easier if a friend helps).

Q & A

Do all brands of ebike use the same unit of measurement?

No. Most brands show sizing in centimetres, however some use a S/M/L system, and others use inches. The table above includes all of these variations to help you find the right size.

Which size should I go for if I'm in between those listed?

If your measurements suggest that you have a choice of two different sizes, then in the end it’s a personal choice. Here are some rules of thumb to consider: Touring/Trekking ebikes - choose the smaller size. It is possible to make a smaller frame bigger (for example, by raising the saddle or fitting a longer the stem), whereas if the frame itself is too big for you, it’s likely to be less comfortable and won't feel right. eMTBs - choose the larger size. You’ll find an eMTB with a slightly larger frame easier to handle than one that feels cramped. You can always fit a shorter stem if necessary to reduce the reach to the handlebars.

How are ebike frame sizes measured?

An electric bike’s frame size is calculated by measuring the distance from the top of the seat tube (where the seat post inserts), to the centre of the front chainring. Sizing Guide
