Merida eONE SIXTY SL 6000

The Merida eONE-SIXTY SL 6000 is an electric full-suspension mountain bike built around a lightweight carbon frame with 160 mm of travel at both ends. The single-pivot flex-stay rear suspension keeps pedalling efficient while remaining supple enough to handle rough descents. It's a geometry and construction approach aimed squarely at demanding trail and enduro riding.

Power comes from the Bosch Performance Line SX motor (Smart System, 55 Nm), which is known for its compact size and natural riding feel — it blends into the pedalling stroke rather than dominating it. The Bosch CompactTube 400 Wh battery is neatly integrated into the frame, and an optional 250 Wh range extender can be added for longer days out. Assistance levels are managed through the Bosch Purion 400 display, which stays readable even mid-descent.

Braking is handled by Shimano Deore M6120 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes — a significant step up in modulation and power compared to two-piston setups. Gear changes are smooth and reliable thanks to the Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain, paired with the Marzocchi Z1 eMTB fork (160 mm, air-sprung) and Marzocchi Bomber Air rear shock.

Rolling stock consists of Maxxis Assegai 29×2.5" (front) and Maxxis Minion DHR II 29×2.4" (rear) tyres, both tubeless-ready with EXO+ reinforced sidewalls. A flip-chip at the rear pivot allows conversion to a mullet setup (29"/27.5") if you prefer a more playful front end. Available in Heritage Red (Black) in sizes S, M and L.
