AMB - Tested: 2021 MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 9000

The team at Australian Mountain Bike Magazine have tested out the all-new eONE-SIXTY 9000 in its vibrant red colourway. Here's what they had to say, or check out their YouTube video.

"The Merida eOne-Sixty 9000 is a well though out and extremely good value for money eMTB that handles anything the modern mountain bike can throw at it. Merida have always been hard to beat for value, and there are no short cuts with this bike to get it to where it is. While the 10k model does have a very fancy spec, the performance on the 9000 didn't leave me feeling like I was missing out on any of those upgrades.

"Whether you have an original eOne-Sixty, or a bike with a Shimano STEPS E8000 system, and you're wondering whether the upgrade is worth it, I would suggest that it is. The EP8 system is a clear step above the previous generation system in terms of power delivery, efficiency and range, and likewise for the eOne-Sixty platform. When Merida updated the frame design for 2020 they did a great job, and marrying that frame to the EP8 system has created an eMTB that should be even more popular than the original."
