Merida has just relaunched its full range of e-MTBs with brand-new carbon and aluminum chassis. The 2024 eOne-Sixty and eOne-Forty models have been radically overhauled in a manner derived from the most recent One-Sixty and One-Forty platforms launched in 2022. That means several key ideas and technologies have been brought over from the purely human-powered models to Merida's new electric mountain bike platform – more on them later.
As part of the launch, I was invited to test ride the new Merida eOne-Sixty 675 – the lowest priced option (£5,500/€6,250) in the new, five model (three carbon, two aluminum) eOne-Sixty range.
