NO COMPROMISE E-ENDURO.
HUMAN-POWERED INSPIRED HANDLING.
The eONE-SIXTY SL represents a new breed of e-mountain bike, combining the poise of an unassisted bike and the power of a Bosch SX drive unit to help you ride further and faster. With a lightweight full carbon frame, 160mm of balanced travel and a build that blends hard-hitting performance with low weight, it blurs the line between conventional and assisted riding. The growing e-bike market is beginning to fragment between those who value maximum battery capacity and those who want their e-bike to handle more like an unassisted bike.
Even a lightweight full-support e-bike has a significant weight penalty over an unassisted bike, so for 2025, we will expand our groundbreaking e-bike range to include our first ever light-support e-MTB - and our first ever Bosch-powered eONE-SIXTY.
BOOSTED POWER MEETS BALANCED HANDLING
The new eONE-SIXTY SL combines ‘human-powered’ bike handling and enduro tough but lightweight equipment with the latest compact Bosch Performance Line SX motor with 55Nm, and a fully integrated 400Wh battery, resulting in a total weight of around 19.5kg. Instead of using fragile tyres and wheels to reduce the overall weight of the bike, we specify fit-for-purpose equipment that can withstand the rigours of enduro riding. We do not compromise on durability or performance to shave a few grams off the overall weight.
DESIGNED FOR ENTHUSIASTS
POWERFUL DESCENDER FOR MAXIMUM FUN
The new eONE-SIXTY SL is aimed at enthusiast enduro riders who want an agile and capable bike downhill and are willing to put in a decent amount of pedalling effort while using the assistance to maximise the fun. They are happy to accept a small reduction in battery capacity and motor power to achieve handling and manoeuvrability normally only achieved on non-powered enduro bikes. It will also be of interest to riders who regularly choose to ride unassisted, perhaps due to riding with human-powered riders, where the low overall weight is a significant help. Adding the PowerMore 250Wh range extender to the 400Wh battery makes the bike also attractive to riders looking for top-end performance and comfort on extended trail rides rather than full enduro capability.
POWER UNLEASHED
ELEGANCE MEETS PERFORMANCE
The heart of the new eONE-SIXTY SL is Bosch’s latest Performance Line SX light-support drive unit, which weighs in at just under 2kg, helping our new light-support bike to achieve its target weight of 19.5kg. The SX develops 55Nm of torque with a peak output of 600W, similar to other full-power drive units on the market, allowing trained riders to easily keep up with riders on full-support bikes.
The non-removable, integrated Compact PowerTube 400Wh battery pack is lightweight and gives the frame a very low-profile appearance. If more range is needed, the PowerMore 250Wh range extender battery can be added to provide full-support battery capacity. Finally, to control the motor and get vital information from the battery and power unit, we use a Smart Controller in the top tube and a Wireless Mini Remote on the handlebar for a sleek look, plus the option of a Purion 400 display.
LIGHTWEIGHT PRECISION MEETS ENDURO TOUGHNESS
As weight is critical for this bike, it will only be available in a full carbon fibre frame to keep the overall weight of the bike as low as possible. The non-removable battery doesn’t require a downtube cut-out, further reducing weight by eliminating the need to add frame material to maintain critical frame stiffness. By combining the full carbon frame with the less than 2kg weighing Performance Line SX motor and lightweight yet enduro-tough specification, we have managed to give our eONE-SIXTY SL the durability, grip and trail efficiency you expect from a MERIDA enduro-approved e-full suspension machine.
EXTRA RANGE AND VERSATILITY
For added versatility and increased range, the eONE-SIXTY SL can be fitted with a 750ml water bottle or the Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender battery in the front triangle
SLEEK INTEGRATION AND A CLEAN COCKPIT
All cables, including gear, brake and dropper post cables, enter the frame through a specifically designed headset cover, creating a clutter-free cockpit and reducing cable rattle. The proven WIRE PORT system can be found on the majority of road, mountain, gravel and full-suspension bikes. We use ACROS Block Lock headsets to prevent bar rotation from damaging the frame in the event of a crash.
SMART ON-BOARD STORAGE WITH TUBE MOUNT
Neatly tucked away in front of the rear shock, our TUBE MOUNT base plate offers simple yet effective on-board storage for tubes and tools.
