Merida eOne Eighty
Calling all heavy hitters, bike park senders and big mountain brawlers, this one’s for you. The new eOne-Eighty has landed and it’s ready to ride the biggest lines and burliest tracks. You can say goodbye to waiting in the uplift queue because it can rip and repeat all day long thanks to a big 800 Wh battery and Bosch CX power.
It’s our longest travel e-bike ever, with 180 mm of suspension at either end and a robust aluminium frame. Add coil shock compatibility, mixed wheel size only setup and a whole host of other features and getting rowdy is where the eOne-Eighty starts, not finishes. Up or down, it’s ready to rock.
This is also our first e-MTB to use the Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit, offering powerful assistance and silent performance with 85 Nm on tap. There’s a serious amount of range thanks to the new 800 Wh battery and an option to add a 250 Wh range extender.
Rider focused and ready to rip
The new eOne-Eighty is highly capable, whether you’re getting sendy in the bike park or
tackling super enduro laps in the mountains it won’t disappoint. The geometry and handling are balanced with enough pop to put a smile on your face when sideways mid air/mid corner/mid everywhere but stable enough for the most chaotic tracks when playtime is over and you want to get the hammer down.
Want numbers? A 64.5º head angle creates a planted front end, a 78.5º seat tube angle
keeps you in the right place on steep climbs and there’s a stack height of 661 mm and
reach of 460 mm for the Mid frame.
The Agilometer sizing system allows you to select your frame size based on your handling preference. Instead of seat tube length the bike size is based on the reach measurement. Opt for a longer frame size for a more stable ride or a shorter frame size for a more agile, flickable feeling . Mid sized frames offer a balance of both.
A frame that’s built to send and last
Years of experience of working with aluminium have honed the performance of our 6061 series aluminium alloy. This is hydroformed into shape and the main triangle is robot welded before being finished by hand in our factory in Taiwan. It’s rated for Category 5 riding so you can get stuck into as many bike park laps or downhill tracks as you like without voiding the 5-year warranty.
Easy battery swap and space for water or a range extender
The battery can easily be removed for off bike charging or replacement on a really big ride thanks to a frame cut out. A new cover protects from dirt, impact and moisture, holding itself in place with Fidlock magnets.
There’s space in the front triangle for a water bottle or you can add a 250 Wh PowerMore
range extender, available separately.
THE POWER OF BOSCH
The new Bosch Performance Line CX motor has 85 Nm of torque for great climbing power and best in class thermal stability. It can tackle the toughest, steepest, longest climbs over and over again; the drive unit will consistently deliver maximum power without needing time to cool down.
A choice of 600 Wh and 800 Wh batteries are available to suit all budgets.
Select the new Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery for loads of riding time. With an incredible 205 Wh/kg energy density, it delivers the most punch to weight of any battery in the Bosch arsenal. In contrast, the previous Powertube 750 Wh offered up 174Wh/kg ; gaining more range for the weight has got to be a winner.
If that’s not enough to satisfy your lust for range, you can add a 250 Wh PowerMore range extender, available separately. Weighing just 1.6 kg and fitting to the water bottle mount on the frame, it’s an easy way to ramp up your ride time.
The controls and displays are basic; the Bosch Wireless Mini Remote on the bar controls everything whilst the Smart Controller integrated into the top tube displays battery life and assistance level. You can upgrade to one of Bosch’s extensive range of displays if you want more information but we reckon you’ll want to keep your eyes on the trail ahead, not a screen.
