ETMO - MERIDA BIKES

For over half a century, we’ve crafted our own aluminium frames. That heritage lives on with the new Etmo, our Bosch equipped Enduro/Trail bike, where smart design and manufacturing deliver outstanding performance and trusted reliability. Taking inspiration from our award-winning, long travel eOne-Eighty, the Etmo offers a durable, versatile package with mixed wheel sizes so it’s fun and fast on any terrain, with handling that’ll bring a smile to the face of experienced riders and fresh faces alike.

PERFORMANCE FOR EVERY RIDER

For over half a century, we’ve crafted our own aluminium frames. That heritage lives on in the Bosch equipped Etmo range, where smart design and efficient manufacturing deliver outstanding performance, trusted reliability, and a lifetime frame warranty.

BOSCH POWER

Every Etmo is built for performance. The Etmo 800 and 500 Pro come with the powerful Bosch CX motor and a large 800 Wh battery for maximum range and strength. The Etmo 400 features the Bosch PX motor with a 540 Wh battery, making it a great balance of performance and value. All models have neatly integrated, removable batteries.

The Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh range extender is available separately, extending your ride when you need it most.

AGILE. CONFIDENT. VERSATILE.

THE GEOMETRY

We’ve adapted the award winning eOne-Eighty kinematic and geometry to suit a shorter travel application. Designed to be more agile and fun on mellow trails, as well as providing serious performance when things get rough.

When it comes to geometry, our Agilometer sizing concept allows riders to choose the reach and handling character they want, with low standover heights across all frame sizes and stack heights that are reasonably close together so that riders of different heights can find a good bar position using stackers or adjusting the handlebars.

Designed for confident, easy riding. The Etmo's short seat tube and generous standover height make getting on and off simple, while a low bottom bracket keeping the bike stable and connected.

CONTROLLED CLIMBING

The Etmo is built to inspire confidence and fun on every trail. A 65º head angle keeps the bike stable on fast or steep sections and the steep 78.5º seat tube angle projects your weight forward for strong, controlled climbs. The 446 mm chainstay adds stability and predictability, keeping the bike planted when it matters but the back end still feels lively and flickable.

BOSCH TECHNOLOGY FOR A PROVEN PACKAGE

THE DRIVE SYSTEM

We have chosen to partner with Bosch for the drive system Etmo range, giving us the benefits of their well-developed, highly-tuneable and proven systems that cater for the needs of many different kinds of riders and budgets. With huge brand recognition plus international backup and support that’s second to none, they’re the perfect partner for this bike.

ETMO 800 + 500 PRO

With up to 100 Nm of torque and a peak of 750W, the Performance Line CX drive unit gives ultimate power balanced with sensitive control. it's a strong, easily controllable, reliable and robust unit.

ETMO 400

The Performance Line PX drive unit takes what Bosch have learnt from their very successful CX unit and packs it into a much more affordable package that’s very quiet in operation, thanks to a revised gearing system. The PX drive unit delivers up to 90Nm of torque and 700W of peak power so despite the affordability it’s still a potent unit when riding.

BOSCH BATTERY TECHNOLOGY

The Etmo 400 uses the 540 Wh, and the 500 Pro & 800 use 800 Wh Bosch InTube batteries, which are easily removable via a keyed lock for safety. When using the largest capacity 800 Wh battery, the deeper section of the unit is compensated for via a slightly larger battery cover. The Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh range extender is available separately.

SIMPLE DISPLAYS

The Etmo 400 + 500 Pro use the all in one bar mounted Purion 200 controller and display. It shows assistance level, battery charge and more via a colour LCD screen through a wired connection to the drive unit. it's Bluetooth enabled so the use of the advanced Bosch Flow app is possible.

On the Etmo 800, the digital LCD Purion 400 colour display is mounted inboard, near the stem, to keep it out of the way. This is paired with a wireless Mini Remote positioned near the grip for easy access when riding.

SMALL DETAILS MATTER

THE FEATURES

Whether you’re a serious rider or completely new to the sport, the fine details of your bike spec really matter.

Short cranks for clearance

All bikes in all sizes now come with short 160 mm crank arms, giving much improved ground clearance over the more traditional 170-175 mm lengths. This means that riders can keep pedalling over rougher terrain without fear of hitting their pedals, allowing them to keep their cadence up and enabling the drive unit to deliver power even on tricky technical climbs.

Keeping it simple

We've avoided proprietary standards & interfaces, making maintenance much easier. The universally available SRAM UDH mech hanger, offers compatibility with the latest generation of SRAM direct-mount T-Type transmissions. We've used standard headsets and spacers plus standard Boost axle spacing for our wheels.

Comfort and control

We’ve updated our contact points; the new half ribbed, half waffle pattern Expert TR grips provide comfort and control in spades. We've chosen fixed travel dropper posts in place of our travel adjustable Expert TR II unit to save costs but each frame size is paired with a specific travel post, ranging from 150 mm on the Short frame up to 230 mm on XLong.

Agilometer sizing system

Frame grows mainly in reach and wheelbase, while seat tube and head tube remain relatively close across frame sizes. Easy to find the perfect seat height on all frame sizes thanks to the short but straight seat tube and size-tuned seatposts 150 mm (S), 170 mm (M), 200 mm (L), 230 mm (XL). Riders can size up or down to fine-tune the handling they want

Size tuned suspension. Comfort and control for every rider.

Size-specific leverage ratios allow smaller, lighter riders to access full travel but give support to larger, heavier riders/ Kinematic allows the use of coil shocks for more aggressive riders.

Trail-ready geometry. From climb to descent.

Well-balanced geometry for trail and enduro riding.
+ Robust aluminium frame and lifetime frame warranty
+ Four frame sizes from Short to XLong
+ Steep seat angle: 78.5°
+ Slack head tube angle: 65°
+ Mixed wheel size setup uses a large 29" front wheel for rollover and a smaller 27.5" rear wheel for increased agility
