Singletrack Magazine say the ONE-SIXTY 875 has "immense line-holding traction"
Singletrack Magazine has tested the eONE-SIXTY 875 and come away impressed, saying that it is “a big fan of steep gradients. Both up and down” and that it is “something of a bikepark hot-lapper”.
Our aluminium framed machine uses a huge 750 Wh batter and is powered by the latest Shimano EP801 drive unit, which the tester said “is in a different league in terms of power delivery compared to previous EP8 series motors”.
This, along with the progressive geometry, meant that the eONE-SIXTY “made for an exceptional technical ascending machine. Immense grip. Excellent at slow bumps, small bumps, bigger bumps, speedy haul-ups and pretty much anything you could point it at to squirt up.”
Of course, the handling on the descents was also praised, with the reviwer saying “This bike lives for steep, technical descents” and that “It does the whole pitter-patter thang on loose terrain to find immense line-holding traction. It can swallow big, unexpected hits without complaining or getting weird”.
The specification was also singled out, with our TEAM TR II dropper being praised, saying: “The excellently long 230mm dropper post was a highlight”.
The powerful Shimano XT brakes and grippy Maxxis tyres were also a high point, with the reviewer saying: “Kudos to Merida for speccing big rotors on the brakes (220mm front, 203mm rear) and also a steel chainring from FSA for better durability” and that “The tyres they were shod with are impresssive: a proper MaxxGrip Assegai up front and a suitable DoubleDown casing DHR II on the rear.”
They summed up the review by saying that riders should: “Use that big ol’ battery to spend the day smashing descents and then whizzing back up to the top.”
