9 out of 10 test score from MBR for our ONE-SIXTY 10K

The team at MBR spent an extensive test period on our ONE-SIXTY 10K (model 2024) and gave it a near-perfect test score of 9 out of 10. Featuring the exact frame and frame concept that continues into our 2025 model range and being decked out with some of the finest enduro race-ready equipment you can find, the ONE-SIXTY certainly left its mark on the test team.
In addition to the “totally current…in terms of geometry, frame details and standards” frame, a key feature the team wanted to investigate was RockShox’s Flight Attendant electronic suspension system, which they found helped give the ONE-SIXTY an "extra boost". Having first tested the bike at last year's THE EX multi-day enduro race in the UK, where the technology really helped give the bike an edge, they found it to be a super helpful tool during their testing period.
Taking a closer look at the frame, the team was impressed with its super clean and “uncluttered” look, low weight and frictionless rear suspension action.
Out on the trail, the ONE-SIXTY performed flawlessly, offering “plenty of clout to smooth out massive hits and proper chunk when you’re getting a shift on, and it’s smooth and comfortable over more high-frequency type small bumps”.
Their final verdict:
“The overall ride quality and versatility of Merida One-Sixty 10K is seriously impressive. […] Automatic suspension adjustments might not be strictly necessary on a bike that’s already at the lighter end of its category, but I reckon in this guise, the One-Sixty is more efficient on the gas than pretty much any other enduro equivalent.”
- Merida’s geometry, handling and suspension are all spot-on
- Flight Attendant mostly works seamlessly and makes your ride more efficient without any weird traits or quirks
- The One-Sixty rides light and nimble, but is also stable and calm enough for serious enduro terrain
- SRAM’s top-tier Transmission worked flawlessly
- Looks fantastic in metallic green
