Overview
The Merida eONE-EIGHTY 500 is the entry build of the eONE-EIGHTY: Bosch Performance Line CX (120 Nm) with 800 Wh, RockShox Zeb eMTB fork, RockShox Vivid Base shock, Shimano CUES U6000 and SRAM DB4 stealth brakes.
The eONE-EIGHTY is Merida's longest-travel e-MTB: an aluminium frame with 180 mm of travel front and rear, mixed 29/27.5-inch wheels only and coil-shock compatibility. Its suspension builds on the FAST kinematic of the eONE-SIXTY, and the frame is rated for Category 5 (downhill/bike park) riding under the 5-year warranty.
All builds use the Bosch Performance Line CX (120 Nm) with an 800 Wh PowerTube battery; a 250 Wh range extender is optional. The FR 800 and FR 600 are bike-park-focused builds with coil shocks (RockShox Vivid Coil and DVO Jade X respectively).
