Overview
The Merida ETMO 500 PRO is a mid-range build of the ETMO: Bosch Performance Line CX (120 Nm) with 800 Wh, SR Suntour Zeron 36X fork, SR Suntour Edge X R shock, Shimano CUES U6000 and SRAM DB4 stealth brakes.
The ETMO is Merida's most price-focused Bosch-powered e-MTB, with an aluminium frame derived from the eONE-EIGHTY, mixed 29/27.5-inch wheels and a lifetime frame warranty for Category 4 (all-mountain/enduro) use. The 800 and 700 run 160 mm of travel at both ends; the 500 and 400 builds use a 140 mm fork and a shorter-travel rear end.
