Merida eONE EIGHTY 500 (2025)

The eONE-EIGHTY 500 is built for taking on the gnarliest trails wherever you find them. With 180 mm of travel at either end from our robust aluminium frame, a RockShox Zeb Base fork and Vivid Base shock mean this bike is ready to eat up rock gardens for breakfast, drops for lunch and some gaps for dinner - or whatever you're hungry for. The Bosch CX drive unit and a huge 800 Wh battery mean you can repeat that for as long as you like too, while our mixed wheel size setup means this is a bruiser that can dance.

Calling all heavy hitters, bike park senders and big mountain brawlers, this one’s for you. The new eONE-EIGHTY has landed, and it’s ready to ride the biggest lines and burliest tracks - and you can say goodbye to waiting in the uplift queue because it can rip and repeat all day long thanks to a big 800 Wh battery and Bosch CX power.It’s our longest travel e-bike ever, with 180 mm of suspension at either end on a robust aluminium frame with a new suspension platform that builds on our award-winning FAST kinematic from the eONE-SIXTY and sends it to new heights.

Add in coil shock compatibility, mixed-wheel size only setup, plus a whole host of other features and getting rowdy is where the eONE-EIGHTY starts, not finishes. Up or down, it’s ready to rock.It’s also our first e-MTB to use the Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit, which offers powerful assistance and silent performance with 85 Nm on tap. There’s a serious amount of range on offer too, thanks to the new 800 or 600 Wh battery - plus the option of a 250 Wh range extender.

You can easily remove the battery for off-bike charging or replacement on a really big ride, plus we’ve also got a new cover that protects from dirt, impacts and moisture - and it holds itself in place with the magic of Fidlock magnets.It’s rated for Category 5 riding too, so you can get stuck into as many bike park laps or downhill tracks as you like without voiding the 5-year warranty.
