The eOne-Forty vs. eOne-Sixty
While the eOne-Sixty is the star of the Merida eBike lineup, the eOne-Forty shares the same frame and design features, but with unique ride characteristics. The eOne-Forty is designed to be more agile and playful, with a shorter shock stroke that reduces rear travel to 133mm, and a 140mm front fork that creates a steeper seat angle and extends the reach. This setup makes the eOne-Forty an excellent climber, ideal for riders seeking a nimble and responsive bike.
Mixed Wheel Setup
The mixed wheel size setup combines a 29-inch front wheel with a 2.5" tire and a 27.5-inch rear wheel with a 2.6" tire. This configuration provides precise steering, excellent traction, and the ability to roll over obstacles smoothly, making it perfect for varied trail conditions.
