Your eMTB needs to be an all-rounder that stays loyal and reliable in every situation! Regardless of whether you’re on relaxed tours or demanding trails uphill or downhill – the bike needs to deliver superb performance. There’s nothing like heading off on your next adventure!

You take your ebike everywhere and demand a lot of it. As such, it needs to deal with everything you throw at it. Regardless of whether you start your post-work trail loop directly from your front door or speed across the most epic trails in the world while on holiday, your eMTB is a trustworthy companion, your favourite piece of sports equipment and your first choice of discovery vehicle. It’s important to you to be able to try everything out, to have fun while doing so and to not spend too much time on ascents. That’s why you need a bike with enough power, capable suspension, powerful brakes and performance-oriented components. You don’t mind forgoing everyday equipment like a bike stand or luggage rack – everything you need for the trail fits in your hip bag or rucksack anyway.

If you love sunsets or the post-ride beer tastes too good, it doesn’t hurt…
… to have an integrated light on your bike to be able to get home safely along trails and roads.

You may need a light if your tour takes longer than planned because you discovered great new trails, enjoyed the sunset by the sea or drank one post-ride beer too many. If that’s the case, bikes like the MERIDA eONE SIXTY 10K are the ideal choice for you, combining everything that you need! Regardless of whether you’re going downhill or uphill, riding flowing or super technical tracks, on an extended tour or blasting trails around the world, our recommendations don’t just master every discipline but are the crème de la crème of the all-rounders.
