2022 Merida eOne Forty 8000 – Dark Strawberry/Titanium

Our range topping eONE-FORTY 8000 gets a lightweight carbon fibre front triangle with integrated Shimano EP8 drive unit and 630 Wh battery, paired to agile yet confidence-inspiring trail geometry that’s ready for all-day off-road adventures. High-performance Fox suspension means it’s ready to clean any climb you point it at while still delivering complete control on the descents and the tough Shimano LinkGlide drivetrain offers up smooth shifting, time after time. It’s our most balanced trail e-bike yet.

The eONE-FORTY might be the little sibling to our multiple award and test winning eONE-SIXTY, but when it comes to providing agile trail handling with superb flow and fun, it plays second fiddle to no-one. Equipped with Shimano’s powerful yet refined EP8 drive unit and with the 630 Wh or 750 Wh battery (model specific) integrated seamlessly into the frame, it’s the perfect partner for all kinds of adventures. The trail-specific, balanced geometry is paired to a mixed 29er/27.5” wheel size setup that delivers flow and fun for riders of all abilities, while a steeper seat angle boosts climbing capability, something ideal for an all-day e-bike mission. The low bottom bracket and lower standover height mean extra confidence while the 140 mm of front wheel and 133 mm of rear wheel travel offer up control, comfort and real rough terrain capability. The eONE-FORTY’s versatility is boosted even further by the EQ models that come fully equipped with mudguards, rack, lights and kickstand so it can tackle the mean streets as well as muddy trails.
