Merida combines German design and engineering with Taiwanese production expertise to create a wide range of high-quality bikes that provide outstanding value for money. Merida uses the Shimano STEPS system on all their 2020 e-bikes. The eOne-Twenty and eOne-Sixty full-suspension eMTB models have won multiple awards for design and riding characteristics and have been completely redesigned for 2020. The eONE FORTY is a new addition in the 2020 line-up. The LTD ED model features the same geomerty as the other eONE FORTY bikes in a highly sophisticated, yet cost-effective aluminium frame and high-level components including the STEPS E8000 drive unit and the new Shimano XT M8100 12-speed derailleur gears.
