Merida eONE-SIXTY 875 IV1 Guarded Gold
Product information "eONE-SIXTY 875 IV1 Guarded Gold"
Goodbye range anxiety, hello new horizons. The eONE-SIXTY 875’s robust aluminium frame combines a full-power drive unit with a removable 750 Wh battery and an optional 360 Wh auxiliary battery. With our tried-and-tested, low-maintenance FAST suspension platform, you can ride with mixed wheel sizes as standard or switch to a full 29-inch setup without compromise. To ensure uncompromising suspension performance, we’ve combined a RockShox Zeb fork and a Super Deluxe shock with a durable Shimano XT LinkGlide drivetrain.
With the new eONE-SIXTY, your next ride is just around the corner. Thanks to the combination of a powerful motor and a removable 750 Wh battery with an optional 360 Wh secondary battery, the eONE-SIXTY with its aluminium frame offers excellent value for money and maximum battery range. With our incredibly capable geometry, derived from the award-winning ONE-SIXTY Enduro range, we’ve achieved handling that lets you tackle both the toughest climbs and the most exhilarating descents, whilst our tried-and-tested FAST kinematic suspension system can handle whatever the trail throws at you. To maximise performance for riders of all sizes, the low-maintenance Flexstay design offers 174 mm of rear travel and 170 mm at the front, with size-specific progression. The bike can also be fitted with the latest coil shock absorbers. The eONE-SIXTY comes as standard with mixed wheel sizes (29"/27.5") to deliver the most playful handling possible. However, thanks to our flip-chip design, it’s also possible to switch to a pure 29er setup without disrupting the geometry. Thanks to the low standover height across all sizes, you can choose between a longer frame for more stable handling or a shorter one for a more agile ride. Some models are also equipped with our groundbreaking dropper post, adjustable from 30 to 230 mm.

Technologies
HFS – HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM
To get the very best out of an aluminium tube, various processing methods are used. The most complex and, at the same time, the most effective is hydroforming. In this process, the aluminium tube is placed into a negative mould and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced through it under high pressure. The result is perfectly shaped aluminium tubes, which form the basis for elegant and lightweight aluminium frames.
X-TAPER HEADTUBE
High steering precision is crucial for safe and confident handling. The X-TAPER HEADTUBE significantly improves this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom and a smaller one at the top cope with the high stresses of modern riding styles without adding unnecessary weight. At the same time, it allows for easy fitting of tapered forks and ensures precise, confidence-inspiring steering behaviour.
SMOOTH WELDING
This process ensures a particularly clean and flat finish on the weld seams. By passing the welding torch over the seam again, the filler metal is smoothed out, thereby preventing any visual irregularities. The result is extremely sturdy and elegant frames that resemble carbon fibre in appearance.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Gear and brake cables are routed internally through the frame. Depending on the model, the cables are guided via discreet stops or systems such as SMART ENTRY or WIRE PORT. This protects the cables from the elements, ensures a tidy appearance and offers additional aerodynamic benefits.
DI2 READY
Shimano’s electronic Di2 gear-shifting system enables fast, precise and reliable gear changes. Compatible frames are designed to accommodate the integration of electronic cables, batteries and other system-related components.
RACELITE 61 ALUMINIUM
6061-grade aluminium is used, which is ideally suited to hydroforming and technoforming processes. Varying wall thicknesses result in double-butted tubes and complex frame shapes. Careful heat treatment produces stable yet lightweight bike frames that deliver a highly enjoyable riding experience.
K-MOUNT
An integrated K-MOUNT on the chainstay makes it easy to fit a MERIDA side stand or standard side stands available on the market. When no stand is in use, the mounting point remains discreetly concealed and does not detract from the bike’s appearance.
CASTING MOTOR BRACKET
The motor interface on an e-bike frame is manufactured using casting technology to achieve a complex yet lightweight shape. This creates an extremely stable connection between the motor and the frame, enhancing performance, reliability and a clean aesthetic.
NON-SLIP TIGHTENING
A system that allows key bolts to be tightened using just one tool. Specially shaped bolt heads engage with corresponding recesses in the frame, preventing them from turning. This makes it easy to replace damaged threads or bolts.
INTERNAL BLOCK SYSTEM
This system limits steering angle in both directions and prevents the fork crown from damaging the down tube. An additional rubber coating protects the frame and fork in the event of crashes or extreme steering angles.
ENERGY GUARD TWIST
Two-component battery cover for integrated batteries. It provides reliable protection against dirt and moisture, absorbs impacts thanks to a softer outer layer, and is securely fastened via a tool-free twist lock – even on challenging terrain.
P-FLEX
A chassis design without a traditional pivot point on the seat stay. The controlled flex of the material and the special tube shape allow the seat stays and chain stays to move when the suspension compresses. This reduces weight and maintenance requirements whilst increasing structural stiffness.
WIRE PORT
Control cables are routed from the handlebars through the headset cover directly into the frame. This ensures a particularly clean look as well as a lighter, sturdier and more aerodynamic frame construction. Depending on the model, the cable routing is either fully or semi-integrated.
FAST KINEMATIC
Size-specific rear end kinematics with Flexstay design to reduce weight and maintenance requirements. Different progression rates depending on frame size, along with a flip chip, allow for either a 29er or mullet setup whilst maintaining consistent handling.
LONG FENDER
Mounting points for an optional long mudguard provide improved protection against dirt and moisture. This keeps the rider and bike cleaner, reduces noise and extends the service life of bearings and cables.
