Merida eONE-SIXTY 575 (EP6) Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. The Bosch motor takes away the fear of even the steepest ramps. The combination of a very natural riding feeling and a dynamic power delivery characterises the Bosch Performance Line CX. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. Thanks to the excellent range, you should no longer have any range problems.

In the about 5000€ price range, most manufacturers use aluminium as the frame material. With a carbon frame, Canyon turns the weight screw and sets itself apart from the competitors. Solid endurance qualities are shown by the chassis of medium quality. Thanks to the solid power, the Shimano brakes can be counted on in the upper class segment. With four pistons and big brake rotors, Canyon won't take any chances in that area. Shifting and components still leave room for improvement. Other providers dig deeper into their pockets for these assemblies. The relatively high reach value in the geometry table is compensated by Canyon with a relatively short stem. Thus, the long main frame remains maneuverable in the terrain.
