Merida eONE-FORTY 775 (EP801) Review

Shimano has become the biggest component manufacturer for bicycles thanks to its gear, pedal and brake components. It's clear that the Japanese want to shape the E-Bike trend from this dominant market position. The well-rounded motor control and the gentle power output characterise the character of the Shimano motor. Fans of XXL tours will be happy with the THEOS F100 SH due to ist excellent range.

Even nasty descents get smoothened by the good Rock Shox chassis. In comparison, it's noticeable that the direct competition mounts better chassises, thus offering significantly more control. At the brakes, Kellys reaches for the top shelf and instals highend-stopper with four pistons and 2 millimeter rotors from Shimano. At the drive components and the remaining parts, Kellys uses very good parts. When it comes to the geometry, Kellys does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling.
