The role of Bike Patrol

«Within our structure – replied Luca D'Angelo, the Director of Dolomiti Paganella Bike – we have four full-time Bike Patrols during the summer season who are specifically assigned the task of monitoring our entire surface area. For this reason, the Bike Patrol themselves need to move around with their e-bikes quickly and safely. The agreement with Merida goes precisely in this direction: to provide reliable, high-performance e-bikes to those who monitor our trails and provide maximum assistance to the bikers who choose us for their excursions."

As anticipated, Merida will provide the Dolomiti Paganella Bike Patrol with six e-MTBs from the eONE-Sixty family. In particular, the eONE-SIXTY 775 model features a triple-butted Prolite 66 HFS-hydroformed aluminum frame. It features dual shock absorbers and 150 mm of rear wheel travel to ensure the biker has an extremely balanced position. The motor is a Shimano EP8, with 85 Nm of torque, while the frame can accommodate a 750 Wh battery.
