Hey I was in the process of buying a 2023 Merida Eone 60 500 from a local shop. It was on special but I just had some hesitation as it had a Rockshox Gold fork and I had one of them on my XC bike years ago and remember it was nothing really special.. OK for dirt but shitty on the rough stuff.
The the shop rang me back and said they have a 2021 Eone 60 700 for the same price with much better suspension.
Now I'm super keen to buy it but is a 2.5 year old battery going to be starting to degrade? I know with my rc helis days age was a big factor with lipo performance. The shop said they cycle the batteries monthly to keep them in good order but is it worth forking out $$ extra for the current model with a 2023 spec battery?
