The Haibike Electric Bike Range Explained

The Haibike Electric Bike Range Explained

Updated for 2024

Trekking = Relaxed touring style bikes with lights, mudguards and racks. These can be great for commuting, longer distance touring and light offroad.

Adventr FS = These are Full Suspension trekking style bikes, so similarly to above they will have mudguards, lights and racks but how they differ is they will have both front and rear suspension, designed as adventure, do-it-all bikes, these are ideal for touring but could also be used on light off-road and be comfortable.

AllTrack = Hardtail Mountain bikes, so only suspension at the front, no rear suspension. These can either have 29" Wheels or 27.5" Wheels. 

AllTrail = Full Suspension, Suspension front and rear and will be more designed for cross-country then the AllMtns and other full Suspension models.

AllMtn = A Slightly more rugged full suspension bike, with longer travel and slacker head angle but still ideal for the majority of cross country off road rides as well. The jack of all trades. They tend to have 150 or 160mm Travel.

Lyke = A lightweight, lower travel full suspension bike. These have less torque and range then other models but will be a lot lighter, easier to handle and feel more like a regular bike. They tend to have 140mm Travel.

Nduro or Hybe = These are slightly more extreme versions of the AllMtn with even slacker head angles and more travel. Usaully around 170 or 180mm. Great for slightly more extreme riding such as steeper descents or drops etc.

What about the number afterwards?

This number refers to the spec level of the bike and ranges from 1.0 to 11. The higher the number, the better the spec. What do we mean by spec? This refers to the parts fitted onto the bike, so as this number gets higher you tend to get better quality brakes, gears, suspension etc.

Other things that might be in the title; 

CF = Carbon Fibre frame 

FS = Full Suspension 

27 or 27.5 = 27.5" Wheels

29 = 29" Wheels

Previous Model Years:

Sduro or Xduro?

Within the Haibike range, bikes will either be part of the Sduro category or Xduro category, so what’s the difference? This part of the model name refers to the geometry of the bike.

Sduro means Sporty – These bikes will be more suited to Cross Country, longer distance and relaxed riding. They have a slightly more comfortable Geometry and Design.

Xduro means Extreme – These bikes will be more suited to extreme riding. They have a much more aggressive geometry so are great for attacking steeper and more technical descents.

NB: If the model is before 2017/18 Sduro may mean Yamaha and Xduro may mean Bosch.

Haibike Sduro/Xduro

HardNine or FullSeven?

The easiest way to decipher this bit of the model name is to split it into two words. So for example: Hard and Nine.

The first word refers to the suspension, so bikes with Hard in the title will be Hardtails and therefore only have suspension at the front. Bikes with Full in the title with be Full-Suspension and therefore will have suspension on the front and rear.

The second word refers to wheel size. Nine means it has 29” wheels and Seven means it has 27.5” wheels.

Cross or Trekking?

The Cross and the Trekking models are very similar bikes and are suited to very similar riding. The key difference between them is the Trekking comes with a rack, lights and mudguards as standard, the Cross models don’t.

AllMtn, Nduro or Dwnhll?

To decide between these it comes down to where you will be riding, what style of riding you enjoy and how much suspension travel you need because of this. The AllMtn range will have either 150mm or 160mm travel, whereas the Nduro bikes will have 180mm and the Dwnhll 200mm.

What about the number afterwards?

This number refers to the spec level of the bike and ranges from 1.0 to 10.0. The higher the number, the better the spec. What do we mean by spec? This refers to the parts fitted onto the bike, so as this number gets higher you tend to get better quality brakes, gears, suspension etc.
