The Haibike stand at Eurobike impressed dealers, end customers and certainly also competitors. Alongside the mountain bikes and racing bikes was a gigantic selection of e-bike models. Haibike was an early adopter of the e-bike wave and has now electrified every conceivable bike variant, including a full-carbon fully costing 12999 euros.
But in the slipstream of the e-bikes, the purely muscle-powered mountain bikes have also been refreshed. The Q series includes:
29er full-suspension bikes with 100 millimetres of travel (Q.XC 9) from 1999 to 2999 euros.
27.5-inch All-Mountains with 120 suspension (Q.XC 7) from 1999 to 2999 euros
27.5-inch All-Mountains with 140 millimetre suspension (Q.AM 7) from 2499 to 3299 euros.
and two enduro bikes with 160 mm chassis in 27.5 inch (Q.EN 7) from 2599 to 3299 euros.
Common to all aluminium fullys in the Q series is the central component manufactured using "Gravity Casting Technology", the heart of the bike, so to speak. This is where the suspension strut sits, where the down tube and top tube are attached and where the bearings are located. The cast aluminium part ensures a low centre of gravity, the front derailleur is attached to it and a mudguard for the shock is also integrated. This sits in the path of mud thrown from the rear wheel.
The sporty fullys in the Sleek and Heet series are also available from €2999 to €8999 with E:i-Shock.
Anyone looking for an affordable 27.5-inch carbon hardtail will find it in the new Freed series. Not only are racers catered for here (up to 6999 euros for the Freed 7.50), but there is also a cheaper, slightly heavier version of the frame for 1499 euros with Shimano XT-Mix (Freed 7.10).
