At Haibike, design has long been paramount. No matter whether the powerful Flyon, the powerful Nduros or the previous AllmtnThe Schweinfurt-based company also flexed its muscles visually. The double kink in the top tube, the long head tube area "Concorde beak" and the powerful rear triangle were intended to emphasise Haibike's power image.
All of these elements can also be found on the new Haibike Allmtn with aluminium frame, although the engineers have once again given much higher priority to a low overall weight. The frame has therefore been made slimmer, and the in-house modular rail system for attaching accessories to the down tube has given way to classic bottle cage threads. All peanuts? On the contrary! The developers were able to save a whopping 1.5 kilograms on the frame alone. This should make the Allmtn more powerful and versatile than ever before.
As before, Haibike is sticking to 160/150 millimetres of travel on the Allmtn. A sweet spot between all-mountain bike and enduro and just right when it comes to versatile off-road requirements. In addition to the reduced weight, the frame is officially approved for use in accordance with ASTM category 4 (Enduro). The permissible total weight has also been increased to 135 kilograms compared to the low 120 kilograms of its predecessor.
The new Performance Line CX from Bosch provides the thrust. Its performance data - maximum 85 Nm/600 watts - is very similar to its predecessor. However, the motor is somewhat lighter and quieter, and we also found the ride feel to be even smoother in our first test. The fact that the motor no longer rattles downhill is a valuable feature. Haibike relies on thick 800 batteries in all Allmtns, which are even slightly lighter than the previous 750s and ensure a massive range.
The geometry and kinematics of the new e-bike are said to be strongly based on its predecessor, and the Allmtn continues to roll on mullet wheels - 29-inch at the front and 27.5-inch at the rear. This should give the bike good agility even on tighter trails. The dimensions of the frame are moderate but modern and suggest confident trail handling.
Unusual: Haibike is targeting the price-performance class up to 6000 euros with the aluminium Allmtn, but only offers the bike in two model versions. Both are quite close to each other. The entry-level Haibike Allmtn 4 changes hands for 5499 euros. It comes with a mechanical twelve-speed drivetrain from Sram (NX/SX-Eagle), TRP brakes and Rockshox 35 fork in the Gold version with Motion Control shock. The Allmtn 6 for 5999 euros is a little more upmarket. It features the new Rockshox Psylo fork, also in the gold version. The brakes and twelve-speed drivetrain come from Shimano. The battery on both bikes has 800 watt hours.
