Haibike's latest model should be more versatile than ever. According to the manufacturer, the new E-MTB models feel at home on any terrain, from relaxed laps around the house to long climbs in the Alps and jumps in the bike park. To achieve this, the developers have combined the new carbon frame with 160 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear and planted the brand-new Bosch Performance CX Smart System into the bike. The MX wheel mix of 29 inches at the front and 27.5 inches at the rear should combine playful manoeuvrability with smooth running. And the price? Extremely attractive! The entry-level model is expected to start at 5499 euros with a carbon frame and new Bosch system.

Haibike All Mtn CF: The drive unit
The necessary uphill push is the responsibility of Bosch's new Performance CX Smart system. Nothing has changed in the engine itself compared to its predecessor. The name and appearance remain the same and the newcomer has also inherited the maximum torque of 85 Newton metres from its older brother. What is new, however, is the large 750 watt-hour battery, the control unit and the setting options via app. However, although the new energy source provides around 20 per cent more range compared to the old 625 battery, it causes space problems in the down tube on many bikes. The All-Mtn models from Haibike, on the other hand, seem to be made for the thick batteries. Because The engineers placed the engine vertically in the frame triangle for the 2020 model year. This creates space in the down tube and enables a design in which the battery is pulled downwards out of the closed down tube. A positive side effect: this should increase the frame rigidity and reduce the frame weight. This is because the complete down tube allows for a lower material thickness. Too bad: The dual battery option (625 + 500 Wh), which characterised the previous Bosch models from Haibike, will not be available in 2022. This is because the old 500 Wh power pack is not compatible with the new Bosch system.
The geometry of the Haibike All Mtn CF
Haibike is trend-conscious when it comes to geometry. The steering angle is moderately slack at 64.5 degrees. A value that would also look good on an E-Enduro. At 468 millimetres for size L, the reach is in the modern average range. The long chainstays (455 millimetres) should give the bike good climbing capabilities and a smooth ride. There is a choice of frame sizes S, M, L and XL.
Models and equipment: Haibike All Mtn CF
There are four equipment variants of the new Bosch bike. Starting at 5499 euros, the top model is expected to cost 7999 euros. However, the prices have not yet been finalised and may change again before the bike goes on sale. All versions are based on the identical carbon main frame with aluminium rear triangle. The only catch: Haibike does not want to comment on availability at the moment.
