The Hai impact surprises with a colourful, high-quality look. Only 1599 euros? It's hard to believe when you see the bike for the first time. In addition to the appealing design, you'll discover some illustrious names in the equipment - which makes you doubt the price tag even more. The Rock Shox Reba SL fork and Fox shock do a great job, the shifting and braking components are appropriate for the price range, and the Mavic system wheels look great too. On the test ride, the handling is very good, it looks mature and sporty (long riding position), the fork lockout on the handlebars fits this character. Uphill, the Hai Impact is the fastest bike in the test group, but downhill it feels rather nervous, the travel seems limited and the rear end has less travel than the fork.
ConclusionThe Hai Impact offers a lot of bike for the money. More of a comfortable marathon bike than an all-mountain.
