Haibike Trekking 5

The 2024 Trekking 5 from Haibike is a versatile e-bike that stands out for its high-quality components and well-thought-out features. Priced at 3,799 EUR, it offers a solid balance of performance and comfort, making it ideal for longer rides and everyday use.

The Trekking 5’s frame is made from robust aluminium and is fitted with an M12 (1.00) x 148 mm thru-axle and a post-mount disc brake. The bike’s maximum load capacity is 130 kg, making it a stable choice for a wide range of riders.

Braking performance is provided by Shimano MT410 brakes with 180mm discs and Shimano MT402 brake levers, both made from aluminium to ensure reliable and precise braking power. Gear changes are handled by a SRAM NX 11-speed system with trigger shifters, which offers a wide gear range of 11–42 teeth and is therefore suitable for a variety of riding conditions.

The SR Suntour Mobie 25 LOR Lockout fork, with a steel spring and 100mm of travel, ensures a comfortable ride on uneven terrain. The aluminium steerer tube is tapered (1 1/8 – 1 1/2'') and the fork is fitted with a 15 x 100 mm thru-axle.

The lighting system comprises a Herrmans H-Black MR4 E front light with 40 lux and a Spanninga Aerline 2.0 Brake rear light, both powered by the system battery. This ensures good visibility and safety in the dark.

Other features include VP VPE-461 pedals, a steel crankset with 38 teeth, a SRAM PG1130 cassette, 720mm-wide Ergoriser handlebars, Ergo grips and an adjustable XLC A-Head stem. The headset also features the A-Head Tapered design.

The wheels feature Schürmann Yak25 aluminium rims, combined with Arisun Mount Cameron tyres (58-584) and Sapim Leader spokes. The front and rear hubs are made of aluminium.

Comfort is enhanced by the Selle Royal Essenza saddle and an aluminium patented seatpost (34.9 mm). Curana Apollo 70 aluminium mudguards, an adjustable Ursus Mooi kickstand and a luggage rack with the MIK system round off the specification.

The Trekking 5 is powered by a Yamaha PW-S2 motor with an output of 250W and a torque of 75Nm, which provides assistance up to a speed of 25 km/h. The InTube battery has a capacity of 720 Wh and is charged using a 4A Yamaha fast charger. The Yamaha Side Switch display allows for easy control of the electric assistance.

In summary, the 2024 Haibike Trekking 5 offers a well-thought-out combination of robust materials, high-performance components and comfortable features, making it an excellent choice for trekking enthusiasts.
