Moderate touring bike: Haibike Sduro Hardseven 6.0

The powerful Bosch motor achieves an impressive reach and makes the Hardseven 6.0 an enduring touring ace. However, the bike is only partially comfortable on demanding terrain. The stem is long and the steering angle steep, which leads to nervous riding behaviour. The 27.5-inch wheels also offer less safety than larger 29ers. The narrow tyres also offer only moderate grip, which is just as noticeable on steep ramps on loose ground as it is on demanding descents and fast corners. At least the wide handlebars provide control, the Magura brakes are powerful and the Suntour fork works reliably. The rest of the equipment is also well chosen, only the remote control for the fork lockout seems superfluous on the E-MTB.

Conclusion: Moderate tourer with solid equipment and a comfortable riding position. However, the Haibike quickly runs out of steam on more demanding terrain.
