While the SDURO bikes with the all-new Yamaha motors may have rightly stolen the show at this year’s Haibike 2017 product presentation, the XDURO bikes with their Bosch motors commanded an equal amount of attention. An impressive presence with some notable updates, we’ve checked out the most important models and compiled a run-through of the changes.

Unlike the all-new Yamaha PW-X motors, the Bosch motors on the XDURO range have remain largely unchanged, apart from their display. Here’s where the main revisions can be found in the geometry, spec and wheel size. Virtually all of the XDURO models have turned longer and slacker, received new forks, brakes and cockpits that render them better on the trails as well as undergone the step up to plus-size tires. Aside from the XDURO NDURO model, which has undergone the least evolution since its 2016 model, we’re stoked to see how the entire Haibike line-up has kept firmly up-to-date, well and truly modernizing the models and tackling some of the criticisms that we expressed about earlier bikes.

Haibike XDURO AllMtn 2017

With 150 mm travel, plus-size tires and its role as the most versatile bike of the current line-up, the XDURO AllMtn is the bike that’ll turn its hand to virtually anything.

Set to be the show-stealer of the current XDURO range, the Haibike XDURO AllMtn now rolls on wide plus-size tires, a feature that Haibike are adopting across most of their collection. This 150 mm E-MTB will exclusively come with 2.8″ Nobby Nics. Its geometry has received the requisite trial-primed overhaul too, making it much more modern with a 67° head angle (1° slacker) and an 18 mm longer reach that now measures 432 mm for the large frame –the same measurement as the XL from last year. But while these revisions sound drastic, they’re more marginal than those applied to the SDURO AllMtn with the Yamaha motor, whose geometry is even more speed-proof.

Wide rims and 2.8

Retailing at € 6,499, it’s easy to see where your money is going on the XDURO AllMtn 8.0. You’ve got MAGURA’s new Boltron forks, the SRAM EX1 groupset, MAGURA MT 7 brakes and lovely DT Swiss XM 1501 wheels. And even dropping down a price bracket, there’s little room for desire when it comes to the XDURO AllMtn 7.0 that retails at € 4,699, offering a well considered spec with a RockShox Yari RC fork, Monarch RT3 rear shock and a mix of Shimano XT and SLX parts. Anchoring comes courtesy of the reliable MAGURA MT5 at the front and MT4 brakes at the rear. Then there’s the XDURO AllMtn 6.0 for € 3,999, which features SR Suntour suspension and the SRAM NX groupset.

The top-of-the-range XDURO AllMtn 8.0 boasts the latest MAGURA Boltron upside-down forks, which have been specially designed for E-MTBs.
