A trail bike with a step-through frame? Yes, that’s right! Haibike aim to combine the advantages of a step-through frame with the trail performance of an eMTB. The AllTrail Low generates 140/130 mm of travel and comes equipped with the new Bosch Performance Line CX motor. We’ve tested it to see if the concept holds up.

Haibike are well known and have long been established in the e-bike world. The German bike manufacturer is one of the pioneers in the e-bike segment, having not only launched the category with the eQ XDURO in 2010 but also fully committed to e-bikes since then. However, instead of going with the flow like other manufacturers, the Haibike team strives for innovative ideas. A prime example for this is their first light eMTB, the 2022 Haibike Lyke, which featured an innovative motor integration with a rotated FAZUA Ride 60 motor. Now, Haibike are pushing for the next innovation by combining a step-through e-bike with a full-fledged eMTB. The result is the new Haibike AllTrail Low: an eMTB with a relatively low step through frame, which aims to merge the benefits of an easy-access frame with the sporty feel of a thoroughbred eMTB. The Haibike AllTrail Low features 140/130 mm of travel (front/rear), smaller 27.5” wheels, and relies on the new Bosch Performance Line CX motor and 800 Wh battery. The AllTrail 10.5 variant we tested weighs 26,2 kg in size L and costs € 6,299.
The 2025 Haibike AllTrail Low in detail
At first glance, the Haibike AllTrail Low looks like a typical step-through bike. However, upon closer inspection, the chunky tires and rear shock give away its off-road focus. The latter is positioned deep within the front triangle and attached to the top tube. The seat stays merge seamlessly into the low top tube, creating a polarising look. Due to the space required by the shock, the AllTrail isn’t as low as a conventional step through bike. The aluminium frame combines a grey paint finish on the main frame and a golden finish on the swingarm. Surprisingly, there are no fenders or even a pannier rack, which is something you’d expect on a bike of this kind. However, this does not mean that you have to do without these everyday-friendly features. Because there are mounting points for fenders, as well as a model variant with even more options, more on that in a moment.
Contrary to the current trend, the cables don’t disappear into the frame through the headset but through cable ports behind the head tube. Further up on the down tube, there are mounting points for a bottle cage, ensuring you stay well-hydrated even on longer rides.
The Bosch Performance Line CX motor system of the 2025 Haibike AllTrail Low
Haibike equips the AllTrail Low with the new fifth-generation Bosch Performance Line CX motor. Like its predecessor, it delivers 85 Nm of torque and 600 watts peak power. It draws its power from a large 800 Wh battery housed in the downtube. The battery can be removed for external charging and is secured with a key. First, you’ll have to unlock the plastic cover via a twist lock, and then the battery itself with the key. If the battery remains in the bike, it can be charged through the easily accessible charging port above the motor.
The motor system is controlled via a Bosch LED Remote on the handlebars, which appears rather bulky and cannot compete with the sleeker, wireless Bosch Mini Remote. The Bosch Kiox 300 display is mounted securely behind the handlebars and provides all the key information, such as speed, battery level, and selected riding mode. It also offers a basic navigation feature with directional arrows on the display.

The spec of the 2025 Haibike AllTrail Low
We tested the Haibike AllTrail 10.5 Low top-tier version. The suspension is a mix of FOX and RockShox components, with a FOX 34 AWL fork with built-in mounting points for fenders, and a RockShox Deluxe Select Air shock, which controls 130 mm of travel at the rear. The suspension components are easy to adjust but can’t match the trail performance of their top-tier counterparts. However, they’re more than sufficient for moderate terrain.
Shifting is taken care of by a 12-speed SRAM’s NX drivetrain, which might be the entry-level model but delivers solid shifting performance. MAGURA CT eSTOP brakes do stopping duties, and are combined with a Bosch ABS system for added safety on unpaved surfaces.
The dropper post offers 150 mm of travel, making it easy to mount and dismount from the bike while at the sametime ensuring plenty of freedom of movement on the trail. To ensure a riding experience similar to a mountain bike, Haibike also opts for a traditional two-piece MTB cockpit of their own design, instead of an adjustable version. The WTB aluminium wheelset is paired with Continental Xynotal tires, which offer a good balance between grip and low rolling resistance. However, a more robust casing would be desirable for better puncture protection.

More spec variants of the 2025 Haibike AllTrail Low
The Haibike AllTrail Low is available in two configurations. alongside the top-tier AllTrail 10.5 model we tested, there’s also the AllTrail 8, which retails at € 4,999. It features a RockShox suspension of a 35 Silver fork and the same Deluxe Select Air shock as the top-tier model. Shifting is taken care of by a Shimano CUES 11-speed drivetrain, which TRP Slate T4 brakes do stopping duties. The brakes are rather rare to see around and forgo theABS system. Additionally, there’s a fully equipped version designed for less sporty off-road use, called the ADVENTR. This model relies on the same full-suspension aluminium frame as the AllTrail and is also powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX motor. The fully equipped package includes fenders, Trelock lighting, a kickstand, and an Easylife luggage rack with the MIK system, capable of carrying up to 15 kg.
The 2025 Haibike AllTrail Low on the trail
As you start riding, the low top tube makes it easy to get on and off the bike. The Haibike places you in a comfortably and upright pedalling position, which allows you to spend long days in the saddle without having to book yourself in with a chiropractor the next day. The plush suspension plays a part in this, effectively absorbing bumps and providing good traction on gravel uphill paths. The Bosch Performance Line CX motor delivers the necessary support, effortlessly shuttling you toward the summit.
When gravity takes over, the AllTrail integrates you deeply into the frame, feeling more like an eMTB than a step through bike. The high front end conveys a sense of security, and when the paths get rougher, the boosted confidence allows you to keep the brakes open. If you do need to brake suddenly, the ABS system prevents the front wheel from skidding out of control on loose and wet terrain. The Haibike AllTrail Low impresses with intuitive handling, appealing to riders of all skill levels. It follows steering input with great eagerness, while the plush suspension smooth out bumps and smaller root sections. This allows beginners to comfortably tackle moderate singletracks, while advanced riders can enjoy more technical trails. However, you’ll notice that the Haibike reaches its limits in more demanding terrain, requiring an experienced hand.
Who should take a closer look at the 2025 Haibike AllTrail Low?
The Haibike AllTrail Low is ideal for those who don’t want to give up the advantages of a traditional step through frame, like the easy access and added comfort, while still seeking a certain level of trail performance. The intuitive handling inspires confidence, regardless of whether you’re a beginner or experienced rider. However, if you’re exclusively riding trails, it’s worth considering a more performance-oriented eMTB.
Conclusions about the 2025 Haibike AllTrail Low
With the AllTrail Low, Haibike unveil an innovative concept, which successfully combines the advantages of a step through frame and the off-road capabilities of an e-mountainbike. It appeals to both beginners and advanced riders, excelling particularly on moderate terrain, but it reaches its limits on technical trails, where it requires an experienced rider – though that’s not what it’s designed for in the first place. The overall concept of the Haibike AllTrail Low is rounded off by an attractive design and consistent spec that suits the bike’s intended use.
