Haibike SD HardNine 8.0 2020 Electric Mountain Bike
Packing a real punch when you need it, the SDURO HardNine 8.0 has all the gear for you to go where you want when you want. Whether its 12 speed Sram SX Eagle drivetrain or its Bosch 500Wh in-tube battery giving you as much range as you can handle in a day’s riding, you’ll find few ridgeways or mountains too daunting for a ride.
HardNine vs HardSeven
The SDURO HardNine series is for those who like to travel distances and won’t hit too many sharp turns/dodge too many tree limbs as you go along. As far as e-bikes go, the HardNine definitely prefers the hills to the trails!
The HardSeven with its all-rounder 27.5 inch wheels, while built for XC will handle the sharper turns of forest tracks a little better.
All the specs you need for an XC machine
12 speed Sram Eagle drive train on an 11-50t rear sprocket? Yup. 120mm travel RockShox 35 Gold R air shocks upfront? Yup. Shimano MT400 disc brakes with 203mm rotor at the front and 180mm at the rear? All this makes for a machine that packs a real push as you chew up the miles on your favourite and soon-to-be favourite routes.
Add in the Schwalbe Nobby Nic Evo SnakeSkin tyres that absolutely love the dirt and muck and you have a machine that is ideal for decent XC riding, no matter where you wish to explore.
The in-tube 500Wh battery should give you 50 miles of mixed riding and find you feeling relaxed but not knackered even after five hours riding.
Bosch Performance CX
Updated for 2020, the Bosch Performance CX gives a real kick when asked for yet can read your riding so it doesn’t spin out when pulling away. Torque is where this is at, pulling at up to 75Nm, and delivering a performance curve that allows for blistering acceleration when you need or just helping you up those hills as you let the machine take the strain.
A 500Wh in-tube battery is just where the weight is needed, yet also can give you 50 miles of mixed riding – more than enough for a day in the saddle!
The Bosch Purion controller/display will show you just the parameters you need, including speed and estimated battery distance.
