Haibike SD HardNine 1.0 2020 Electric Mountain Bike
The entry level machine for Haibike’s 29er hardtail eMTB range, the SDURO HardNine 1.0 is a great eMTB for trail, track and road. Just because this is an entry level machine doesn’t mean it lacks the components that will get you around the countryside - including a Shimano Altus drivetrain and Tektro disc brakes.
29ers are hardcore XC machines that chew up the XC tracks and trails with their racing bike-sized wheels. This isn’t to say that they are poor road bikes but just poorer at faster turns on downhill runs than their smaller-wheeled cousins. The Haibike SDURO HardNine 1.0 is noticeably better when you get off-road on XC trails than the smaller wheeled machines, bounding over the rough spots.
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.

More detail…
29 inch, XLC MountainX tyres are great for gripping the loose stuff as they are on hard surfaces. These are complemented with 100mm travel, SR Suntour XCM DS forks that will further soften the lumps and bumps.
A 9-speed Shimano Altus M2000 drivetrain that runs over an 11-36t cassette is ample for those hills, even while using the battery economically. Stopping power comes from Tektro M275 disc brakes on 180mm rotors.
The Yamaha 400Wh Li-ion battery will serve you well on rides of 40-50 miles. Soon after riding an eMTB for the first time if you’re used to traditional MTB XC riding you may well find that your fitness means that a 40 mile ride - double your traditional average - is possible on a regular basis.
