Haibike SDURO FullLife 6.0 2018 Ladies Electric Mountain Bike
Built from the ground up as a women’s dual suspension e-MTB, the Haibike SDURO FullLife 6.0 2018 Ladies electric mountain bike has the best geometry for a lady MTB rider, and can be used on a range of routes from single track to downhill and cross country. For someone who takes mountain biking seriously enough to spend a few quid on an electric mountain bike yet doesn’t want to super-specialise.
Shocks with presets
You can change the settings on your RockShox Recon RL front forks with the flick of a switch from the handlebars having tuned the presets according to your weight in advance. This means that after a downhill stretch and moving onto a big climb you can stiffen your forks and improve the efficiency of your climbing without even stopping at the bottom. The front shocks are complemented by the RockShox Monarch RT rear shock that also has 120mm of travel.
The drivetrain has two rings at the front and 10 on the rear cassette (11-36t) that allows for a wide choice of ratios as you ascend and descend. This runs through the Shimano Deore M6000 Shadow 10 speed mech and controlled by a Shimano Deore M6000 20 Speed Trigger on the handlebars.
Speed control is achieved with a big, 203mm rotor on the front and a 180mm rotor at the rear, through Magura MT32 hydraulic disc brakes that have twin pistons on the front and one on the rear. Low maintenance yet hardwearing this system will leave you more time for riding and less working on the bike.
Even with all these great features the SDURO FullLife 6.0 only weighs in at just over 22kg – a lightweight for an electric mountain bike of this quality.
Yamaha PW-SE electric motor
This 250 Watt crank motor can give up to 280% of the power you put into the pedals, and with up to 70Nm of torque you can race off from a standing start with just a quick kick to the pedal. There are four modes of assistance ranging from Eco+ to High mode that you can use according to your needs.
The energy comes from the 400 Watt hour frame mounted battery that will realistically give you 60-80 or so miles on a typical ride. The Yamaha LCD display has a range of parameters that include a battery meter and projected range at the current setting
