Haibike SD HardNine 1.5 2020 Electric Mountain Bike
A high quality entry-level eMTB for XC riding, the Haibike SDURO HardNine 1.5 is a solid machine for getting off the road and exploring those byways. With tried and tested components, it has all the gear to reliably get you where you want to go. It isn’t afraid of roads either, and should serve you well for many a fun ride around the UK woodlands.
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.
HardNine 1.0 vs 1.5 - what’s the difference?
There are two main differences between the SDURO HardNine 1.5 and 1.0 - the colour scheme and the tyres. On the 1.5 you have 29”, Schwalbe Smart Sam Active tyres that are very good intermediate range tyres for on and off-road. You may however just prefer the blue colour scheme over the grey!
Yamaha PW-SE motor and 400Wh battery
The 250W Yamaha PW-SE motor has seen millions of miles of use on e-bikes around the world. It is reliable and solid, offering up to 70Nm of torque to get you up and running at speed. The performance curve allows for a smooth start, and it will get you to the 15.5mph speed limit of the motor nice and quick.
A 400Wh battery is mounted on the lower frame for good weight distribution, and offers a comfortable range of around 40 miles. If you’re a traditional MTB rider this is a giant leap from your usual distances, taking you farther and harder than you usually ride.
The control system is simple and should have you focusing on the trail ahead rather than worrying about too many parameters as you ride.
