Haibike SDURO Cross 1.0 2019 Ladies Electric Bike
Whether using this machine for low impact cyclocross training or just as a nippy electric bike that likes road and track alike, the Haibike SDURO Cross 1.0 Women’s Electric Cross Bike is just the thing for you. With its narrow yet knobbly tyres for low rolling resistance more energy from your legs and the motor will come out as speed on the road and less as heat in the tyres…
SDURO vs XDURO
In recent years Haibike have decided to make it easy for the rider to choose between its lines of electric bikes. The XDURO series is for people who take riding seriously and won’t want to be left out in the rankings. Meanwhile the SDURO series is for those who may still be fit as a fiddle but are more weekend mud warriors than people who eat, sleep and breathe riding.
Haibike Cross series
Haibike have made what may be termed a ‘serious hybrid’ in the Cross series for enjoyable riding on road yet can chew up the countryside on legs between the road – a cyclocross bike in short. This can make it a good commuter, or a machine that you can take on family rides with to keep up with the youngsters!
Who are you?
Are you looking for a cyclocross training machine that does a bit more than a static bike? Or are you after a fast commuter machine that will help you get to work quickly yet without breaking a sweat? You may be into cross country riding with longer road sections and lighter tracks – there are many other excuses to reach for this machine too!
More detail on the Cross 1.0
With its knobbly Schwalbe Smart Sam, low profile tyres this is a bike that is nice and quick on the road yet will handle forest and farm tracks nicely. With the Bosch Active Line motor the 8-speed Shimano Acera M360 drivetrain will flatten out most hills as you explore the world outside of town, yet can really motor on the mean city streets.
Stopping and speed control on the SDURO Cross 1.0 Women’s electric cyclocross bike is achieved with Tektro T275 disc brakes on bigger 180mm front rotor and a smaller 160mm rotor at the rear.
For ironing out those lumps and bumps on road and track alike, this has 60mm travel SR Suntour NEX E25-LO with a lockout for different terrains.
Bosch Active Line Plus motor, 400Wh battery and Purion display
Taking up to 1,000 measurements a second from your pedalling, this 250 watt motor gives back just as much power when you need it. Light yet agile, it gives great torque in a smooth yet controlled manner. The Bosch Active Line Plus also pauses briefly as you change gear so your drivetrain isn’t overly stressed. Topping out at 25km/h it provides all the kick you need in normal riding.
This is controlled through the Bosch Purion control system. This gives a range of data to you the rider, from estimated battery on a given power setting to distance left on that setting, as well as speed and distance covered. It really is all you need for a fun day out in the hills! With power just a click of the left thumb and the other data available with an easy to use thumb-joystick you can focus on riding not faffing about with the system!
The hot-swappable 400 watt-hour battery will serve you well over 30-40 miles of mixed riding – more if you stay in Eco setting or switch it off! Chargeable in just 2 hours, it is easily switched with another one should you feel the need to go farther.
