Haibike SDURO Cross 6.0 2019 Mens Electric Bike
The midrange Yamaha powered Haibike SDURO Cross bike, the Haibike SDURO Cross 6.0 Mens Electric Cyclocross Bike is great for mixed road and off-road riding. Ideal for cyclocross training, mixed terrain commuting and for the sheer fun of getting out in the hills.
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’s this for?
While ideal for the cyclocross enthusiast who wants a low impact training machine, this is great for people who may do longer stretches of road while exploring the countryside cross-country thanks to its slimmer tyres that allow a higher average speed on road compared to MTB. You may be a commuter who enjoys the odd cross country ride or section on their route – this is as comfortable on forest track as it is on metalled city streets
More detail
The Yamaha drive system is what makes this machine special. Unlike Bosch it has two front gears and a smaller rear cassette that allow for a combined 20 different ratios to choose from as you ride. – Bosch is limited to 11 on their top models through the Shimano Deore XT gearing system. Stopping power is delivered by Shimano MT400 hydraulic disc brakes on 160mm rotors.
The Haibike SDURO Cross 6.0 Mens electric cross bike has low profile, Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres that are grippy on looser, wetter terrains while having a much lower rolling resistance on road and thus permitting higher average speeds on road. On larger, 28 inch wheels it makes for a smoother ride as well, amply supported by 63mm travel SR Suntour NCX D-LO front shocks with a lockout for different terrains.
As a machine this is a great all rounder that will fear no hill or mountainside on your journey on or off-road!
500Wh battery, Yamaha PW-SE motor and Side Switch display
This bike comes with a Yamaha 500 watt hour battery that is ample for longer length rides where you’re not embarrassed to ask for the odd push of full power as you get about. Rechargeable in just a few hours, you can plug it in in the evening and have a full battery for your next day in the saddle.
The Yamaha PW-SE is a development on the tried and tested Yamaha PW motor and delivers just the power you need where and when you need it. Economical yet delivering just the right amount of power when you need it, this power system is perfect for road and trail alike.
The Yamaha Side Switch display is an LCD screen that shows all your parameters in one place so with just a quick glance you can see just what you want, be it battery life, power setting, speed or distance travelled. You control the power output of the motor with a flick of a switch from your right thumb.
