Haibike XDURO Nduro 3.0 2019 Mens Electric Mountain Bike
The entry level Bosch driven Haibike XDURO Nduro 3.0 Electric Enduro Bike is a machine that will get downhill at warp speed yet show you the pleasure of climbing between stages. Whether training for analogue enduro riding or for competition on the emerging electric enduro circuit, you will have a grin on your face from riding this beast.
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 NDURO
Haibike’s enduro riding MTB series of electric bikes is designed to put a grin on your face during the climbs between stages and absolutely scream down the hills and mountainsides on those stretches. For those considering getting into the emerging electric enduro competition scene, Haibike have delivered a serious player.
Who are you?
You may have been into ‘analogue enduro’ as a rider yet have seen all these e-MTB riders climb back up without a bead of sweat on their faces and a grin from the pleasure of doing it. You could be a decent eMTB rider venturing into enduro competition. You could be after a training aid or to get into the relatively new sport of e-enduro competition. You could be all these things and prefer a Bosch motor for your chosen steed.
Tech details of this e-bike
On Haibike’s legendary 6061 aluminium frame sits 180mm RockShox Yari RC front air shocks that are matched with RockShox Super Deluxe RC3 air dampers. Both have lockouts for the different terrains.
A Bosch Performance CX motor drives the rear wheel through the 11-speed Sram NX gearing system over an 11-42t cassette that will help put that uphill smile on your face. On a beefy 203mm front rotor and smaller 180mm rear rotor Magura MT5 hydraulic brakes help with speed control.
Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR II tyres sit on Rodi Tryp 35 double walled rims – the 27.5” wheels will help you bounce and roll quickly downhill. For control of the Haibike XDURO Nduro 3.0, Haibike have fitted 780mm handlebars so you can quickly manage those twists and turns on the track.
500 watt hour battery, Bosch Performance CX and Purion display.
Your 500 watt-hour battery will give you a good 50 miles of mixed terrain riding – a lot more if you put more into the pedals and ask less of the motor! Batteries are easily swapped out using a special key so for a big day in the saddle you might want to carry another. They can be charged in just 2 hours using the supplied fast charger.
The 250W Bosch ePerformance CX is built with the trails in mind. It gives a little extra power at lower cadences for when you need that extra kick to get up to speed, while cutting out briefly during a gear change to protect the chain as you need to kick a little harder on those climbs. With a peak output of 75Nm of torque (up to 300% the wattage you put into the pedals) you can really shift when you need to, too!
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!
