Haibike are heavily invested in the embt market and these new carbon fibre frames in the xduro range are certain game changers for the electric mountain bike market. ‘Affordable’ for a quality Carbon Fibre bicycle frame, this weight saving gives the carbon bikes an extended average range of up to 100 miles which is 30% more than any 2015 embt.
