The 5 Best Haibike MTB
Haibike offers it all: carbon enduro bikes with 170 mm of travel, lightweight trail bikes equipped with Fazua, and sturdy hardtails for those who prefer simplicity. The most expensive option is almost never the best choice—it all depends on where and how you ride. I haven’t ranked these five bikes by price, but by rider profile: from the bike park enthusiast to the recreational rider who crisscrosses forest trails and gravel paths. For most riders, the most logical choice falls somewhere in the middle. Want to learn more? Read on.
Key points
- Haibike is clearly divided into two families: the full-power models with a Bosch CX motor (800 Wh) and the lighter models with a Fazua Ride 60 (480 Wh), which offer a more natural riding experience.
- The ALLTRAIL 6 is the most sensible choice for most cyclists: Bosch CX, 800 Wh, full suspension, and 4-piston brakes—all without the extra cost of high-end carbon models.
- On trails in Belgium and the Netherlands, the heaviest enduro bikes, such as the HYBE CF 11, are often oversized: their weight and complexity increase without the terrain justifying it.

The Five Models Compared
| Model | Type | Engine | Battery | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HYBE CF 11 | Carbon Enduro | Bosch CX | 800 Wh | Technical terrain, Alps |
| ALLTRAIL 10.5 ABS | All-mountain | Bosch CX | 800 Wh | Safety, long rides |
| ALLTRAIL 6 | Full-suspension trail bike | Bosch CX | 800 Wh | Versatile, best value for the money |
| LYKE CF 11 | Light trail | Fazua Ride 60 | 480 Wh | Dynamic, active driving |
| ALLTRACK 11 ABS | Hardtail | Bosch CX | 800 Wh | Recreational, low-maintenance |
HYBE CF 11: The Enduro Monster
The HYBE CF 11 is built for serious riding. It features a carbon frame, 170 mm of front travel and 160 mm of rear travel, a Bosch CX with an 800 Wh battery, and top-of-the-line SRAM/RockShox components. On technical trails, in bike parks, and on steep descents, this bike gives you the confidence to ride where you’d normally hesitate to brake.
Let’s be honest: for the vast majority of trails in Belgium, this bike is overkill. All that suspension travel and braking power require elevation changes and speeds that are rarely found here. On flat terrain, it feels heavy and sluggish rather than responsive. This bike is designed for riders who regularly ride in the Ardennes, the Alps, or a real bike park, and who truly make the most of its performance.
When buying a refurbished carbon enduro bike, you need to be careful: the frame deserves a thorough inspection, and the high-end suspension requires a maintenance history. You’re getting a lot of bike for less money, but it’s essential to have the technical aspects checked.
ALLTRAIL 10.5 ABS & ALLTRAIL 6: The All-Rounders
This is the heart of the lineup. The ALLTRAIL 10.5 ABS combines the Bosch CX and 800 Wh with Bosch eBike ABS, a system that adjusts braking pressure as soon as the front wheel threatens to lock up, thereby preventing skids or falls over the handlebars. For those who often ride on varied and slippery terrain, this isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a real safety feature.
The ALLTRAIL 6 is the bike I’d recommend to most people. In my opinion, it’s the most sensible Haibike: it has the same powerful Bosch CX motor, the same 800 Wh battery, full suspension, and 4-piston brakes—without the price jump of the carbon models. For Belgian trails and vacation use, it strikes the perfect balance. You’re giving up premium suspension, but not performance.
Both are powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX, Bosch's most powerful mid-drive motor, featuring an eMTB mode that automatically adjusts the assistance level based on your effort. To learn more about this system, check out our guide on the lifespan of the Bosch Performance Line CX motor.
LYKE CF 11: The Featherweight
The LYKE CF 11 is a whole different beast. Instead of the powerful Bosch CX, it’s equipped with a Fazua Ride 60 and a 480 Wh battery. Less power, less range—but that’s exactly the point. The LYKE is lighter, more responsive, and feels more natural. It rides more like a bike that gives you a little boost than a motor that propels you forward.
For the active mountain biker who wants to keep pedaling for real and hates the heavy feel of aMTB , this is the most appealing choice of the five. The reasoning is simple: if you want maximum assistance and a long range, choose Bosch; if you want a responsive bike that’s closer to MTB , the LYKE is the obvious choice. Be aware, however, of the smaller battery: on long rides with a lot of assistance, you’ll reach the limit sooner.
Hardtail and refurbished What You Need to Know
The ALLTRACK 11 ABS rounds out the hardtail lineup. The lack of rear suspension means less comfort on rough terrain, but also less maintenance, no pivot bearings that lose play, and a more direct feel. With the Bosch CX, 800 Wh battery, and ABS, it’s the logical choice for recreational off-road riding, forest trails, and commutes with unpaved sections.
MTB faster than traditional e-bikes: the motor torque takes a toll on the chain, cassette, and brakes. A refurbished Haibike refurbished appealing because it gives you access to expensive technology within your budget—but you need to inspect it thoroughly. At Upway, every bike undergoes a thorough inspection process, but you should also check these points yourself:
- Battery and motor: Check the remaining capacity and error codes; the Bosch CX and the Fazua Ride 60 behave very differently.
- Frame: Check the carbon fiber for any damage, and the aluminum for cracks around the welds.
- Pivot bearings and suspension: Full-suspension bikes develop play due to mud and water; the maintenance history of the fork and shock is invaluable.
- Drivetrain and brakes: The chain, cassette, and brake pads wear out quickly under the torque of an electric bike.
- Dropper post and display: The adjustable seatpost must lower and raise smoothly, and the Smart System must engage without any issues.
Helpful Tip
Before buying arefurbishedMTB , always ask to have the battery tested using a Bosch or Fazua tool. A battery health report will help you avoid unpleasant surprises. And to help you choose between the two systems, our article comparing Bosch and Yamaha motors will provide valuable guidance.
FAQ
What is the best Haibike MTB ?
In terms of pure performance, the HYBE CF 11 is the most impressive, but for most buyers, the ALLTRAIL 6 makes more sense: it has the same Bosch CX motor and the same 800 Wh battery, full suspension, and a much more reasonable price. Check out our selection of refurbished Haibike e-MTBs available at Upway.
Which Haibike model has the largest battery?
The full-power models with Bosch CX—HYBE, ALLTRAIL, and ALLTRACK—are equipped with an 800 Wh battery. The lightest model, the LYKE CF 11 with Fazua Ride 60, has a 480 Wh battery.
Is Bosch better than Fazua?
Not better, just different. The Bosch CX is more powerful and offers longer range; the Fazua Ride 60 is lighter and provides a more natural feel. The choice depends on whether you prefer maximum assistance or a responsive bike. Our article comparing Bafang and Bosch mid-drive motors will help you make an informed decision.
Is ABS really useful on anMTB
For many cyclists, yes—especially on wet, steep, or slippery terrain. The system adjusts braking pressure as soon as the front wheel threatens to lock up, preventing skids and accidents. Not all competitive cyclists want it because of the extra weight, but in terms of safety, it’s a real added benefit.
Is a Haibike hardtail worth it?
Definitely, for recreational off-road riding and those who want low-maintenance bikes. A hardtail like the ALLTRACK 11 ABS doesn't have rear suspension, but it also doesn't have pivot bearings, and it offers a more direct feel on smooth terrain. Browse our selection of MTB to find the model that's right for you.
