The Haibike Xduro FullCarbon electric bike features the carbon fiber construction and mid-engine layout more closely associated with supercars rather than bikes.
The latest Haibike Xduro offering, the FullCarbon has a carbon fiber build that doesn't merely extend to the frame but also to auxiliary components such as the wheels, seat posts and cranks. It is equipped with a Bosch Performance pedelec drive unit electrified by a 400 watt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.
This electric bike has a RockShox fork and rear shock, Shimano XTR 11-speed drivetrain parts and the much-hyped Nyon computer from Bosch. This computer combines e-bike information, navigation and fitness-monitoring features into a 4.3-inch display. It can pair wirelessly with a smartphone and connect to Bosch's online portal. It can even send SMS messages from the phone to the bicycle's screen.
