How it compares
With 140 mm of fork travel, the Haibike Lyke is on the shorter side; the median of the 101 comparable bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category is 150 mm. Within Haibike’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Haibike AllTrack and the Haibike AllMtn on travel. The frame is made of carbon.
With a starting price of €6,999 (CF 10), the Haibike Lyke is above the category median (€5,500). For the CF SE build, Haibike asks €13,000. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Lyrik Select Charger RC to the RockShox Pike Ultimate Flight Attendant. It is powered by Fazua Ride60 with a 480 Wh battery. Haibike gives a maximum system weight of 120 kg for bike, rider and luggage combined.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Lyrik Select Charger RC): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: on FOX and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
- Hardtail: without rear suspension, rear tyre pressure largely decides comfort and traction – it is worth testing in 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) steps.
Target SAG for the Haibike Lyke
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Haibike gives its own target SAG, use that.
140 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 24 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 28 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 31 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 28 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.60″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Maxxis Disscector 3C MaxxTerra/EXO/TR, 61-622; Maxxis Dissector, 3C MaxxSpeed, EXO, TR, 62-622; Schwalbe Wicked Will, Super Ground, TLE, ADDIX Speedgrip, 62-622.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
