How it compares
180 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 180 mm median of the 5 bikes in the “e-freeride bike” category in our database. Front and rear both work with 180 mm of travel. Among Haibike’s e-mountain bikes, the Haibike Nduro is the model with the most fork travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
At €5,999 for the 6 build, pricing is typical for the category (median €6,000). For the 8 Freeride build, Haibike asks €7,499. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX and RockShox. In total, 3 different forks are used, from the RockShox Domain R Stealth to the RockShox ZEB Ultimate Charger 3.1 RC2. Drive comes from Yamaha PW-X3, paired with 720 Wh of battery capacity. Haibike gives a maximum system weight of 120 kg for bike, rider and luggage combined.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Domain R Stealth): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- 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.
- Shock (RockShox Vivid Ultimate): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Haibike Nduro
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Haibike gives its own target SAG, use that.
180 mm fork, 75.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 31 mm | 24 % = 18.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 36 mm | 28 % = 21.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 40 mm | 30 % = 22.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 36 mm | 27 % = 20.2 mm on the shock shaft |
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: Continental Argotal, Trail Endurance, foldable skin SL, 60-622; Schwalbe Magic Mary, Super Trail, ADDIX Ultra Soft, 50EPI, 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 and shock
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) 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.
