Haibike Nduro 8 Freeride Review

Even angriest ramps the Yamaha motor easily climbs up well. The Yamaha PW-X3 provides a natural riding experience with a progressive power delivery. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the Nduro 8 Freeride are no problem.

The good Öhlins chassis absorbs even larger roots with the calmness of a Buddhist monk. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. At the rear, the steel spring shock absorber provides maximum sensitivity. At the brakes, Haibike instals upper class brakes with four pistons and large brake rotors from Magura. For an Enduro , the Schwalbe tires with a width of #reifen_inch_breite inches are relatively narrow. In our opinion, Haibike could have put on wider tires. Taking a holistic approach also includes looking at the gearing and components. The components are of good qualtiy and offer no reason for criticism here. If you like to turn up the gas on the singletrail, you will appreciate the smooth character. The bottom bracket is high, which costs handling points. This tends to make the rider stand on the bike. On other EMTBs it feels better integrated. Also, weight is an important factor when it comes to EMTB. The Nduro 8 Freeride isn't exactly shining in this regard. There are lighter Enduros on the market.
