Haibike AllMtn 3 review

Where the AllMtn 3 fits

The clearest match is trail riders wanting a capable full-power all-mountain bike for technical climbs, rough descents and long off-road loops without premium electronic components. This review is based on the Evans specification, manufacturer information and clearly identified independent coverage; it is not presented as a RideIn hands-on test.

Motor, controls and UK legality

Evans lists Yamaha PW-X3 mid-drive motor; 250 W, 85 Nm, assistance to 25 km/h.. The controls are described as Yamaha A2 display..

Yamaha's PW-X3 is quoted at 85Nm and up to 360% assistance, controlled through four ride modes. Its compact mid-drive layout lets motor output work through the 10–51-tooth cassette, which is far more effective on steep technical climbs than the hub systems in the budget bikes above.

Independent PW-X3 testing praises its strong specification, low mass for the category and useful remote, while noting that the display is not especially information-rich. Motor behaviour still depends on software tuning and cadence, so those system-level findings should not be mistaken for an exact-bike ride test.

For use as an electrically assisted pedal cycle in Great Britain, the maximum continuous rated motor power must not exceed 250W, assistance must cut out by 15.5mph and the pedals must be able to propel the bike. Check the label and delivered configuration rather than relying on a category name.

Battery, charging and realistic range

The listed battery is Yamaha InTube 720 Wh battery.. No numerical range is stated in the accessible listing; route, rider, weather and assistance level materially affect distance

The 720Wh pack can be charged in the frame or removed, providing substantial capacity without reaching the bulk of the latest 800Wh systems. No defensible exact range is given because elevation, trail surface, rider output and mode selection dominate eMTB consumption.

For repeated climbing, 720Wh is a meaningful advantage over light-assist eMTBs, while removability helps winter storage and workshop handling. The AllMtn 4's 800Wh Bosch package offers more nominal energy, so system preference and price should guide the choice.

Use only the approved compatible charger, charge away from escape routes and stop using a battery that is damaged, swollen, leaking or unusually hot. Ask for the replacement-pack price and warranty conditions before the original battery becomes a problem.

Frame, fit and ride character

The frame specification is Aluminium full-suspension frame with post-mount disc interface.. Fork and suspension details are RockShox 35 Gold RL DebonAir fork, 160 mm; 160 mm rear travel (exact rear-shock model not stated in the indexed official specification).. The tyres are Continental Kryptotal-Fr Trail Endurance 60-622 front tyre; Haibike describes a mixed 29/27.5-inch Kryptotal setup but does not separately state the exact rear casing/size in the indexed specification..

RockShox 35 Gold suspension with 160mm travel front and rear, a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel create an all-mountain brief: rollover and steering confidence up front, traction and manoeuvrability behind. A dropper post supports the transition between climbing and descending.

Shimano Deore twelve-speed gearing, MT420 four-piston brakes and aggressive Maxxis or Continental tyre options are credible trail components. Exact tyre fit may vary, as Evans lists alternative equipment, so the delivered bike should be inspected rather than assumed from one image.

Brakes, transmission and everyday equipment

The bike uses Shimano Deore MT420 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 mm rotors front and rear.. Transmission is Shimano Deore M6100 12-speed drivetrain with SL-M6100-R trigger, CN-M6100 chain and Deore rear derailleur.. Evans does not provide a complete equipment list in the accessible listing.

This is a sports eMTB with no commuting equipment, and its 160mm chassis will be inefficient overkill for road-only use. Buyers should budget for suspension servicing, drivetrain wear and suitable transport equipment for a full-power bike.

The removable battery and established Yamaha/Shimano parts make ownership more manageable, but frame-size-specific dropper travel and final tyre specification should be confirmed. A trail-centre test ride is much more informative than a car-park fit alone.

What the published evidence tells us

Evans listed this build at £3,529 when RideIn checked it on 29 August 2026. Prices can differ by colour or size, and stock can change; a discount against a reference price does not by itself establish value.

Haibike and Evans document the model specification, while independent testing provides useful evidence on the Yamaha PW-X3 system. A current, rigorous full review of this exact AllMtn 3 build was not located.

Broader Haibike all-mountain reviews commonly emphasise planted stability and climbing capability, but different frames, motors and suspension packages prevent those themes being presented as exact findings here.

Advantages and disadvantages

The useful comparison is whether the complete build suits the regular route, storage and service plan. A premium motor cannot compensate for poor fit, while a modest component can be entirely sensible on the right type of bike.

• Advantage: Strong 85Nm Yamaha mid-drive
• Advantage: Large removable 720Wh battery
• Advantage: 160mm full suspension and mixed wheels
• Advantage: Wide-range Deore drivetrain and four-piston brakes
• Disadvantage: No exact-model independent long-term test
• Disadvantage: Display is relatively basic
• Disadvantage: High ongoing trail-component maintenance
• Disadvantage: Possible tyre substitutions need checking

Buying checks and RideIn verdict

Confirm the exact product code, frame size, colour, battery capacity, assistance configuration and included equipment before paying. Ask which Evans branch or authorised dealer will handle electrical diagnosis, warranty labour and replacement components, then test the brakes, controls and fit before committing to regular use.

A properly specified all-mountain eMTB with a strong value-oriented mechanical build; it makes most sense for riders who will use its travel and climbing system regularly.
