Haibike AllTrack 6.5 review

Where the AllTrack 6.5 fits

The clearest match is riders tackling forest roads, cross-country trails and mixed leisure routes who want a strong Bosch drive without paying for rear suspension. 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 Bosch Performance Line CX mid-drive motor, 85 Nm, assistance to 25 km/h.. The controls are described as Bosch Purion 200..

The latest Bosch Performance Line CX is the headline component, applying assistance through the drivetrain for effective climbing. Evans does not publish the exact torque or software state, and Bosch system capability can change with approved updates, so the current delivered configuration should be confirmed.

A hardtail places fewer chassis demands between rider and motor, making traction and gear choice especially important on broken climbs. The CX system is substantially more capable than budget rear hubs, but it cannot create rear-wheel grip where the tyre and rider technique do not provide it.

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 Bosch PowerTube 600 Wh battery.. No numerical range is stated in the accessible listing; route, rider, weather and assistance level materially affect distance

The 600Wh battery is smaller than the 720Wh AllMtn 3 and 800Wh AllMtn 4 packs, trading ultimate duration for a potentially leaner, lower-cost package. An optional range extender allows capacity to be added for longer objectives.

There is no responsible single-mileage estimate for an off-road Bosch bike. Surface, vertical gain, tyre pressure, temperature, mode and rider contribution can produce radically different results from the same 600Wh.

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 hardtail frame.. Fork and suspension details are SR Suntour XCM34 Boost NLO DS fork, 120 mm; hardtail frame.. The tyres are Schwalbe Nobby Nic Performance ADDIX 65-584 tyres..

A 120mm SR Suntour fork gives front-wheel control on roots, ruts and trail chatter, while the rigid rear preserves pedalling response and simpler maintenance. It will also transmit more impacts and lose composure sooner than the full-suspension AllMtn bikes on fast, rough descents.

Evans describes reliable Shimano components but does not list the complete build. A current buyer's guide identifies CUES eleven-speed gearing and hydraulic brakes on this version, yet the exact Evans stock should still be checked before relying on that secondary source.

Brakes, transmission and everyday equipment

The bike uses Shimano Deore MT410 two-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors front and rear.. Transmission is Shimano CUES U6000 11-speed rear derailleur and shifter with Shimano LG500 chain.. Evans does not provide a complete equipment list in the accessible listing.

Hardtails generally reduce pivot and shock servicing, making the AllTrack attractive for year-round off-road use. It remains a mountain bike without stated rack, mudguard or lighting equipment, so road commuting would require compatible additions.

The optional extender is useful only if availability, mounting and cost work for the intended route. Buyers should also confirm battery removal, frame sizing, dropper-post provision and total weight, none of which is clear in the captured Evans copy.

What the published evidence tells us

Evans listed this build at £2,349 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.

Evans, Bosch's official system listing and current specialist guides agree on the Bosch/600Wh/120mm concept. The detailed guides are buyer-oriented secondary sources, not independent laboratory or long-term ride tests.

No high-quality exact-model trail test was found, so broad claims of stability or reliability have not been treated as verified consensus. The assessment focuses on the clear hardtail-versus-full-suspension trade-off.

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: High-performance Bosch CX mid-drive
• Advantage: Simpler hardtail maintenance
• Advantage: Useful 120mm fork
• Advantage: Range-extender compatibility
• Disadvantage: Less control and comfort on rough descents than full suspension
• Disadvantage: Smaller main battery than AllMtn models
• Disadvantage: Sparse exact build information at Evans
• Disadvantage: No rigorous independent exact-model test

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 credible value gateway to full-power eMTB riding, especially for smoother trails and riders who prefer hardtail simplicity, subject to confirming the exact component build.
