Thoughts on this bike? (Haibike Allmtn 1 2021)

Hi guys,
Any experiences with the Haibike Allmtn 1?

I'm planning to get one soon, but the fact that the shop still has it in stock from last year made me wonder a bit.

Ugly. Heavy. Terrible geometry. Poor suspension, terrible tyres and basic wheels and finishing components.
Drivetrain is decent and the tektro brakes are actually fairly decent too.
Personally I'd rather ride a cheap electric scooter

Don't ask. You don't get!

And you did ask.

Thanks!
I suspected about the suspension, but what is it about the geometry that makes it terrible?

 

[Gary]

It's not absolutely terrible. Just a bit short. bit steep and a bit high (for a modern Long travel mullet).. chainstays are a little on the long side too for a 27.5rear wheel but you might like that for added traction if climbing is your thing.

If you can stretch to it I'd look at bikes at around a grand more for slightly wider choice of bikes with more appropriate geo and spec for that amount of travel.

What bike would you look for adding a grand more?

Not trying to piss on your chips. It's just that many bikes around the 4-5k price point will ride a lot better.
But you didn't actually say what sort of riding you like to do.

No worries mate I'm actually glad you told me that before I bought the bike.
Where I live we have a lot of rock gardens and roots, some really gnarly stuff that takes some long climbs to reach. But during summer we ride a lot of bike parks with more flowy trails, so it's a bit of everything really, but the bike needs to survive some abuse downhill.
