Doesn't that look like a Haibike Xduro Fullseven Carbon? Yes, it does - even if it comes with slightly different components. The fork and wheels from DT Swiss are fun, and the XTR Di2 or the carbon cranks from Tune or the MT8 brakes from Magura are evidence of a coherent concept. The car manufacturer Audi has teamed up with e-mountain bike industry leader Haibike to put its own e-mountain bike on wheels.

With a total weight of around 18.2 kg, the bike is impressive - with a Bosch CX mid-motor 500 Wh battery, Nyon display and carbon frame, of course. The motorized off-road bike is available in sizes 40, 45 and 50 cm - but limited to one hundred units and only in the Audi web store.

The Audi e-mountain bike is priced at 15,300 euros. The top model from Haibke, the Xduro FullSeven Carbon Ultimate version, is around 300 euros cheaper - but weighs just under a kilo less due to different specifications. The "Audi Sport E-Tron" is available within the EU and Switzerland.
