Haibike presents the new "Heet
Edgy, dynamic and with clear lines: the new Heet frame impresses with a new design and optimized kinematics. With a weight of around 2,150 grams (without shock), it is quite light. The four-bar rear triangle also offers 160 mm of suspension travel. Thanks to the Rock Shox "Pike" fork, the 27.5'' model has 160 mm of travel, the 29'' 150 mm. The variable CNC dropouts provide the right dropout for different axles or rear derailleurs and are therefore fully compatible for thru-axle or quick release, direct mount or standard rear derailleur. The cables are integrated into the frame on the 2014 models and allow the use of all standard cables and wires.
The new suspension technology, which can also be mounted without shims or washers, ensures perfect compression without friction. This increases both the stability and rigidity of the new Heet. The ball bearings used are specially designed for use on fully frames, thus reducing wear. The stainless steel seat clamp, which is also integrated into the frame, ensures that the seat post is gently locked in the optimum position. An angle-adjustable headset ensures even more variability on all HEET models. This allows the rider to change the steering angle as desired.
The modern design language of the new Haibike Heet models rounds off a coherent design concept. Large areas of color are interrupted by playful grid structures and technical-graphic components. The Haibike logo is placed large and inverted on the down tube and the typography of the 2014 models is also more technical and straightforward.
The Haibike Heet will be available next season as the Heet SL 27.5, Heet RC 27.5 and Heet RX 27.5 including e:i shock, the first fully automatic shock system. The recommended retail price of the Heet RX 27.5 is 6,599 euros. Enduro fun in the 29'' range is offered by the Heet SL 29 and Heet RC 29.
