Haibike Hybe MY26 with Bosch CX-R motor: Two carbon versions for trail use

· 28.02.2026
The new Haibike Hybe MY26 E-MTB combines carbon construction with innovative motor integration for trail performance. The full carbon frame utilises a two-piece layup structure with a stiff main frame and flexible rear triangle. The motor-frame integration takes place at an 85-degree angle from above, which should enable a low centre of gravity. The design allows the battery to be removed with the down tube closed.
The geometry is based on modern trail standards with a steering angle of 64.5 degrees for stability in technical terrain. Short chainstays and progressive kinematics should enable manoeuvrable handling. The mullet wheel setup combines different wheel sizes at the front and rear.
The suspension works with 170 mm travel at the front and 160 mm at the rear. The cockpit integrates the Bosch Kiox 400C display directly into the top tube without external cable routing. The bike comes in two equipment variants: The top model CF 11 and the basic version CF 9.
Haibike Hybe CF 11: Bosch CX-R meets carbon layup
The Haibike Hybe CF 11 utilises the new Bosch Performance Line CX-R motor as a drive with 100 Nm torque. The motor is currently the most powerful drive unit in the Bosch portfolio. Suspension is provided by the Rockshox ZEB Ultimate fork with 170 mm travel at the front and the Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock with 160 mm travel. Sram's Maven Ultimate brakes and carbon handlebars round off the equipment package at a price of 11,000 euros.
The front frame triangle has been given a stiffer design to ensure better power transmission. The combination of motor and frame geometry is aimed at agile handling in technical passages. According to its own statement, the CF 11 is aimed at riders who place high demands on the trail performance of a bike.
Haibike Hybe CF9: Sram Eagle meets Rockshox Base
The CF 9 uses the Bosch Performance Line CX motor without the R add-on. The Rockshox ZEB Base Rush RC air suspension fork also provides 170 mm of travel at the front. The gears are shifted with the Sram S1000 Eagle transmission. Sram Maven Bronze disc brakes provide the deceleration. The component selection aims to achieve a balanced price-performance ratio.
The basic version retains the carbon frame structure and geometry of the top model. The motor integration and display solution remain identical to the CF 11. The Haibike Hybe CF 9 is aimed at beginners in the high-end E-MTB segment with a price of €7499. The equipment allows upgrades of individual components depending on riding style and budget.
Proven successful
Tom Öhler proved the Hybe's capabilities with an official RID world record. The Haibike athlete crossed more than 15 peaks in 14 hours and covered 102 kilometres with 5550 metres of altitude. Anna Spielmann won the UCI E-MTB Cross Country World Championships with the Hybe. Andrea Garibbo won the European E-MTB Enduro Tour with the same model.
Haibike is convinced that its previous racing successes have already demonstrated the versatility of the trail concept, from technical climbs to fast descents. The Hybe MY26 is intended to continue this proven basis with improved drive technology and a revised design.
