The frame of the Greed HardNine 8.0 is made from lightweight and robust carbon, which not only helps to reduce weight but also ensures high stiffness and stability.

The bike is fitted with a RockShox SID RL suspension fork, which, with 100 mm of travel, provides excellent damping characteristics and thus ensures a comfortable ride even on uneven terrain.

For the drivetrain, Haibike has opted for the Shimano XT M8000 groupset on this model, which offers a wide range of gear ratios with 22 speeds and is renowned for its reliability and precise shifting. The hydraulic disc brakes, also from Shimano, ensure powerful and easily modulated braking performance in all conditions.

The Greed HardNine 8.0’s 29-inch wheels are slightly larger, resulting in better rolling performance and a smoother ride. The tyres provide sufficient grip and traction to ride safely even on challenging terrain. Furthermore, the wheels are tubeless-ready, offering the option to switch to tubeless tyres and thus minimise the risk of punctures.

The bike’s cockpit is ergonomically designed and fitted with high-quality components. The handlebars and stem are from Haibike and offer comfortable handling as well as good control over the bike. The Selle Royal saddle ensures the necessary comfort even on longer rides.

Overall, the Haibike Greed HardNine 8.0 is a well-designed and high-performance mountain bike that stands out thanks to its high-quality materials and components. It offers both ambitious amateur riders and professionals a reliable and high-performance platform for challenging tours and competitions.
