A belt drive, gearbox and e-mountain bike motor in one — Haibike's AllMtn Trn/iq gets Pinion's auto-shifting MGU motor that promises 10,000km of maintenance-free riding
Is this what every e-MTBer has been looking for? Up to 12 gears, next to no maintenance, bags of gearing range and super precise shifting under load, according to Pinion and Haibike
Since jumping on the e-mountain bike bandwagon in 2010, Haibike has become synonymous with electric-assist bikes of the off-road variety. Utilising a range of motors and drive systems, Haibike is also known for experimenting with some of the most exciting e-bike tech around, and that's exactly the case with its latest bike - the interestingly-named AllMtn CF TRN/IQ - a bike that gets the latest in Pinion tech.

And that Pinion technology comes in the form of the Motor Gearbox Unit E1.12, or MGU to you and me. The MGU brings a host of cool features to the fray; but importantly, as it provides 12-speed shifting via internal gears and transfers power using a belt drive system, wear and maintenance are set to be reduced to an absolute minimum. In fact, it promises zero maintenance up until the 10,000km mark, after which it will require just a simple oil change.

Available through four power modes, the MGU is said to kick out up to 160Nm of rear wheel torque and smooth shifting under load. Then, as found on the brand's non-e-MTB gearboxes, this one features Auto.Shift. It's a fancy bit of tech that's designed to do the shifting for you, as it attempts to pick the perfect gear before and as you crank on the pedals. That motor and all that technology are powered by a removable 800Wh battery.
The AllMtn TRN/IQ, a name that rolls off the tongue (our tongues are firmly in our cheeks there, if you hadn't guessed), benefits from shorter chainstays while providing a central centre of gravity, says Haibike, and that's in a bid to promote playful and lively handling.

The bike's belt drive and gearbox system is said to boost this further as there's less weight on the rear triangle, resulting in improved suspension efficiency, according to the brand. To put the geometry into numbers, expect a 64-degree head tube angle, a 440mm chainstay, and for a large frame to get a 77.6-degree effective seat tube angle and a 485mm reach.

Speaking of suspension, the e-bike gets 160mm at both ends as well as a mullet wheel setup, so that's a 29in hoop up front with a 650b, or 27.5 wheel at the rear.
There are two builds available with the AllMtn CF 10 TRN/IQ getting a RockShox Psylo Gold fork, a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ shock, TRP Slate EVO brakes, and DT Swiss H1900 wheels. Those are wrapped with Continental's Kryptotal FR and RE tyres. This bike will set you back 8,500€.
Up the money to a round 10,000€ and that'll grant you the AllMtn CF 11 TRN/IQ. This model gets a RockShox ZEB with a Charger 3.1 damper paired with a RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate shock. There's then Magura's MT5 brakes, DT Swiss H1900 wheels and the same tyres as the more affordable model.

I've seen 3 people doing excited videos on their new bike, but then the motor stops functioning a few minutes into a trail, then they have to give up send off the bike and wait for a replacement motor. I'm not sure it's got for purpose, which is a shame because it looks like it would be ace.
