Any views on the above Bike thanks

I was considering a Giant Roam XR-E a couple of years ago and popped into my local Giant dealer to see if they had any to view & test ride which only bought a blank look. In the end got a KTM from elsewhere after a test ride.

2016 Giant Dirt E Plus 2 looks a neat bike esp with the intergrated 500Wh battery and Yam motor but difficult to tell overall how it all goes togther as its not out yet.

Thanks Wicky after much searching to find which bike dealers i am close to i am down to 4 bike makes . but only one bicycle shop keeps any emtbs which is the ktm dealer and they also sell the cube but are waiting on stock coming the only other two dealers are for haibike and focus but again only orders no stock so not easy to get a idea .have you had any probs with the bike and which model have you the bikes i am thinking of are the hailbike hard seven or if a deal can be had the hard nine. the focus is impulse 27r again if i can get a deal or the impulse 29r 5.0 the cube reaction hybrid hpa pro 500 . and the giant as i asked about anybody own one of these and give me a bit of info?

I have a new Hard9 - only been riding it for 3 months but absolutely love the bike.
It's a beautifully crafted machine, real Teutonic engineering!

Sadly I thought I'd do lots more off road but am finding that most of my riding is on the road so I'm thinking of changing to a more road oriented model.
If you're looking and could put up with slightly used, maybe we can do a "deal!"

Either way you won't be disappointed with any of the Haibikes.

Hi what money were you looking for it ? as it would depend on if the warranty was transferable and as i live 500miles from you postage. is their an marks scratches or still like new being only months old?

Ah ok, bit too far to collect!!

I got a KTM eRace 29 P after a test ride at Redbridge - ex-demo with 500 miles on and I've added another 1000+ without a problem. Just needed basic maintenance and replacing service items i.e brake pads.

Best points: build quality & torque up hills.

Bad points: None apart from a console that at night when you power up can let you hit the off button...

Soon changed the OEM tires to more road orientated Big Apples which roll very nicely and quickly on the roads where I ride 90% of the time - now put on a pair of Smart Sam Pluses as an experiment for Autumn & Winter.
