The Shift Plus i/O isn’t exactly new, as Haro already had ebikes on the menu, but Haro did make some notable improvements to the redesigned Shift Plus i/O eBike line up; like boosting travel to 160mm, integrating a larger battery and making the bike a mullet for faster speeds and increased rollover. As of right now there are two models available but a third will be released soon. The i/O 9 we received is their top of the line model and retails for $5,999. The Shift Plus i/O 5 is the entry level offering and retails for $4,199 and the to-be-released i/O 7 is said to be in the mid-$5,000 range.
We spent quite a few hours and lot of vertical feet getting to know the Haro Shift Plus i/O 9 while creating this feature and it is really good. We’d love to see a longer dropper post spec’d on the larger frames and even though we felt the shock tune was really well done, we can envision some riders missing out on the adjustability. But, don’t let that stop you because chances are 90% of riders will fit within the factory tune just fine!
Highlights of the Shift i/O include suspension design, extended battery range out of the Shimano Steps system and well-rounded geometry. This ebike is composed and planted in the rough and rowdy sections thanks to the supple four-bar suspension design. It still plays nicely and handles big hits easily too. All of our riders really liked the balanced feel and suspension of the Haro Shift eMTB.
Similarly, our testers felt the bike offered competitive geometry that wasn’t overwhelmed on the gnarliest of DH trails, but kept this eMTB alive and fun on flatter, pedaly trail rides too. So far all who’ve ridden the Haro have been stoked. We look forward to spending more time on the bike on a broader range of trails and reporting back on the durability and a more detailed account of how it performs after lots more bashing. Haro's eMTB offering looks to be on point and should be welcomed by consumers looking to make a mountain ebike purchase.
