UNIQUE: Haibike xDuro Downhill 9.0

Probably the only readily available, mass-production downhill-specific e-MTBs on the market… well, downhill preferred anyway. Don’t be afraid to test the limits on this one! Haibike’s xDuro Downhill’s intention is to assist with the pedal back to the top so riders can self-shuttle, instead of taking chairlifts or vans to the top. If you are Haibike pro rider Sam Pilgrim, you could also use this bike to go upside down over enormous jumps. The e-DH bike is a good idea – who can argue that fewer shuttle buses needed to ferry gravity fiends is a bad thing?

Best for: Downhill

• Sizes: S, M, L, XL
• Wheel size: 27.5”
• Motor: Yamaha PW-X
• Price: £5,199

DESIRABILITY: Scott E-Genius 700 Tuned

Scott’s top-rung e-MTB is one of the best-looking e-bikes available. Not only that, it’s also kitted out with outstanding components, including Shimano Di2 electronic shifting and Scott’s proprietary TwinLoc remote suspension mode shifter (open/trail/lockout).  Shimano’s Steps motor will get you reliably up to speed along the varied trails this bike is made for, while its powerful Zee brakes will slow you down again. Its quality can’t be disputed. Other price points available.

Best for: Trail, all-round MTB

• Sizes: S, M, L, XL
• Wheel size: 27.5” Plus, or 29”
• Motor: Shimano Steps E8000
• Price: £6,799
