New Bike Day: Haro Shift Plus i/O 5
HARO SHIFT PLUS I/O 5
By Haro Bikes
The Shift i/O 5 is a powerful All-Mountain contender. Built upon our new 2020 4-bar linkage frame with 160mm of rear travel and a Suntour Aion 35mm EVO Boost fork, it features Shimano’s E8000 MTB-specific mid-motor system that delivers 250 watts of power, 70 Nm of user-friendly torque and a new internal 504Wh battery for an outstanding integrated look a Shimano 10-speed 1X set up keeps things simple while the new Kenda Nevegal 2 27.5″ x 2.6″ tires with U-40 double wall rims make you feel like you are on rails around even the loosest terrain. The Tektro 745 4-piston hydraulic brakes bring it all to a quick stop when needed. The 2020 Shift i/O 5 remains one of the most versatile, yet affordable dual-suspension e-MTB on the market today.

SPECIFICATIONS
**Note**
We (Electric Bike Action) had the opportunity to log in a few miles on last years’ Haro Shift i/O 5 and we were impressed to find out how well it handled out on the trails. For 2020, Haro has made significant upgrades to the Shift i/O 5 and we think it will be a big win for Haro. Until we do a full evaluation of the 2020 Haro Shift i/O 5 we can say at $4200 and what we experienced in last year’s bike it could be a good buy. Haro has also launched their new Shift Plus i/O 9 as well and that will cost $5800.
