How much enduro can a trail bike take?Photo: Markus GreberIn the endurance test: In 2020, Cube relaunched its Elite race hardtail and won the test in the first comparison test this year. Now the Cube Elite C:68X has to show whether it can also convince in the long term.Photo: Markus GreberIn the endurance test: The Specialized Stumpjumper Comp Carbon * with a lightweight frame, 29-inch wheels and 150 millimetres of travel.Photo: Markus GreberThe Trek Supercaliber 9.9 XX1 won a comparison in BIKE 2/20 with the test rating "super". Long-distance junkie and editor-in-chief Henri Lesewitz wanted to know how durable the special design is in everyday use.Photo: Wolfgang WatzkeAlthough there are many lightweight hardtail frames, there is only one lightest production frame in the world. At just 775 grams for a size M frame (without thru-axle), the new Mondraker Podium wants to claim this crown for itself. We disassembled, weighed and tested it.Photo: Wolfgang WatzkeBehind the well-known name Alma lies a completely newly developed race hardtail with a 974 gram frame. Orbea also offers its elegantly painted carbon frame with an in-house carbon rigid fork (Spirit Fork) as an option.Photo: Wolfgang WatzkeWith the MCR 9 RDO, Niner launched the first gravel bike on the market, which still enjoys exotic status. We tested whether it can keep up with an MTB hardtail on gravel tours.Photo: Wolfgang WatzkeWith the Topstone *, Cannondale goes one step further when it comes to gravel. The gravel bike with Lefty fork and rear suspension is said to be fully suitable for off-road riding. We tested whether the Topstone delivers what it promises.
