Test and technology
Test Enduros
Fat suspension travel, massive tyres and extreme geometries - modern enduro bikes are uncompromising downhill riders. However, the high weight severely limits the range of use. We therefore ask ourselves: What downhill potential do the current enduro mountain bikes for around 3500 euros have?
New products at Eurobike
Fully booked halls and an unexpectedly high number of visitors made the First Eurobike trade fair in Frankfurt a complete success. We have tracked down the trends and innovations for 2023.
Tyre test part 2
Tyres are the only point of contact with the ground and have a greater influence on riding behaviour than any other component on a mountain bike. The test of 18 MTB tyres for all-mountain use clarifies which models are most effective at increasing riding enjoyment.
Focus on bike arenas
Bike arenas promise all-round fun without the stress. Not only the trails, but also lifts and hotels are fully geared to the needs of mountain bikers. We provide the best arenas and reveal which equipment is ideal.

Report BIKE Transalp
From agony to elation - the most emotional moments from the toughest stage race in Europe: The Maxxis BIKE Transalp is considered the toughest nut to crack on the endurance scene. This time, the route from Lienz to Riva covered 566 kilometres and 18378 metres in altitude. A hellish ordeal. But that's the way it has to be, so that everyone goes crazy with joy at the finish.
BIKE Project: Europe
The bike industry is slowly starting to rethink: MTBs made in Europe. We want to give it a try right now and have published our BIKE PROJECT: EUROPE launched. A gearstick made in Europe? Sounds difficult - until you leave the beaten track: Pinion builds something like this. With maximum gear ratios and just as much meticulousness.
Travel & Tours
Precinct guide: Trail Mecca Bad Salzdetfurth
Lower Saxony: no mountains, no city with a big bike scene nearby - and yet the locals have created a top spot in the mountainous region of the Innerste river, where not only the German Championships are celebrated.
