Test & Technology
ALL MOUNTAINS: Nine high-end bolides and their affordable counterparts
All Mountains of the upper price league are something for real E-MTB gourmets. However, this category contains very different flavours. In addition to real delicacies, we have also discovered some bitter surprises.
GEARED HUB VS. CHAINCHAIR: E-MTB drivetrains in comparison
The durability of chain drives leaves a lot to be desired. Could a Strap with Gear hub be the solution? We asked two almost Identical test bikes for direct comparison.
SCOTT PATRON E-RIDE: What can the fully integrated E-MTB do?
With the Patron eRide Scott presents its first family member of a new generation of e-bikes. We have the Newcomer in the fact check and in the field.
ORBEA RISE H: Light concept now with larger battery and lower price
Orbea has extended the range of its Light e-bikes expanded: The new Orbea Rise H got an aluminium frame and more battery power, but has also outgrown the lightweight class. Does the concept work?
BOSCH DUEL Bulls vs Conway: entry into the smart system
5000 Euro is considered the entry-level price category for E-Fullys. After models with the Bosch Smart System you have to search for a long time. The Bulls Sonic EVO AM 3 Carbon and the Conway Xyron S 4.9 belong to this seductive species. What do the two bikes have to offer?
SANTA CRUZ HECKLER: Premiere of the new luxury car in the first check
In the new Santa Cruz Heckler The front wheel has a larger battery with 726 watt hours and a 29er wheel at the front. At the rear, there is a choice of a 27.5 or a 29er. The geometry also follows the trend and is slightly longer and significantly slacker. Time for a first test.
Service and accessories
LICHTER-SHOW: The best systems for e-mountainbikes

WEARING BRAKE: How the chain and cassette last longer
Because of the enormous motor power on the E-MTB drive components wear out as if in fast motion. We show you how you can slow down the process - and save a lot of money.
Travel and tours
ALTA BADIA: Area guide to the top spot in the Dolomites & three tours to follow
Heavenly pleasure: With Alta Badia, the Lord God has obviously been busy practising for the heavenly paradise. We have explored the South Tyrolean region on tours where there is little going on in terms of people, but all the more in terms of scenery.
HÜTTENTOUR SCHWEIZ: From Davos to the Kesch Hut
Two days of alpine trail frenzy: High above Davos lies the Kesch hut away from the usual bike routes. No wonder, the ascent via the Scaletta Pass is arduous. On an e-MTB, however, the route is simply fun.
