Hardly any other moment in life releases happiness hormones as reliably as a crisp trail hunt. We have the best Lucky charm for challenging descents sought - in a test field consisting of eight Enduros.
Quieter, lighter, more compact? First test of the new Yamaha Syncdrive Pro2
With a new Yamaha engine Giant goes on the offensive. The Giant Reign E+ is the starting signal for an entirely new generation of e-MTBs from the Taiwanese company. The centrepiece is the new Yamaha Syncdrive Pro2, which has become significantly more compact than its predecessor. And lighter: 2712 grams instead of 3074 grams. Nevertheless, the newcomer should deliver more torque. A First test.
XS bikes: What matters when it comes to E-MTBs for small riders
Do women need specific e-mountainbikes? No, women need Bikes that fit. But these are rare for smaller riders. We found what we were looking for in the Merida model range: the eONE-SIXTY 8000 on test.

Innovations 2022: Bicycle trends from the IAA - on 32 extra pages!
US billionaire Richard Branson apparently first had to fly into space to enjoy it. Cyclists have long known the exhilarating feeling of freedom and weightlessness from everyday life. This carefree gliding over tarmac or gravel while exploring new, unknown worlds. Windswept peaks on a mountain bike. Idyllic tarmac roads on a racing bike. Or even just a lonely side road that you discover on your way to work. It has long been scientifically proven that cycling makes you happy.
So it's no wonder that cycling in all its facets is becoming increasingly popular. More than five million bikes were sold across Germany last year alone. An increase of 17 per cent compared to the previous year. Bicycles are more than just an urban means of transport. They are an expression of an eco-conscious lifestyle, fitness equipment and part of a new type of mobility.
In this 32-page special presented by the editors of BIKE, EMTB, MYBIKE and TOUR the most exciting trends and models of the 2022 model year, so that everyone can experience the cosmos of freedom and weightlessness. Every day, whenever you want.
