EMTB 6/20 - The magazine for e-mountain bikers is currently available. You can obtain the new EMTB conveniently in the Subscription, in our Online shop and as an app edition for Apple and Android. Here are the top topics of this issue:
Test and innovations
High-end fullys: 8 finest super all-rounders in the points test
Lots of suspension travel, robust attachments, good climbing characteristics - contradictions that cannot be combined on classic mountain bikes. On e-MTBs, however, they can, thanks to the motor support. Good prerequisites for finding the perfect super all-rounder in this range. We went on a search among eight high-end full-suspension bikes.
Orbea Rise: Spanish recklessness
The Orbea Rise is the next candidate for a new E-era. Slim, light, sporty. The idea: E-MTBs should finally ride on the trail just like motorless bikes. Has Orbea perfected the concept?
Santa Cruz Bullit: American dream bike at a nightmare price
On the spec sheet, the Santa Cruz Bullit is inconspicuous. On the trail, however, the US enduro bike turns into a wild animal.
Fun in the snow: with the E-Fatbike to the ski area
Fun on the slopes without a lift. What ski tourers can do may be coming into fashion with e-bikers. We wanted to know whether two fat tyres and a motor are just as much fun as a pair of wide deep-snow boards.
Winter clothing: Bike clothing that we warmly recommend
Thanks to the motor, e-bikes can easily trudge through mud and snow. However, winter fun also requires the right clothing. We can warmly recommend the jackets, trousers, shoes and gloves on the following pages.
Price banger: Lots of travel for little money - R Raymon Trailray
The R Raymon Trailray E 8.0 is aimed at enduro beginners and comfort-conscious touring bikers. They get a good-natured, smooth-running long-travel bike at a temptingly low price of 3999 euros. Also in the individual test: Trek Powerfly FS7 and Radon Jealous Hybrid.

E-bike seeks newcomer: five people in partner happiness
The craziest year of our lives is behind us. Also the craziest year for bikes. In times of standstill, Germany is moving like never before. Empty shops, full trails, record numbers in the bike parks. We wanted to know from six newcomers: What got you into e-MTBs?
Diddie Schneider: An interview with the flow whisperer
As if he'd stepped out of a DMAX reality show: Diddie Schneider is a seasoned bloke. Someone who digs and digs, hammers and saws. But the 54-year-old is no clear-cutting lumberjack. He is a filigree designer, a flow aesthete - and an Ochsenknecht lookalike.
Service
Second hand: the most important tips for buying second hand
The market for new e-MTBs is booming despite, or perhaps because of, the coronavirus pandemic. Many top sellers are sold out or have long delivery times. This makes second-hand bikes even more attractive than before. What should second-hand buyers look out for?
Travel and tours
Heckmair route: Really unrideable? With the E-MTB on the original Transalp
The original route of Transalp pioneer Andi Heckmair is known for its strenuous carrying and pushing passages. Heckmair himself did not believe that it could even work with an e-MTB. Claus Fleischer, Stefan Schlie and Markus Greber wanted to find out anyway. The Heckmair 2.0 experiment turns into a rollercoaster of emotions.
Supertrail: Two-day tour on the Similaun
Our Supertrail No. 15 is nothing less than the crossing of the main Alpine ridge - in both directions. A high alpine, scenically unique, but technically extremely challenging trail adventure.
Area guide: Three relaxed tours near Nuremberg
A hidden trail area, decorated in bright autumn colours. At the end of the season, the Nuremberg region beckons with leafy tours and Franconian pubs with savoury delights.
