Emergency repairs on the trail
Flats, bad luck and breakdowns are part of our sport. Unfortunately. But what do you do when you're on the road - and have to keep going? We give you the most important tricks for quick repairs.
Home story
Korbinian Engstler (23) belongs to the new generation of professional bikers. He entertains his fan community with mini-clips and photos instead of competitions or elaborate YouTube videos. Why is he so popular with fans and sponsors? A home visit in the Allgäu.
Lucky charm
Life is too short to waste time on cucumber trails. That's why we're here to tell you about trails that are really fun. This time we have tips from freerider Kathi Kuypers.
Fetish
The textile industry alone produces 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2 every year. That's more than all international flights and cruises combined. Crazy! If you want to do something about it, you should take a closer look at these sustainable items.
Riding technique: Explained by the pros
Better biking
Our bike pros will help you achieve more style, fun and speed. Be inspired by the super-checkers Darren Bearclaw, Tomáš Slavík, Danny MacAskill, Kilian Bron and Wyn Masters. We say: Boost your skills!
-- TEST & TECHNOLOGY --
Test: lightweight trail savers
Foam cushions on the knee cushion falls and thus prolong the biking season. Because joint injuries are particularly long-lasting. We tested 16 lightweight enduro knee pads in the lab and in practice.
10 high-end enduro bikes in the test
These downhill bikes are real budget killers, but at the same time they are also a guarantee of fun. We pitted ten sinfully expensive enduro bikes against each other.
Aluminium versus carbon: The new YT Capra Carbon vs Capra Alu
When YT relaunched the Capra enduro bike, we were intrigued and decided to take part in a rather strange duel: Capra against Capra, aluminium against carbon, cheap against expensive
Parts in danger
We tested these products: Fox Float Factory X2 / Five Ten Trailcross GTX / Michelin Wild AM2 / PNW loam Dropper post 170 / Alpina Ram HVLM+ / Lezyne Digital shock pump / Reserve Fillmore tubeless valve / Tim's long-term test bike Lapierre Spicy 6.9 CF .

Interview
In the scene, Brook Macdonald (29) is known as "Bulldog" because of his brute riding style. But the uncompromising way he rides downhill has a downside: things often go wrong. Brook was hit particularly hard in 2019. He narrowly missed being paralysed. The film is about his comeback: The Road Back.
Interview with Daniel Ruso
The Ruso brothers cause a stir with a web clip. In it, the two drop almost ten metres deep and frontflip over an XXL jump. Who are these guys?
