Bikes in a duel
Freerider duel: Pivot Firebird vs. Cannondale Jekyll
The US companies trained their bikes to have mountains of muscle. The aim is for them to fight their way to the top in the Enduro World Series. We wanted to know: Which one is stronger downhill?
Single test: Instinctiv M97
They still exist: small bike manufacturers with their own ideas. However, we are surprised that the Dutch of all people would certify that their very first bike is EWS-compatible. And why do the Dutch use a gearbox?
Test: 8 rear carriers in a practical check
If you want to take your bike to the spot, a rear carrier is exactly the right choice. We tested bike carriers for function and handling. Two tailgate models and six carriers for the coupling in the check.
