Test and technology
Swiss Army Knife: First test of the Scott Genius 2023
System integration in every nook and cranny, new geometry data and an extremely versatile frame platform - after five years, Scott is finally breathing new life into its cult all-mountain Genius.
Novelties: Orbea, Yeti, Atherton, Crossworx & Magura
120 millimetres of suspension travel, more system integration and a three-stage chassis: Orbea is getting its successful race bike Oiz ready for the next season. Yeti is launching three new fullys with suspension travel from 120 to 160 millimetres. We show the new trail bikes from Atherton and Crossworx. Plus: Magura Vyron - the latest version of the telescopic seat post with radio remote control.
Carefree hardtail test: titanium frame, fatbike, gears
Soaked trails, mud and icy temperatures: If you want to protect your expensive mountain bike in winter, you have two options: an inexpensive winter bike or a robust carefree bike. BIKE presents four robust models in laboratory and practical tests.
Winter items: Jackets, waistcoats & trousers + shoes & gloves
When crystal-clear air meets frozen trails, it releases unimagined energy in bikers. Mountain biking in winter is fascinating and challenging in equal measure.
With the right equipment, MTB tours in winter become an unforgettable experience. We tested 4 lined combinations of trousers and jacket or gilet, 7 MTB winter shoes and 12 warm gloves.
Endurance test: Bikes & carefree parts from brakes to dropper post
The true strengths and weaknesses of a bike only become apparent after many kilometres. We put 4 models through their paces on the trails for a season. Plus: The editors' favourite parts - because they are more reliable than others, work better or simply look great.
Travel & Tours
Travel report Harz
Dancing with the witches on the famous Brocken - difficult in October. But when it comes to mysticism, the Harz mountains don't take long. On a fog tour in the top area of the north.
Road trip Slovenia
From Kranjska Gora to Trieste - connecting the best bike spots in the Julian Alps on a road trip. Photographer Moritz Ablinger and two freeriders had imagined it would be easier. Here is their eventful story.

Fitness & Service
Mobility & training: more strength, more mobility
World champion Nino Schurter does it, downhill rider Nina Hoffmann and the slopestyle elite do it anyway: mobility training. Because only those who are mobile can train effectively. We show you 13 exercises for more balance and suppleness on the trail.
Size advice: How do I find the right frame size?
For those who have already identified their dream bike, the crucial question is now: Which frame size is the right one? For many riders, not just one size is an option. We explain how geometry and riding behaviour change with size and help you make the right decision.
Entertainment
The fascination of eating up kilometres: Long-distance cyclists & their bikes
By MTB into outer space, halfway around the world or over almost unrideable mountains. If you put the achievements of extreme bikers into perspective, the results are almost unimaginable for the average biker. Three frequent riders and specialists talk about their motivation and which equipment is really stress-free.
