Test & Technology
Novelties: Harbingers of the season
Rockshox is offering its Flight Attendant electronic suspension as a retrofit kit for the first time. Commencal is launching the T.E.M.P.O. trail bike with completely new rear suspension kinematics. And industry giant Giant is relaunching the enduro classic Reign. We present the harbingers of the 2023 season in a fact check.
Test novelties: 5 exciting bikes in the individual test
From filigree race hardtails to attractive price-performance bangers and luxury enduro bikes - the 2023 season is drawing ever closer and new models of all kinds are rolling out of the manufacturers' development departments. We have tested five exciting models in the lab and in practice.
Test Scott Scale RC new vs. old
The new edition of Scott's racing classic Scale is bursting with superlatives. This also applies to the exorbitantly high price of the top model. To find out what the 14,000 euro race hardtail can do, we took a close look at it together with its predecessor.
Inno-Check Ochain
The Ochain-Spider promises a chainless riding experience. The resilient bearing of the chainring is supposed to boost the suspension, protect the rider from pedal kickback and enable better downhill performance. A stroke of genius or hocus-pocus? We have tried it out.
Test vests: 11 long-sleeved shirts for cycling
Cycling in the cold is a real challenge for the functional textiles closest to the skin. The body only performs at its best in a narrow temperature range. Sweat and clothing regulate the degree of warmth. The eleven long-sleeved vests in the test show how differently the manufacturers deal with this.

Biking in winter: Everything about tour planning, equipment care & fitness on cold days
Without good preparation, winter biking can quickly become an endurance test. To spare you the shivering, we have compiled the most important tips and tricks from experts and show you which alternatives the pros use to keep fit over the winter.
Roller training: smart systems put to the test & tips for effective training at home
When the trails freeze outside, more and more bikers are sweating it out in short-short roller training. We show you how indoor training can be really fun and test the latest devices with smart software for the brave new world of biking in your own living room.
Entertainment
Yeti C-26: Maiden voyage with an icon
No bike is as rare and as shrouded in myth as the Yeti C-26. Hardly anyone has ever seen one in real life. And now this: I, the BIKE reporter, get to take the maiden voyage on a still unridden specimen. A sensation. And a thriller.

Travel & Tours
25 years of BIKE-Transalp
Nobody would have thought in 1998 that the BIKE Transalp would become a cult event and trigger a worldwide avalanche of stage races. We celebrate the 25th anniversary of the toughest race across the Alps with a look back and an anniversary route for 2023.
Vosges area guide
If everything feels like the Black Forest, only wilder and more unspoilt - and there are no biking bans - then you're probably in the Vosges. The food tastes better there too, enthuses author Patrick Kunkel.
