The 2025 mountain bike season is just around the corner and numerous manufacturers have presented their new products. From lightweight trail bikes to downhill-orientated enduro and downhill bikes, there is something for every purpose. We provide an overview of ten exciting new mountain bikes and their technical highlights.
Canyon transmitter CFR
Canyon presents the Sender CFR, a completely redesigned downhill bike. The carbon frame now has a high-pivot rear triangle, which, according to the manufacturer, should ensure maximum traction and control in demanding terrain. With 200 millimetres of front and rear suspension travel, the Sender CFR has been designed for the toughest downhill use.
Rose PDQ AL
With the PDQ AL, Rose presents an affordable hardtail for mountain bike beginners. The aluminium frame is designed for versatility and is suitable for touring as well as easy trails. With 120 millimetres of suspension travel on the fork, the PDQ AL offers sufficient reserves for first off-road excursions. Rose relies on solid equipment with components from Shimano and Rockshox. The PDQ AL is available in two equipment variants for 1199 and 1499 euros available here.
Specialised Turbo Levo
Specialized completely overhauls its successful Levo model and presents the fourth generation. New motor, new battery, new frame - all developed in-house. The carbon frame has 150 millimetres of rear suspension travel, plus forks with 160 millimetres. Depending on the model, either the new S-Works motor with 111 Newton metres of torque or the Specialized 3.1 motor is used as the drive. The integrated battery has a capacity of 840 watt hours. The geometry can be adapted to different preferences using flipchips.
Specialised offers the Levo 4 in several equipment variants. The carbon models cost between 7999 and 14,500 euros. Since the end of May, there's also the cheaper aluminium bikes from 5999 euros.
Haibike ALLMTN CF TRN/IQ
With the AllMtn CF TRN/IQ, Haibike presents a new E-Enduro that relies on the innovative MGU motor-gear unit from Pinion. This combines a powerful mid-motor with an integrated twelve-speed gearbox. The carbon frame has 160 millimetres of suspension travel. The battery is classically removable and has a capacity of 800 watt hours. Haibike offers the AllMtn CF TRN/IQ in two equipment variants for 8500 and 10,000 euros.
Orbea Rallon EN / DH
With the new Rallon, Orbea is putting an incredibly versatile platform on the trail. The new carbon frame can be set up either as a downhiller with 200/200 millimetres of travel or as an enduro bike with 170/180 millimetres by swapping the lower rocker. The geometry can also be customised using flip chips so that the steering angle, bottom bracket height and chainstay length can be individually adjusted. Up to 600 grams of additional weight can be placed in the frame for a lower centre of gravity - a practice that has become established in the Downhill World Cup.
The Rallon DH comes with mullet wheels as standard, i.e. 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear. The Enduro is also available as a 29er. Orbea offers three enduro models from 5399 to 9999 euros as well as a downhill version for 7999 euros.
Propain Tyee
Propain is revising its bestseller Tyee and positioning it even more strongly in the enduro segment. The carbon frame now only has forks with 170 millimetres of travel, while the rear remains at 160 millimetres. The frame has been given two completely new details. The cables can now be routed back into the frame in the classic way, but there is still the option of integrated routing through the headset. In addition, the brake mount on the rear triangle has been moved to the top of the seat stays and is now easier to fit.
Commencal Meta Power SX 800
With the Meta Power SX 800, Commencal presents a new E-Enduro that is trimmed for maximum downhill performance. The aluminium frame has 185 millimetres of suspension travel at the rear and is fitted with 180 millimetre forks. The Bosch Performance CX is used as the drive, which can deliver 100 Newton metres of torque and up to 750 watts of peak power following an announced update. The permanently installed battery has a capacity of 800 watt hours. Commencal relies on mullet wheels with 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear tyres. The Meta Power SX 800 is to be launched on the market in two equipment variants for 7500 and 8500 euros - but not until later in the year.
Pivot Shuttle SL/AM
Pivot is expanding its e-bike portfolio with the Shuttle SL/AM, a lightweight trail e-bike with 160 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and 150 millimetres at the rear. The Bosch Performance Line SX is used as the drive and the permanently installed battery has a capacity of 400 watt hours. A range extender with 250 watt hours can be retrofitted as an option. The geometry can be adapted to a small rear wheel using a flipchip, meaning that the bike can also be ridden in a mullet set-up. Pivot offers the Shuttle SL/AM in three equipment variants, which cost between 8599 and 12,999 euros.
Ghost Poacha
With the Poacha, Ghost is launching a genuine freerider for bike park use. The carbon frame is approved for category 5 use and is also compatible with double bridge forks. With 180 millimetres of travel at the front and rear, the Poacha is suitable for tough downhill trails and freeride lines. The geometry can be adapted to different preferences using flip chips. Ghost offers the Poacha as a complete bike from 4999 euros.
Marin Quake
Marin is revitalising a classic with the Quake. After a 14-year break, the gravity bike returns in a completely redesigned form. The aluminium frame provides 180 millimetres of rear suspension travel and is designed for tough use in the bike park and on downhill trails. Marin relies on a Horst-Link suspension system and Mullet wheels. The geometry can be adapted to different preferences using flipchips. The Marin Quake is available as a complete bike for 5299 euros or as a frameset for 2099 euros.
