And the developers have absolutely succeeded with the 4060 Z ST. No other bike in the test field is so manoeuvrable, agile and fun to ride on the trail - without feeling nervous or unsafe. It is easy to get onto the rear wheel and manoeuvre nimbly around corners. A real trail bike! With its 140 millimetres of travel at the rear, it feels a little firmer and more direct than some of the other candidates. But if you give the bike a good spur, you will be rewarded with a lot of riding confidence, even in enduro terrain.
Sporty, potent trail speedster for experienced riders. Agile and fun like no other bike, also due to its low weight. Good range, but nothing for leisurely excursions.

Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in EMTB. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them, namely tens of thousands of euros every year.
