Winter sales: the best bike deals

When the grass turns green again, it means that mountain bikes and gravel bikes will be back in action. And if you want a new bike for the start of the season, you've come to the right place. In the winter sales, you can discover big discounts, especially on bikes. For example, the Focus Jam 8.9, the in our big BIKE test with the following conclusion: "The Focus Jam 8.9 masters descents with confidence and offers the rider plenty of comfort. The suspension and tyres provide plenty of traction. All in all, a very good all-mountain bike.". The Focus Jam 8.9 is currently available on offer here for 3449 instead of 4799 euros.

The Cube Stereo One55 is more of an enduro bike. The Cube (here in the big BIKE test) rides well-balanced with a lot of playfulness. Our test editor found the weight, equipment and price to be favourable and the durability to be solid. The Cube Stereo now costs 2538 euros instead of 3999 euros.

For gravel fans, an all-rounder is the right choice if you want to use the bike universally. The Bergamont Grandurance (>> available here at a reduced price) was evident in the BIKE test extremely stable, fully equipped to a high standard and even offers the option of transporting additional items using a luggage rack.

A suspension version of a gravel bike is the Trek Checkpoint SL 5 (>> available here at a reduced price), which we will present in the Test of 6 suspension gravel bikes had. A bike like this is more in the direction of a mountain bike and is ideal if you want something a little rougher.

Cycling clothing

Mountain bike clothing plays a crucial role in the riding experience by providing protection, comfort and freedom of movement. High-quality materials are essential to keep the body dry and protect it from wind and rain. Breathable fabrics ensure that perspiration is wicked away efficiently, while robust padding in strategic areas offers additional protection. A good fit is also important - the clothing should be tight enough not to get in the way, but also offer enough flexibility to allow unrestricted movement. For example, there are practical MTB shorts such as the Endura MT500 Spray Shorts (>> available here) or - if it gets really sour - an overall from Endura (>> available here). Whether on challenging trails or relaxed tours: the right clothing can make all the difference. We have selected products from the most important categories as examples.
