Buying advice

- Lenkerbreite, Flare, Drop und Backsweep bestimmen Kontrolle, Ergonomie und Langstreckenkomfort und müssen zur Körpergeometrie passen.  
- Aluminium-Lenker mit moderatem Flare, flachem Drop und leichtem Backsweep sind ein vielseitiger Kompromiss aus Komfort, Kontrolle und Preis.  
- Carbon- und Vollintegrations-Cockpits bieten Gewichts- und Aero-Vorteile, sind aber deutlich teurer und weniger flexibel anpassbar.

- Linexo focuses on SMEs and offers a service bike leasing scheme with comprehensive breakdown cover included as standard, with no excess.
- According to Hirsch, second-hand bikes from lease returns are to be channelled more heavily into specialist high-street shops to meet the high demand for affordable e-bikes.
- Hirsch sees scope for reform in the leasing sector: longer lease terms, subscription models without a purchase option, and better use of legal leeway to offer more affordable instalments.

Bicycle market: What’s going wrong with leasing and the second-hand market

- Bicycle preferences vary greatly depending on the country hosting the World Championships; local brands benefit from a home advantage and proximity to customers.  
- International brands such as Trek, Specialized and Giant maintain a strong presence in many markets thanks to their dealer networks, service and range of models.  
- Brand popularity serves only as a rough guide; the intended use, test results, and setup and service recommendations remain the decisive factors.

- The key factors for a good hardtail are modern geometry, the right components (suspension fork, tyres, dropper post) and a well-balanced overall package.
- The bike must be suited to its intended use: XC/touring for easy routes, trail hardtails for technical trails; overly extreme geometries are a disadvantage.
- Key specifications: air suspension fork, wide 29" tyres from 2.3" upwards, dropper post, low weight (<11 kg for XC, <13.5 kg for trail) and a reasonable budget starting at around €2,000.

- Road bikes are usually clearly faster than gravel bikes on smooth tarmac, at high speeds, in races and on long, flat roads.
- Gravel bikes maintain a more constant speed on poor, mixed terrain and in bad weather and can therefore be faster and more efficient in everyday use.
- Greater comfort and a more relaxed riding position often make gravel bikes a more practical choice on long rides, especially for amateur riders.
