It doesn’t all have to be about e-bikes: 7 mountain bike highlights from Eurobike 2026

In Germany, the market significance of non-electric mountain bikes has declined dramatically over recent years. This was once again impossible to miss during the trade days at the Eurobike trade fair. Amidst all the new e-drives, however, they’re still there: beautiful, fascinating, striking and affordable mountain bikes. This article is guaranteed to be e-bike-free and showcases only the MTB highlights from Eurobike 2026.
Enduro full-suspension bike from 2,499 euros: Nukeproof Tracker FS
With the Tracker FS, Nukeproof is launching an attractively priced enduro bike based on the tried-and-tested platform of its successful Mega model. The aluminium frame adopts the same geometry and rear suspension kinematics, but omits some cost-intensive features such as internal cable routing to enable a significantly lower retail price. With 165 millimetres of rear suspension travel, a 170-millimetre fork, a mullet wheel configuration and balanced enduro geometry, the Tracker FS is aimed at riders looking for plenty of suspension travel at an affordable price. This attractive deal is rounded off by a lifetime warranty that is even transferable to subsequent owners.
All plastic: Stabelead Downhill prototype
The young Stabelead brand was already turning heads at last year’s Eurobike. The label is a spin-off from a company in the photography and film industry. The aim is to apply innovative approaches to mountain bikes through technology transfer. Stabelead leaves no single component out. Frames, upside-down suspension forks, carbon shock absorbers, disc brakes and accessories: everything is on display as a prototype, and none of it is available to buy yet. At Eurobike 2026, Stabelead will be showcasing a wild downhill prototype.
An unexpected twist: the Raymon Arid carbon hardtail
Until now, Raymon has mainly made a name for itself with new e-bikes featuring innovative motor designs. However, tucked away in the far corner of the exhibition stand, there were also two new mountain bikes without motors on display. Alongside a full-suspension enduro bike, Raymon will also be launching a carbon-framed race hardtail in the future. The top-of-the-range Arid Ultra model retails for 4,599 euros and comes equipped with an electronic Shimano XT Di2 groupset, a Fox 32 Factory fork and 100 millimetres of travel. The rigid seatpost, the wheels and the one-piece handlebar set are also made of carbon and are from the brand’s own range.
High-pivot trail bike from 12.1 kg: True BC Knuth, made in Germany
The True BC Knuth is an exceptional trail and all-mountain bike, handcrafted in Germany. The carbon frame is laminated in Bavaria by True BC founder Dominik Heinstein himself and combines a modern high-pivot rear triangle with a chain guide, 135 millimetres of rear travel and a mullet wheel set-up with a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel. With a frame weight of around 2.7 kilograms, an integrated Eightpins dropper post and geometry designed for agility and a smooth ride, the Knuth is aimed at discerning trail riders and individualists. The frames are available for pre-order from 3,499 euros.
The Future is Aerodynamic: Canyon Lux Era Concept Bike
The Canyon Lux Era is a futuristic cross-country concept bike with which Canyon is pushing the boundaries of modern XC bikes. The prototype features large 32-inch wheels, an upside-down suspension fork and a striking double-decker cockpit, which offers additional grip positions for a particularly aerodynamic riding position. This is driven by the increasing speeds in cross-country cycling, where aerodynamics are becoming ever more important. The concept is complemented by an integrated display in the head tube area and a frame and fork design optimised for minimal air resistance. The Lux Era is currently being tested by Canyon with athletes and in the wind tunnel, and serves as a technology platform for potential developments in future XC race bikes.
A Brazilian-style race bike: Oggi Cross County racing bike
Oggi Bikes are unlikely to be familiar to many mountain bikers in Germany. At Eurobike in Frankfurt, the Brazilian brand is showcasing an exciting-looking new cross-country full-suspension bike, about which few details are known as yet. Apparently, the bike features a 120-millimetre suspension fork with RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant components and has a storage compartment in the down tube of the carbon frame.
Very British: Orange Clockwork Trail Hardtail
You simply have to admire a British trail hardtail with an old-school paint job. At Eurobike, Orange Bikes is showcasing only the aluminium frame of the Clockwork model. However, compared to its predecessor, it has clearly been significantly redesigned and now looks much more modern. The Orange Clockwork hardtail features 130 millimetres of suspension travel and 29-inch wheels.
Conclusion
Personally, I think it’s important that exciting new MTB products don’t get lost in the frenzy surrounding e-bikes. Unlike at Cyclingworld in Düsseldorf, for example, Eurobike’s product focus this year is once again clearly on motorised bikes. However, from carbon hardtails to innovative enduro bikes, fans of classic mountain bikes can also look forward to some great new products. - Jan Timmermann, BIKE editor
