Easy handling, bouncy, balanced, potent, light in setup - the Commençal is a pleasing big bike with a wide range of uses. You certainly can't go wrong with it. All sizes were available at the time of going to press. 29 inch, 200/200 mm, 15.6 kg | commencal-store.com
Trek Session 9 - 6999 Euro
The Session soaks up impacts like a hoover and develops impressive traction. Nevertheless, it doesn't sag or just stick to the ground, but provides the rider with plenty of pop for jumping. Attention: Runs small. Availability depends on the dealer. 29 inch, 200/200 mm, 16.9 kg | available here.
Cube Two15 Race - 3049 Euro
Complete refurbishment a success! We really liked the new Cube Two15. It is trimmed for racing, yet sufficiently manoeuvrable and playful. Our tip for park shredders with a penchant for racing. Availability must be checked with the respective dealer. 27.5 inch, 200/200 mm, 16.9 kg | cube.eu
YT Tues Base - 3499 Euro

The Spindrift is a racy freerider. It rides playfully, is manoeuvrable and has a potent chassis. The equipment with Fox Factory fork and shock is top-notch. You get a lot of bike for your money here. Great: the online configurator. However, not all parts are currently in stock. 29/27.5 inch, 180/180 mm, 15.3 kg | propain-bikes.com
Specialised Enduro S-Works - 10999 Euro
The sinfully expensive Specialized Enduro S-Works is in a league of its own: super potent, good-natured, with plenty of pop. At the same time, it is drive-neutral and a strong climber. In the top version, it is perhaps the best enduro bike in the world! In "cheaper" models, the weight increases rapidly and the bike tends to be sluggish. 29 inch, 170/170 mm, 14.1 kg | specialized.com
Canyon Strive CF 9.0 - 4999 Euro
Super geo, super handling, super riding position, super downhill - the Strive is a hit. Thanks to the patented Shapeshifter, the geo can be trimmed for downhill riding at the touch of a button. Although Canyon has also raised its prices, the price-performance ratio is still acceptable. 29 inch, 160/150 mm, 14.1 kg | canyon.com
Mondraker SuperFoxy CF R - 6199 Euro
The Superfoxy is a racy enduro bike. The bike has a special character thanks to its fast-forward geometry. It masters the balancing act between comfort and sporty, direct riding behaviour superbly.
