- Pivot has permanently reduced the prices of the Shuttle LT; the Pro X0 Eagle Transmission now costs 9,499 instead of 12,299 euros, with entry-level models starting at 6,999 euros.  
- Despite the discount, the Shuttle LT remains a high-priced bike, but offers exceptional ride quality, attention to detail and a robust, customisable suspension system.  
- The most attractive model is the Ride Factory at 7,499 euros, as it offers Factory suspension and GX wireless shifting for a 500-euro surcharge.

- The Mith Race and Race RS both cost 9,995 euros and share the same frame, motor, battery, drivetrain, brakes and wheels.
- The main difference lies in the suspension: the Race features Fox air suspension, whilst the Race RS is fitted with a RockShox Zeb and a Vivid Coil steel spring.
- Fox is regarded as crisp and precise, whilst RockShox is seen as smooth and forgiving; the Race RS looks different and is around 1 kg heavier.

ENDURO Bikes

- Avinox M2S sets a new benchmark for E-MTB motors with its high power, low weight and quiet, slim design.  
- The bikes tested cover a spectrum from light, agile trail bikes (e.g. Tarok, Amflow) to robust, downhill enduro bikes (Propain, YT).  
- Strengths and weaknesses vary: from top suspension and versatility to high price, weight, complexity or noise problems.

- Danny MacAskill mainly uses his Santa Cruz Vala e-MTB because it’s versatile enough for everyday use and playful riding manoeuvres.  
- On the Vala, he opts for a Fox 38 fork, an EXT steel-spring shock, aluminium handlebars, Magura MT7 brakes and a combination of tyres suited to drifting, inflated to around 1.4 bar.  
- He prefers intuitive suspension settings, electronic gear shifting and tubeless tyres, and is not a fan of headset cable routing, inner tubes or the lack of a front mudguard.

- 32-inch wheels are gaining ground in the MTB and gravel sectors, with several manufacturers showcasing prototypes and models that are almost ready for production.
- KTM, Megamo and Dirtysixer are developing 32-inch full-suspension bikes for marathon, cross-country and taller riders, some with adapted suspension and hub standards.
- Avona, Megamo, Berria and Forestal are presenting 32-inch gravel bikes with aero features; Scott’s successful RC Gravel 32 remains officially a prototype.

32-inch hype: the giant bikes from the festival

- Ducati is launching the DM-160 R and DM-170 RR, in-house-developed carbon e-MTBs featuring an Avinox M2S motor and an 800 Wh battery.  
- Three flip-chips allow for adjustment of geometry, suspension progression and wheel size; the DM-160 R is an all-mountain bike, whilst the DM-170 RR is a downhill-oriented enduro bike.  
- Prices: €7,990 (DM-160 R) and €9,490 (DM-170 RR); both will be available from October 2026 via bicycle and Ducati dealers, as well as online.

- MMR Lyth: a sleek 29-inch carbon enduro e-MTB with a 160 mm rear travel, an 800 Wh battery and an Avinox M2S motor delivering up to 150 Nm of boost
- Modern, adjustable geometry with flip-chip, 64–64.8° head angle, 445 mm chainstays; frames in sizes S, M and L designed for technical trails
- Four models ranging from 6,199 to 10,999 euros, all with the same frame, M2S motor and 800 Wh battery; the top-of-the-range model is aimed at weighing under 22 kg

- The Ekano 3 AL offers outstanding downhill performance with a suspension system that absorbs bumps effectively and provides controlled damping for rough enduro terrain.  
- The Avinox motor (M2/M2S) operates quietly, responsively and with great power, thereby addressing the biggest weakness of the previous model.  
- The best value for money is achieved through a standard specification with upgrades to the suspension, brakes and an optional larger 800 Wh battery.

- The Alutech ePelmo X1P utilises Gobao’s new X1P motor-gearbox unit, delivering 150 Nm, up to 1,500 W, a continuously variable gear ratio and a belt drive.
- The robust enduro frame (170 mm travel, Category 5, mullet, adjustable chainstays) has been redesigned for the X1P drivetrain.
- A 750 Wh battery with a fast-charging option and networked control system is put through its paces in real-world testing for efficiency, durability, noise levels and automatic behaviour.

- The Lee Cougan Flö is a 160 mm enduro e-MTB with a carbon frame, mullet setup, Avinox M2S motor (130–150 Nm) and an 800 Wh battery.
- There are two models: the Flö Carbon (€6,899) with SRAM mechanical groupset and ZEB Select, and the Flö Carbon Pro (€8,699) with GX AXS.
- Geometry: 64° head angle, 77° seat angle, reach 443–500 mm, 445 mm chainstays, short seat tubes, high bottom bracket and low stack.

- Universal geometry from the carbon model, mullet wheels, PowerMore option and integrated kickstand mount for all three bikes.
- The AM models are touring-oriented, starting at €4,999, whilst the ED 7.8.1 is a downhill-focused e-enduro with robust suspension, priced at €5,699.

- Since 1991, a variety of mountain bikes have shaped the author’s career, from the rigid Raleigh Tangent to modern enduro bikes such as the Trek Remedy.  
- Technical developments: from rigid frames, V-brakes and short suspension travel to full-suspension freeride and enduro bikes with greater suspension travel and modern geometry.  
- The long-term test bikes are closely linked to journeys, crashes, learning experiences in freeriding and the author’s formative personal memories.
