Rocky Mountain, Specialized, Cannondale: If you want to buy an expensive bike, you've come to the right place. But nobody would have expected the prices that await you here. The currency crisis is to blame. The euro is weaker than ever before - the dollar, on the other hand, is particularly strong. Back in March of this year, we reported a price increase of five to ten per cent. A new record is now expected for 2016: mountain bikes are set to become 12 to 15 per cent more expensive. We show you the most expensive mountain bikes that will be available on the market in 2016. These models will turn biking into a luxury sport.
These 5 bikes just missed out on our top 10 list:
- BMC Teamelite XTR Di2 for 9999 euros
- Merida Ninety-Six 9000-E for 9999 euros
- Specialised S-Works Stumpjumper HT Carbon Di2 for 9799 euros
- Rotwild GTS inspired by AMG (Limited Edition) for 9990 euros
- Rocky Mountain Instinct 999 MSL for 9900 euros
The most expensive bike in 2016: Haibike Xduro FullSeven Carbon ULTIMATE: 14,999 euros
The most expensive bike for 2016 offers more than any other in this list - namely an electric drive. Like the price of € 14999, this is not everyone's cup of tea, which is why the Haibike Xduro is out of contention. With its full carbon frame, the E-Fully weighs just 17.2 kilos, which is a rarity in this category. The installed components are also quite astonishing: Shifting is done with the electronic Shimano XTR Di2, braking with the Magura MT 8 hydraulic disc brakes, while the Rock Shox SID XX WorldCup with 120 millimetre suspension travel is an extremely lightweight racing fork. The 36 volt Bosch Performance mid-motor with 250 watts was specially developed for the needs of E-MTBs. The battery has 500 watt hours. Pure riding fun for an impressive 14999 euros!
