Cube Stereo ONE22 HPC TM
The Cube One22 HPC is a classic on tour. It is light and manoeuvrable. The Cube masters undulating single trails and twisty courses with ease, and short counter-climbs are easy to roll down. The suspension is also more potent than the filigree bike suggests.

Conclusion on the Cube One22 HPC TM 29 by Stefan Frey, BIKE editor:
Cube delivers a tourer with classic virtues: light, manoeuvrable, comfortable. The geometry with a slack seat angle looks a little old-fashioned. The rear triangle wastes potential both on climbs and descents.

Scor 2030 X01
The Scor 2020 X01 doesn't master any discipline perfectly, but overall it fulfils the requirements of a high-end trail bike in an exemplary manner. On tour, the propulsion and climbing characteristics are pleasing, and the 2030 is also a lot of fun downhill despite its special geometry - top score in the test.

Conclusion on the Scor 2030 X01 by Max Fuchs, BIKE test editor
Although the Scor does not master any discipline perfectly, overall it fulfils the requirements of a trail bike the best and thus secures the test victory. On tours, the propulsion is pleasing and the climbing characteristics leave little to be desired. Downhill, the 2030 keeps the fun factor high despite its special geometry and provides sufficient safety on demanding trails.

Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC TM
The Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 is an absolute classic among all-round e-bikes. The geometry is moderate and fully trimmed for comfort. The huge Kiox 500 display from Bosch, which provides a lot of information in a clear and easy-to-read format, including navigation features, is a perfect match. All-round strength and a full bouquet of features take precedence over extreme sportiness on this bike.

The EMTB verdict on the Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC TM
Experienced trail experts might turn up their noses - but for everyone else, Cube has put together an outrageously comfortable package.

Bergamont Hans-E
One size fits all also applies here, even if you sit upright and comfortably throughout. Suspension comfort can only be expected from the thick tyres, while the ergonomics on the handlebars are thoroughly convincing. The handling of the little one from St. Pauli: very secure ride, good directional stability, balanced cornering. The Bosch Performance Line responds finely and works dynamically.
>> You can find the complete test report here: Compact e-bike with potential - the Bergamont Hans-E on test
Conclusion on the Bergamont Hans-E by Georg Bleicher, MYBIKE test editor
The Hans-E is a compact bike for the city with a lot of compact, transport and space-saving potential. We would have preferred a hub gear - but this would probably no longer be feasible at this price. Caution: Pay attention to the payload! - Georg Bleicher, test editor

Topeak PrepStand Pro assembly stand
The Topeak classic is quickly set up thanks to large, stable quick-release clamps and high-quality materials and then stands very securely with a wide tripod with solid rubber coating. The boom can be folded down easily, but it warps significantly under load. The somewhat angular clamp closes very slowly and is often a little stiff. The Pro version comes with integrated, precise scales. If you want to save 60 euros, go for the Elite version with a small parts compartment. A transport bag is included in the set.

Supernova M99 Mini Pro
When it comes to high beam, the Supernova M99 Mini Pro headlight is second to none. The upward beam angle is almost twice as high as that of its competitors - despite the suspension fork dipping down, you have everything in view. The light patterns of the low beam and high beam are very similar. Both have a very bright, homogeneous centre. However, the modes differ significantly in terms of luminosity. The peripheral areas are pleasantly bright. The Freiburg lights are on a par with Lupine when it comes to illumination in bends. Very pleasant low beam.
- High beam: Lumen measured: 1244
- Low beam: Lumen measured: 416
Valuation
- Efficiency: 10 out of 10
- High beam: 10 out of 10
- Low beam: 9 out of 10

Schwalbe Magic Mary Superground / Big Betty Supertrail
Schwalbe's Magic Mary supertrail tyres have shed 200 grams compared to the last test. Also new: the Magic Mary in the thinner Superground version. Anyone looking for a lightweight front tyre with top traction and good cornering grip will find this enduro tyre hard to resist. Especially as the rolling resistance is also at a very good level.
The Big Betty on the rear wheel could not quite keep up in the practical test. Overall, this combination offers a good compromise between weight, puncture protection and riding characteristics. The front tyre with its aggressive tread also works excellently on deep ground.

Northwave Celsius XC Arctic GTX
The best weather protection for your feet in winter is the winter shoe. We recommend the mountain bike shoe with a treaded sole because of its better walking properties on slippery surfaces. The Northwave Celsius XC Arctic GTX scored excellent marks in the categories of waterproofness, handling, features and weight. As the shoe offers comparatively much space on the inside, it is not too tight even with thick socks. Slipping into the shoe through the tubular upper is best done with a shoehorn.

Kryptonite Evolution 790 folding lock
There is nothing to criticise about the Kryptonite folding lock. The solid and easy-to-use bracket can be attached to the frame at many points, and the locking process is permanently smooth. A 360-degree rotating head makes it easier to bring the lock together. Six fully rubberised links allow flexible connection options and prevent scratches on the frame. The bike lock could not be picked with any of the standard methods in the time available.

Eufab LAS SD 260 bike rack for trailer coupling
The Eufab SD260 solves a fundamental problem: with the extendable bike carrier for the trailer coupling, the boot always remains accessible - even in camping vans with hinged doors! It fulfils its primary job as a bike carrier safely and reliably, even under the toughest conditions. The pull-out function is simple and effectively creates space for large rear doors. Considering the wide range of applications, the price is also reasonable.
