- T-900: comfortable steel frame, low-maintenance Gates belt, efficient Rohloff hub, powerful brakes, versatile use ranging from commuting to touring  
- Criticisms: narrow tyres with little tread, rattling SKS mudguards, high price tag despite the components not all being of the highest quality  
- The 15 kg weight and lack of a suspension fork are in keeping with this purist, sporty touring bike; only suitable to a limited extent for round-the-world trips involving camping

- The Axess Creed CF Pro carbon gravel bike offers a stiff, comfortable frame and a 24-speed double chainring drivetrain at a very low price.  
- Weighs just under 10 kg thanks to the double chainring drivetrain and robust aluminium wheels; maximum load capacity 110 kg; the frame is very stiff and stable.  
- Minor shortcomings regarding cable routing, saddle clamping and brake discs, but overall well-balanced geometry and good handling on gravel and trails.

​Axess Creed CF Pro review: Great value for money at 1,800 euros

- A fire broke out at Atherton Bikes’ headquarters in Machynlleth, Wales; the fire service brought the blaze under control and no one was injured.
- The extent of the damage is still unclear; Atherton expects disruptions to production and deliveries, but no details on delays are available.
- Estimated dispatch dates are not yet confirmed; affected customers will be informed directly; the cause and extent of the damage are unknown.

- More and more e-MTBs are combining DJI/Avinox motors (particularly the M2 and M2S) with removable 600–800 Wh batteries, available as hardtails, touring bikes or full-suspension enduro bikes.  
- The Avinox replaceable battery (800 Wh) weighs 4.1 kg, which is heavier than many of its competitors; Rotwild, with its own 864 Wh battery, offers more capacity at around 3.7 kg.  
- Prices range from the comparatively affordable Amflow TL/PR and Kellys/Megamo to expensive, lightweight carbon models from Maxx and Rotwild.

- Obscur, a new French brand with a background in carbon fibre, presents the Enyx e-MTB, featuring a frame developed in-house and a specialised battery.  
- The removable 840 Wh battery is said to weigh just 3,150 g; it sits low within the frame, is made from recycled carbon and, according to the manufacturer, is both fast-charging and repairable.  
- It is powered by the Intradrive GD8 with an integrated 8-speed gearbox and electronic gear shifting; an all-mountain setup with mullet wheels and 160/150 mm of suspension travel.

Obscur Enyx with Intradrive GD8: This e-bike is truly exceptional

Mountain bike

- All-road bikes combine sporty geometry with everyday practicality, accommodate wide tyres and offer comfort on tarmac and light off-road terrain.  
- They differ from gravel and trekking bikes in their focus on efficiency, a more upright riding position and options for mudguards, lights and luggage racks.  
- Prices start at around 1,500 euros; they are versatile all-rounders, but are neither as fast as road bikes nor as capable off-road as gravel or mountain bikes.

All-road bikes: One bike to rule them all – really?

- From February 2027, Centurion will be launching two Speeddrive models featuring Bosch’s new Hub-Line hub motor (45 Nm, up to 400 W, approx. 2.3 kg) for urban use.  
- The Speeddrive R600 features a removable 360 Wh battery (Bosch: approx. 89 km in Eco mode), a motor that disengages completely at speeds over 25 km/h, and smart app functions.  
- Two frame designs (Diamant, step-through) are each priced at 2,499 euros and are aimed at connected city e-bikes with motor assistance suitable for everyday use.

CENTURION Speeddrive R600: City bike with Bosch’s first hub motor – two frames, one price

- Bosch’s new Hub Line hub motor enables significantly more affordable e-bikes from well-known brands in the €2,000–2,500 price range.
- The Hub Line offers sufficient power for everyday use and city riding, but is less powerful when pulling away, on hills and on long rides.
- It is expected that by 2027 it will become clear whether the concept of performance tailored to specific needs will prevail over powerful mid-drive motors.

A paradigm shift in e-bikes: Why branded bikes are becoming so affordable right now

City Bikes

- The Cube Nuroad Race FE combines a full range of features suitable for everyday use with sporty geometry and is regarded as a versatile, reliable companion.  
- The Shimano GRX double-chainring drivetrain, 45 mm Schwalbe G-One Overland 365 tyres and a weight of 12.7 kg ensure a wide range of uses, though it lacks that classic racing feel.  
- A high-quality lighting system (100 lux), an Ortlieb QL3.1 luggage rack, long mudguards and a price of 1,599 euros combine to form a package that is considered good value for money.

- Campus E:vo is a customisable, low-maintenance e-bike with a modular design and a higher price point.
- The 3x3 Six gear hub is being used in a production bike for the first time, offering six low-maintenance gears and an eShift option.
- Comfort, ergonomics and gear ratios are impressive; points of criticism include the PX motor without a freewheel, noise from the hub and the high overall price.

Campus E:vo Allround review: an everyday hero with straps and a gear hub

- The Kettwiesel Two is a full-suspension electric parallel tandem tricycle with a Bosch motor, designed for people with varying physical abilities.

- Swivelling, individually adjustable seats and a wide range of accessories (e.g. harnesses, footrests, wheelchair transport) are designed to ensure a high level of accessibility.

Trekking bikes

- With the Aix carbon gravel bike, Gothic Cycles has developed a bespoke niche bike with a dark, Gothic aesthetic.
- The Aix combines mechanical expertise, tried-and-tested standards, compact geometry, 50/45 mm tyre clearance and a starting price of around 3,680 euros.
- Every Aix is configured and painted to the customer’s specifications, featuring designs that can be quite extreme, with worldwide shipping and a lead time of around three months.

Gothic Aix Gravel Bike: Design at the intersection of light and shadow

- Gravel bikes allow for high commuting speeds; race gravel bikes are the fastest in the author’s personal statistics.
- Simply saving time is not enough: fatigue, safety, posture, comfort and the ability to carry luggage all limit the speed at which one can ride on a daily basis.
- Aerodynamics become important at speeds of around 20–25 km/h; from 30 km/h onwards, air resistance becomes the dominant factor and simultaneously increases the risk of accidents on the road.

The benefits of a gravel bike for commuting: get to work quickly

- Chiru Vagus:i titanium gravel bike: featuring an integrated design, a Grade 9 titanium frame (approx. 1,620 g) and a total weight of around 7.8 kg.  
- Two fork options: Enve for tyres up to 50 mm (sporty, direct) or CEC #425W for tyres up to 60 mm (greater comfort and reserves).  
- Rear tyre clearance up to 700×52C; ideal tyre sizes 45–52 mm at the rear and 50–55 mm at the front; frame set from €3,345; sizes XS–XL; delivery from February 2027.

- 2027 Litening Aero: lighter frame and fork (approx. 150 g), up to 34 mm tyre clearance, redesigned front end offering, according to Cube, an aero advantage of up to 6.2 watts.  
- Key consideration: Those who do not need wide tyres will benefit from the discount on the 2026 model; both generations offer excellent value for money.

- The Falcn RS 2.0 is a completely new design: a lightweight aero all-rounder that bridges the gap between a climbing bike and an aero road bike, developed in collaboration with Uno-X Mobility.

- The Aernario.3 sits between a high-end competition racer and a sporty endurance bike, featuring a lightweight, minimalist design.  
- Unusual spec: older mechanical Shimano 105, very light time-trial carbon wheels, low weight, agile, at times twitchy handling.  
- Good comfort from the seatpost, but narrow 28 mm tyres, limited tyre clearance, no luggage rack or mudguard mounts; entry-level price from 3,199 euros.

- The bike can be dismantled, fits in a car boot, has a large turning circle, high stability, standard lighting, a luggage rack and well-designed accessories.

Urban Fahrradbau Strada Magic: Cycling safely in pairs

- Autumn clothing should be versatile: several thin layers rather than one thick jacket; layers that are easy to put on and take off.  
- Make use of existing sportswear: a functional shirt, a thin long-sleeved top, a wind vest, and a rain jacket if needed; Cotton is unsuitable for longer rides.  
- Expensive specialist kit isn’t essential: shorts are often sufficient; wear knee-length trousers or long trousers in cold weather; thin long-fingered gloves are enough for many autumn rides.

Cycling kit for autumn: what beginners really need in changeable weather

- Decathlon and MediaMarktSaturn are expanding their store-in-store concept in 2026 with four new outlets in Bremen, Berlin, Weilheim and Salzgitter.

Road safety: these accessories will make you really stand out

Buying advice

- The E Three 500 features a larger battery, a slightly more powerful motor, a new colour display with USB and PIN lock, and an upgraded lighting system.  
- The B’Clip system makes the luggage rack modular; accessories can be changed quickly, but – like the front rack – must be purchased separately.  
- Improvements have been made despite fewer gears (6 instead of 8) and a less powerful front headlight; however, it now features a brake light, a more durable plastic cover and a lower price.
