Magura is going on tour and bringing technical expertise directly to mountain bikers. With the "Brakes & Bites" bike park tour, the company is visiting five selected bike parks in central and northern Germany between August and September. The free events are intended to give anyone interested the opportunity to learn more about the correct adjustment, maintenance and care of their Magura brakes. In addition to technical workshops and joint rides with professional athletes, the company will also cater for the physical well-being of workshop participants with free snacks and drinks vouchers for local bike park catering outlets.
Brake expertise on site
The workshops are aimed at both beginners and experienced riders who want to get the most out of their brakes. Special workshops are held twice a day, in which the experts give maintenance tips and demonstrate tuning options. The service is open to all owners of Magura brakes. However, products from other manufacturers are logically not included.
News and joint excursions
In addition to technical support, the tour also offers the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the latest Magura products. Above all around the new Gustav and Gustav Pro brakes, and the new Louise and the Quick Connect system. A special highlight at selected locations are the joint rides with Magura-sponsored athletes. In Albstadt, the home venue for MAGURA, and in Schöneck, so-called "Ride Outs" are offered. Here, participants can explore the trails together with professionals such as Eric Junker and receive valuable tips on riding technique and optimal brake use. This combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application is designed to offer a comprehensive experience and improve performance on the trail.
Six dates for the season finale
The "Brakes & Bites" tour comprises a total of six dates, mainly in the north and centre of Germany. The tour kicks off at the Hahnenklee Bike Park in the Harz Mountains on 23 August 2025, followed by the nearby Sankt Andreasberg Bike Park on 24 August. Workshops with Marcel Barth will be offered on both days. One week later, on 31 August, the tour will make a stop at Bikepark Albstadt, Magura's home base. Here, visitors can expect workshops as well as group rides on the Swabian Alb. At the beginning of September, the tour will then head to the Bikepark Willingen, where workshops will be held on 6 and 7 September. The final event will be Bikepark Schöneck on 27 September, where workshops and ride outs with Eric Junker will be on the programme.
