Spring is approaching and many manufacturers need space in their warehouses for their new models. That's good news for you, because bike companies are now offering big discounts. Not all frame sizes are always available, but it's very possible that you'll find the right model for you. We've scrolled through the web and put together the best offers for you.
Whether model year 2025 or 2026 rarely plays a major role - this is exactly where you can save money. Often the differences do not affect the frame itself, but only minor changes to the components or colour design.
Bike with discounts of up to 50 per cent. We take a closer look at the offers.
The Orbea Rise made light e-MTBs really attractive for many and set a clear exclamation mark at its debut. For the 2025 model year, Orbea has significantly developed the concept further: a more powerful motor, larger batteries and an LT version with more suspension travel mark the biggest step in the model's history. At the same time, tried and tested features have been retained - such as the specially tuned Shimano motor, the extensive options in the configurator and the 29-inch wheel set-up.
The 2025 model in stylish Desert Rose is currently on offer. There's a whole 46 per cent discount here. Instead of 6999 euros you only have to pay 3799 euros, but currently only the frame size L is available >> Click here for the offer.

With 110 millimetres at the front and 80 millimetres at the rear, Superkaliber from the US label is clearly a race fully. Striking: the stylishly concealed shock positioned under the top tube. The SL version with Shimano 12-speed drivetrain, Shimano MT500/MT501, Bontrager components, RockShox Recon Gold RL fork and RockShox SIDLuxe IsoStrut shock.
There is a 48 per cent discount in the online offer. Instead of 3999 euros, you only have to pay 2099 euros. Even M, ML and L frames are currently still available. >> Click here for the offer.
In terms of geometry and kinematics (high-pivot!), the bike is just as closely modelled on the classic Slash without a motor. With more suspension travel and a higher battery capacity, the Slash+ is aimed at fans of the minimal-assist category who don't want to make any compromises on the descents. The tried and tested TQ HPR-50 does a great job. The model on offer also comes with the classy Ultimate suspension from RockShox, SRAM Maven Silver brakes, Mullet tyres and a SRAM X0 Eagle AXS 12-speed drivetrain.
The former RRP is a whole 11,999 euros. The bike is now only available in frame size S, where you can get a discount of 7500 euros. At €4499, the Trek Slash+ 9.9 AXS is a real bargain. However, you will have to do without the revised TQ HPR-60 >> Click here for the offer.
The One44 SLT is likely to command respect from the competition: 16.2 kilos, a complete XTR groupset, lots of carbon components and the powerful Bosch SX with a 400 watt-hour battery. With high-quality Factory suspension elements and equipment clearly designed for downcountry riding, this bike is trimmed for maximum trail fun from top to bottom. The only thing you need to be able to handle is the Rekon Race on the rear wheel. As with all other variants, a range extender can also be fitted to the SLT - with an impressively low overall weight.
There is a 25 per cent discount in this offer. The good news is that all current frame sizes are still available. 5980 euros instead of 7999 euros. Got interested? Then check out the detailed test:

PDQ stands for "Pretty Damn Quick". The organic speedster evokes the feeling of the good old days - when hardtails for around 1000 euros were an integral part of MTB culture. Actually, the entry-level model doesn't quite make it to the 1000 euro mark, regularly starting at 1199 euros. But currently you can actually get the AL 1 for the aforementioned 1000 euros >> Click here for the offer.
The bike does not dispense with modern features such as 29-inch wheels, a twelve-speed drivetrain and versatile geometry with 120 millimetres of suspension travel. Whether it's a weekend trip or your first big trail tour: the inexpensive hardtail with aluminium frame and functional equipment should be a real all-rounder. Suspension travel: 120 mm ; Frame material: aluminium ; Weight: from 14.3 kg
Whether PDQ AL 1 or PDQ AL 2 - Rose has currently reduced both models by 100 euros. That may not sound like much at first, but with a total price of around 1000 euros, it's a lot. All frame sizes are currently available.
