Photo: Hersteller With victories in both the marathon and cross-country world championships under Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Jordan Sarrou, as well as the winning era of Julien Absalon, the BMC Fourstroke has long since written itself into the annals of racing history. With its sporty, stretched seating position, integrated Vario support (80 mm travel) and sporty, firm suspension, the Fourstroke is a real speed guarantee for marathon riders. The BMC Fourstroke 01 Three currently costs 4145 euros instead of 4999 euros at Liquid Life *.Photo: Hersteller With plenty of traction uphill and an extra portion of comfort and riding fun downhill: with its balanced geometry, convincing suspension and great handling, the Scalpel not only delivers in tough racing conditions. It is also a top replacement for long single trail tours. The Scalpel Carbon 3 is currently available from Liquid Life for 3995 euros instead of 4699 euros *.Photo: Hersteller The Alpha RoS 2 is tailor-made for sporty riders. The collar flatters the neck, the cuffs are doubled and close the gap to the glove perfectly. The jacket can be adjusted to the outside temperature and training intensity via the sewn-in waistcoat. Climate vents on the shoulder blade, a total of four pockets and top weather protection make it the ideal companion for intensive rides down to below zero degrees. The Castelli Alpha RoS 2 softshell jacket is currently available from Rosebikes for 209 euros instead of 299 euros *.Photo: Hersteller In wet and muddy off-road conditions, it is best to fit a mini mudguard to the fork. The Riesel Design models are available in many different designs. They not only protect the rider, but also the suspension fork from excessive mud. The mini mudguard from Riesel Design is currently on offer at Maciag Offroad for 6.95 euros *.Photo: Hersteller The price-performance winner in our latest comparison test of mobile cleaning appliances! Gloria's Multijet is similar to a cordless screwdriver in terms of handling. The device is somewhat heavy, but sits comfortably in the hand. The battery indicator and pressure adjustment are easy to see. The lance makes handling more difficult, without the extension the Multijet cleans more precisely. Unfortunately, only one of the four spray modes is really useful. On the other hand, coarse dirt is cleared away properly even at pressure level two. The Gloria is extremely self-sufficient and sucks water from any source, even from a PET bottle with the integrated attachment. Particularly practical with the optional 10-litre canister. The MultiJet 18V Gloria is currently 18 % cheaper at Boc24 for 179 euros *.Photo: Hersteller Dirt is the ultimate wear factor for the chain and cassette. We found this out in our extensive drivetrain tests. Some gears crunch after a ride as if they had taken a full bath in the mud. In addition, there is usually road salt whirled up from the road, so that the drivetrain is often already covered in a brown coat of rust the day after the tour. The minimum maintenance after every winter ride should therefore be as follows: Gently rinse off the salt with water and remove the worst of the dirt from the chain. The best way to do this is to use special tools such as the brush set from Park Tool. This currently costs 17 euros instead of 28 euros at Rosebikes *.Photo: Hersteller After washing and drying, you can give your bike a final coat of protective wax (e.g. Dynamic Protective Wax) to prevent mud from building up again en masse on the next tour. A clean cloth helps when applying the wax so that the spray does not damage the brake discs or pads. The cassette is also less likely to become clogged with dirt when treated with a little spray wax and thanks the rider with more precise shifting. The Protective Wax protective wax spray from Dynamic is currently on offer at Rose for €5.95 instead of €9.99 *.Photo: Hersteller Studded tyres such as the Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro are absolute specialists and generate massive grip on frozen or icy surfaces. However, they offer no advantage on fresh snow or muddy surfaces. Our tip: If you have a front wheel for changing, put the spiked tyre on there as an insurance policy for a quick change before the tour. The rear tyre then retains its good rolling properties. Incidentally, particularly soft compounds are not an alternative to studded or standard tyres in winter, as they often harden significantly from around five degrees plus. >> at Rosebikes currently for 49.95 euros instead of 72.90 euros *.Photo: Hersteller Gets to grips with stubborn dirt and is biodegradable. The Peaty's Bike Cleaner is available from Maciag Offroad for 9 euros instead of 11 euros *.Photo: Hersteller Thanks to the huge 20-litre tank, three heavily soiled bikes can be cleaned at a pressure of 10 bar. Powered by twelve volts, the service life is extended enormously. The pump can be removed and draws water from almost any source. The battery is both LED light and power bank. The compact nozzle, which can be adjusted with a twist, also reaches nooks and crannies, but the brush attachment is impractical and splashes a lot of water. The pump lock and transport handle are small, so be careful when handling. The small castors run poorly on loose surfaces. The Aqua2go Pro pressure washer is currently available from Rosebikes for 159 euros instead of 241 euros *.Photo: Hersteller The Winter Specials Active Warm Eco Base Layer Set from Odlo is made from recycled materials and currently costs €87.95 instead of €109.95 *.Photo: Hersteller Overshoes with a thick layer of neoprene to keep your toes and feet dry and warm in sub-zero temperatures and rainy weather. The Ride Winter Overshoes from Gripgrab are currently available at Rosebikes for 29 euros instead of 39 euros *.Photo: Hersteller Can be worn while running in winter or under a helmet: The Mono cap from Löffler currently costs €12.95 instead of €19.95 at Rosebikes *.Photo: Hersteller The name says it all: the ADV SubZero from Craft keeps you warm even when the wind is icy outside. Double knees and a soft brushed inside ensure comfort, mobility and plenty of warmth. The Craft is also highly water-repellent. Their high-cut, easily adjustable waistband, two zip pockets, the reinforced seat area and plenty of reflective material make these trousers a safe bet on very cold and dark winter days. >> currently available from Craft for 72 euros instead of 144 euros *.

Photo: Hersteller Robust shorts for enduro and downhill riders: The iXS Vertic bike shorts are currently heavily discounted at Decathlon - for €53 instead of €119 *.Photo: Hersteller Thanks to a speed sensor, the classic wheel-on-trainer with friction roller can also be used for targeted watt training (Tacx app) and virtual rides. The calculated power values are surprisingly accurate and the ride feel is good - especially when pedalling evenly. The tyre can only slip during acceleration. The brake is controlled by hand using a lever. The simple Tacx trainer is relatively quiet and requires no power. Tacx Boost roller trainer bundle with speed sensor >> at Rosebikes for 229 euros instead of 279 euros *.Photo: Hersteller The Smarttrainer heavyweight has a lot of flywheel mass, which rolls out almost endlessly in freewheel mode. If necessary, the brakes apply mercilessly. A 20 per cent incline can be simulated, the noise level is very low up to medium speeds and the accuracy is fine. In Zwift mode on undulating terrain, the resistance sometimes only adjusts itself after several seconds. At Rosebikes, the Saris H3 Direct Drive Smart Trainer roller trainer currently costs 599 euros instead of 1099 euros *.Photo: Hersteller Your own sweat can damage the bike in a similar way to road salt on the road. The special cover protects the top tube and the control centre, while the mat protects the floor. This means less wiping afterwards. The Tacx Sweat-Set currently costs 27.95 euros instead of 34.99 euros at Rosebikes *.Photo: Hersteller The movable front wheel support transmits steering movements wirelessly to the Zwift world. This allows you to manoeuvre much more realistically on the Zwift MTB track. For tyres up to 56 mm wide. The Elite Sterzo Smart is currently available from Rosebikes for €64.95 instead of €94.95 *.
