Never before from the Megamo Track heard? Time to change that, because the Spaniards have given their race fully a modern makeover for the 2025 model year and are now confidently heading for the German market. The Megamo Track Race is supposed to be fast, powerful, reactive and exciting. If that doesn't sound tempting! Test appearance.

With increased suspension reserves and revised geometry, the Track Race is now a carbon full-suspension bike with 120 millimetres of travel at the front and rear. During the development phase, Megamo was able to rely on the professional input of its own XC World Cup team and aims to have created a cross-country bike that will outshine all other racing bikes both uphill and downhill.

The Megamo Track Race climbs like a one
In the shootout against MMR and Bulls, the Megamo Track quickly makes it clear that there is more behind this claim than just an empty marketing promise.
We really like the riding position. Although the bike has the shortest reach, you sit comfortably stretched and with enough pressure on the front of the bike. Sweet spot!
The low front and the flat carbon handlebar/stem unit make this possible. Paired with the steepest seat angle and the high-traction Pirelli tyres, the Track climbs very confidently off-road.
The rear suspension remains pleasantly smooth even when pedalling out of the saddle and - unlike the Bulls - generates sufficient traction even under chain tension. Top marks! However, the Megamo is at a disadvantage when sprinting to the finish line on tarmac. The featherweight Bulls weighs a whopping 480 grams less. The wheels are also the heaviest in the test and, with the heavy Pirelli tyres, accelerate more slowly than those of the competition.
Great downhill skier - with restrictions
You'll gladly accept this downer on the next downhill at the latest. This is where the Track Race conveys the most confidence, not least because of its tyres. The sensitive, defined Fox suspension and the slack steering angle do the rest and help the Megamo achieve top marks downhill too.
The Track steers downhill in a pleasantly smooth and manoeuvrable manner. At the limits, the favourable riding position provides sufficient freedom of movement, which facilitates control. Also good: the powerful XT braking system from Shimano.
The in-house handlebar/stem unit has been criticised. The monocoque carbon cockpit flexes even more than the already soft control centre of the Bull. This not only inhibits confidence on downhills, but also makes precise steering manoeuvres more difficult and ensures a spongy ride feel as soon as there is a lot of pressure on the front wheel. The adjustment range of the dropper post is short at 125 millimetres. A 150 mm post would look better on a modern cross-country bike. too small
| Category | Note (BIKE) | Pros & cons |
| Driving behaviour | 1,9 | + Balanced handling + Comfortable seating position + Successful chassis - Flexible handlebar-stem unit |
| Laboratory | 2,2 | - Comparatively heavy |
| Equipment | 1,9 | + Sensible equipment - Seatpost travel too low |
| Overall grade | 1,9 |
Conclusion Peter Nilges, BIKE Test Manager
The Megamo Track Race lives up to its marketing claim and outshines the competition, at least in this test. The modern geometry, the successful suspension and the solid tyres make it possible. Add to this the high-quality equipment and the Spaniards snatch the test victory despite the worst laboratory grade. Also good: The lifetime warranty promises long-term riding pleasure.
