The biggest group test in our history – and its winners
Another out-of-office reply?! Fair enough – in January, we may have driven a few colleagues and manufacturers to the brink. You know that feeling when you’re scrolling through Instagram thinking, Damn, everyone’s living their best life – and me? I’m just stuck here and nothing’s happening. Well, that was pretty much the vibe: three weeks out of office. Three weeks in Finale Ligure. Three weeks of auto-replies for anyone who tried to reach us. But relaxing? Switching off? Not exactly.
Instead of desks, we had dust in our teeth, sunscreen in our eyes – and 30 eMTBs between our legs. Among them? Six bikes you couldn’t even Google yet – because they hadn’t been released.



For three weeks, we were in Finale Ligure putting the 30 hottest bikes head-to-head, racking up test miles, climbs, and data – and now, we’re finally ready to share the results.
