Feeling up for Aperol & pizza, an exclusive sneak peek, and some insider tech talk with the key players of the eMTB scene? Then mark your calendar for next Thursday, April 10! Our exclusive Sneak Peek Party kicks off at 6 PM in Leonberg, just outside Stuttgart – and we want you, our reader, to be there.
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.
We’re giving away a total of 5 exclusive spots to our readers – apply now for a chance to join us!
