Maxx FAB.4 ELA mit Avinox M2S: Bayerisches E-Enduro mit Wechsel-Akku & Wunschlackierung

Teewing Flux One: High-pivot powerhouse wants to shake up the E-Enduro class

- Nomad 7: 170 mm enduro bike with MX wheels, revised VPP kinematics for more sensitivity and traction, flip chip for two geometries
- CC carbon frame in five sizes with lifetime warranty, weight-optimised, integrated glovebox V2 and accessory mounts on the top tube
- Five equipment variants from € 6299 to € 10,199, top model approx. 15.3 kg, updates tend to be detail adjustments rather than major leaps in innovation

Enduro bike without an engine: better shooting with the Santa Cruz Nomad 7?

- With the Avinox M2S (1500 W, 150 Nm), DJI is pushing ahead with the power arms race, which, according to the author, is hardly useful off-road.  
- The excessive motor power overtaxes e-MTBs, worsens handling, drains the battery quickly and encourages inefficient riding.  
- Instead of more power, the author calls for lighter, smaller, quieter motors with approx. 85 Nm, efficient 700 Wh batteries and more harmonised overall systems.

E-bikes on a power trip: "Come on Avinox, that's better!"

- Amflow PR Carbon: new e-MTB with 800 Wh removable battery, quick-charging function (12 A on the Pro), 22 kg total weight and carbon frame from 2.9 kg.  
- Two versions: PR Carbon with M2 motor (125 Nm, 1100 W, € 4,499) and PR Carbon Pro with M2S (150 Nm, 1500 W, € 5,899).  
- Suspension: 160/150 mm, mullet wheels, 40 geometry options; electronic S1000 drivetrain, availability from the end of 2026 according to the text.

Amflow PR Carbon: Affordable Avinox e-MTBs with removable battery presented!

- Pivot Shuttle AMP'd combines a 1300-watt DJI Avinox M2S motor with a permanently installed 800 Wh battery in a lightweight, slim carbon chassis.
- Suspension with 160/150 mm, DW-Link, mullet setup and flip chip delivers high traction, confidence and fun on trail and enduro tracks.
- Strengths: Benchmark motor, strong chassis, 149 kg payload; weaknesses: fixed battery, motor rattles, very high prices up to 13,999 euros.

Liv Embolden: Fresh cell treatment for the organic trail bike for women

- New Giant Stance (model 2026) with 140/130 mm travel, modernised geometry and a focus on trail-oriented control and stability.  
- FlexPoint rear end and Giant STL 34 fork with Twin Air system offer sensitive response, high support and token-adjustable progression.  
- Great value for money at € 1,999, but compromises on gearing, brakes and wheels compared to more expensive trail bikes.

TRAIL BIKES

- YT returns after the insolvency phase with the E-Enduro Decoy X, aluminium frame, 170/160 mm travel and Avinox M2S motor with 1300 watts
- Geometry close to the lightweight Decoy SN: short 442 mm chainstays, playful, good directional changes, less "tractor", launch edition with Fox Podium fork
- Powerful motor and intuitive handling enable technical uphill play, turning climbs into a "freeride" playground with the right riding technique

Ride report YT Decoy X: Comeback with high voltage

ENDURO Bikes

- Hardtails offer more control, traction and comfort on forest paths, rough gravel, roots and easy trails, often resulting in higher average speeds.  
- Wider MTB tyres, flat handlebars and suspension fork ensure stability, directional stability, fatigue reduction and greater safety reserves on rough terrain.  
- Gravel bikes have an advantage on tarmac and firm gravel, on long, even routes and when aerodynamics and a sporty position are the focus.

Buying advice: Why an MTB hardtail can be the better alternative to a gravel bike

- Roko 24 Trail: 24" children's hardtail weighing 8.8 kg, aluminium frame, 80 mm air suspension fork, 10 gears, for approx. 115-135 cm tall, price 1,069 euros.  
- In the test: very good handling, functioning suspension fork from approx. 22 kg, efficient on trails and longer distances, but not optimised for bike parks and jumps.  
- Strengths: lightweight construction, balanced geometry and all-round suitability; weaknesses: long, difficult to adjust brake levers and somewhat sluggish Microshift gears.

Roko Bike 24 Trail: Lightweight children's MTB for off-road adventures

- MMR KIBO 24 is a 24-inch children's MTB for 8 to 12-year-olds, priced at 649 euros in the entry to mid-range segment.
- Child-friendly, newly developed geometry and customised components are designed to promote control, ergonomics and safe handling for young riders.
- The absence of a suspension fork and telescopic seat post keeps the weight and price low; suitable for everyday use and first off-road adventures, but not a specialised race bike.

HARDTAIL Bikes

- Stahlrahmen gelten als langlebig, komfortabel und haben einen emotionalen Wert, sind aber im Vergleich zu Aluminium und Carbon weniger verbreitet.
- Der Bau eines Stahlrahmens erfordert präzises Handwerk, wobei individuelle Anpassungen und die Wahl der Legierung entscheidend sind.
- Stahl ist gut recycelbar und reparierbar, jedoch anfällig für Rost, besonders in salzhaltigen Umgebungen, und benötigt daher spezielle Pflege.

15 hardtails in a weight comparison: Light is cool!

- 32-Zoll-Laufräder etablieren sich als Trend im MTB-Bereich und halten nun auch im Gravel-Segment Einzug, trotz begrenzter Teile-Verfügbarkeit.  
- Auf der Cyclingworld wurden mehrere 32"-Gravelbikes und (E-)MTBs von Marken wie MiTech, Chiru, Bike Ahead, Schwalbe, Sour und Alutech gezeigt.  
- Viele gezeigte 32"-Bikes sind noch Prototypen oder Einzelstücke, doch die Entwicklungen deuten auf weiteres Wachstum dieses Standards hin.

- Canyon-Profis gewannen beim Cape Epic 2026 drei Etappen auf Prototypen des neuen Lux World Cup und erreichten Platz drei in der Gesamtwertung.
- Der Prototyp nutzt 29-Zoll-Laufräder, während andere Teams bereits 32-Zoll-Bikes verwenden, was einen aktuellen Trend im Cross Country Racing darstellt.
- Ein neues Anti-Squat Flip-Chip-System ermöglicht präzise Anpassungen des Fahrwerks, ohne die Geometrie oder das Federungsverhalten zu verändern.

- Fast jedes funktionierende Fahrrad eignet sich fürs Bikepacking, entscheidend sind Einsatzzweck, Route und passende Ausrüstung.  
- Route und Rad müssen zusammenpassen: Rennrad für Asphalt, Gravelbike für gemischtes Terrain, Mountainbike für grobe, steile Strecken.  
- Vor der Tour sind Fahrrad-Check (Bremsen, Reifen, Schaltung, Kette, Befestigungen) und eine zuverlässige, komfortable Radkonfiguration zentral.
