TRAIL BIKES

- 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.

- HUNT Proven Trail Carbon: very stiff, direct acceleration (2° engagement), high efficiency, but limited comfort and traction.  
- One year endurance test: no damage, perfect concentricity and spoke tension, butter-smooth running bearings, high robustness confirmed.  
- H_Core technology for stability, different rim profiles front/rear, centre lock only, H_Care with lifetime crash replacement and 3-year warranty.

- Levo R Comp Alloy is the aluminium version of the Levo R with 130 mm rear end, 140 mm fork, 3.1 motor (105 Nm) and 840 Wh battery for € 6,499.  
- Compared to the Levo 4, less suspension travel, adapted geometry and 29" wheels for balanced, agile handling on moderate trails.  
- The target group is beginners and riders who don't need extreme downhill potential; aluminium frame, Genie shock, flip chips and Fox/SRAM equipment.

- After 2,000 km and 73,441 metres of downhill riding, the Liv Intrigue X Advanced 1 is extremely robust and versatile.  
- The lightweight, efficient chassis is impressive on the climbs, but downhill it requires more riding skill in the bike park and tends to reach its limits there.  
- Women-specific contact points such as the saddle and grips fit the tester perfectly; the equipment highlight is the reliable Shimano XT brakes.

- 2025 stoppte BMC die Neuentwicklung, pauste die Marke und fokussiert wieder Kernsegmente; Produktion, Service und Teile laufen begrenzt weiter.

- 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.

- Hope, Nukeproof, Haro und Commencal präsentieren neue Trail- und Allmountain-Konzepte, teils mit Carbonrahmen, progressiver Geometrie und Custom-Details.
