Do you want to test the hottest bikes and the most exciting innovations of the 2016 season – on the best trails of the Alps? Do you want to take a look behind the scenes of ENDURO mountainbike magazine and enjoy the finest South Tyrolean food? Then you should mark the date 4th – 11th October in your calendars, because we offer you the opportunity to accompany us to South Tyrol.
Become a part of the Enduro Mag Crew for a week!
In cooperation with the holiday region South Tyrol we offer you the exclusive opportunity to look behind the scenes of ENDURO mountain bike magazine and actively assist the design of issue # 019. You will get to test and discuss the latest products, and take part in an awesome photo shoot. You will also be featured in an article reporting the experience in the upcoming issue. Experience our testing process firsthand and gather valuable setup tips and tricks – perfect for your own bike.
The perfect trip: fun, adventure & action – join our holiday with ENDURO mountain bike magazine in the beginning of October!
To push the bikes right to the edge we use shuttles for even more descent time!
Join the team from ENDURO mountain bike magazine, including Christoph Bayer and some of the best test riders from South Tyrol – where you can explore the best trails and test the bikes extensively.
The Bikehotel Steineggerhof near Bolzano is especially quiet and offers a breathtaking view of the Dolomites. Here biking is lived. The owner Kurt Resch knows the local trails better than almost any other and will go riding with you on the guided tours. For over 17 years, Kurt offers bike tours and has guided countless professionals and beginners on the best local trails. A safe and well-equipped bike workshop space in the hotel is included to give you the chance to set up your bike perfectly.
An incredibly diverse singletrack network runs through the holiday region of Val d’Ega. During the week we will be going to the most spectacular routes around the Dolomites mountains Rosengarten, Latemar and Schlern. We will use bike taxis and cable cars as climbing aids as often as possible but you have to be prepared to ride steep uphills or carry your bike on some of the tours. Lonely Trails and a gorgeous panorama needs some work!
There will be around 50 km of riding and 1000m climbing on some days, and at times you will have to be prepared to carry your bike for 300m vertical meters. This Bike-Week is not for amateurs, and the downhills will be very technical and demanding at times.
Ideally, you ride a trail bike (approximately 140-160 mm of travel) with good wheels and tires. Light protective equipment (knee pads) are required. Knee and shin guards can be hired from the hotel Steineggerhof.
