It’s almost time for the next exciting issue of ENDURO to hit the digital shelves, just a few more days to wait! So it’s high time to give you a short overview of what’s inside the first issue of 2015 – and it’s a lot!

Beim Design & Innovation Award 2015 haben wir die spannendsten Produkte für euch getestet
During the Design & Innovation Award 2015, we tested the worlds most exciting products, just for you

The clear highlight of the coming issue is the announcement of the winners of the Design & Innovation Award 2015. What are the best bikes and products for the coming season? And what new developments can we expect in the next few years? Find out in ENDURO Issue #014!

Welches ist die beste Lampe für die dunkle Jahreszeit? Das erfahrt ihr in der nächsten ENDURO-Ausgabe.
Which is the best bike light for the night-ride season? We found out!

This issue is dedicated to the heroes, those who stand against the cold and rainy weather, turning night into day – or travel to the warmer south. That’s why we went to Scotland to find the best mud tire, to Bavaria to find the strongest headlights and on countless trips to find the safest bike bag in our exciting group tests.

Schottland bot ideale Testbedingungen für den Schlammreifen-Test
Scotland was the perfect testing ground for our mud tire group test
Auch das Ghost Riot musste sich unseren Testern stellen
The Ghost Riot LT had to prove itself too

But of course we didn’t forget about bikes: In addition to the Design & Innovation Award winners, you’ll find reviews of the Ghost Riot LT 8 RC and the Propain Tyee XX1 Race.

Wie sich das knallgrüne Propain geschlagen hat verraten wir in wenigen Tagen in der neuen ENDURO
To find out, how the bright green Propain performed, you just need to read ENDURO – life can be so easy!

But – and that might be a shocker for some of you – it’s not only bikes that are exciting, but also people like you and me! For this reason, we’d like to hear YOUR story! Our new article series “Local Heroes” will tell stories about friendship, hometrails and after-ride fun. This time Brett and Caleb, the creators of SPOKE-Magazine, take us to summery Wellington in New Zealand! Also, we visited SRAM, one of the industries global players in Taiwan for an exciting report.

Zum Start unserer neuen Local Heroes-Serie geht es gleich mal nach Neuseeland!
To kick-off our Local Heroes-Series, we start with a story in New Zealand – not to bad!

You don’t need the summer to have a good time: We spend New Years Day (hangover included) on snow covered trails in the Black Forest and had a total blast – don’t miss the “Bon Voyage & Happy New Year” story!

... doch auch in unseren Breitengraden kann man um diese Jahreszeit richtig Spaß haben!
… but you can have lots of fun riding in the snow too!

We wanted to know what you think, so we asked – and you answered! More than 10,000 participants completed our reader’s survey, unveiling both surprising and interesting facts. It is time to check out the exciting results.

You will find all this, and much more, in ENDURO issue #014; which will be released at the beginning of next week – free and digital as always. In the meantime, you can browse through the 13 other issues – find the apps here:
