Preview | ENDURO Issue #014 – The Year of the Heroes

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!

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!

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.


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.

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.

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!

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:
