By taking part in our reader survey, you’re helping us make ENDURO Magazine even better. What do you want from future mountain bikes? Which components get you stoked – and which ones drive you mad? We want to know!
Head straight to the 2026 reader survey here!
And we’re not the only ones. This survey is one of the most representative in the entire bike industry – and the feedback you give will help brands build better, safer, and smarter bikes. In short: your opinion shapes what ends up on the trails tomorrow – around the world.
Needless to say, your data stays private. We’ll only use your responses anonymously for statistical analysis.
And because we know how valuable your time is, we want to give something massive back. Together with our partners, we’re giving away stunning dream bikes with a total value of over € 10,000! These two highlights are waiting in the prize draw for you:
First up is the Canyon Torque AL 9, a true gravity machine built for the roughest terrain. Whether it’s secret technical trails, massive drops, or endless party laps in the bike park – the Torque simply swallows it all up thanks to its plush travel and robust aluminum frame. Paired with a no-compromise, high-end spec, this bike is ready for any adventure where things get rowdy. The perfect partner in crime for anyone looking to push their absolute limits on the descents!
As our second absolute highlight, the brand-new Propain Hugene 3 CF Ultimate is waiting for you. This carbon trail bike is the definition of a perfect all-rounder: lightning-fast and highly efficient on the climbs, yet playful and incredibly capable on downhills. Thanks to the top-tier Ultimate build, no tuning wish is left unfulfilled. It’s the ultimate bike for epic alpine tours, quick after-work trail sessions, and everything in between!
Head straight to the 2026 reader survey here!
It takes less than 15 minutes to complete, and the survey is open until 31 August 2026.
