ENDURO Mountain Bike Magazine
Since its founding in 2012, ENDURO Magazine has covered the scene and development of Enduro MTB sports. With ENDURO, we inspire the international mountain bike community, deliver the best tests, and shape the future of the sport. You'll increasingly find us on the eMTBs in this magazine, too!

GRAN FONDO is the world's most exciting drop-bar magazine: progressive, open-minded, and unique. Whether it's gravel bikes, race bikes, e-road bikes, or bikepacking – with GRAN FONDO, we set new trends, drive the development of drop-bar bikes, and, above all, have one thing: a damn good time on the bike!
DOWNTOWN Outdoor & Lifestyle Magazine
DOWNTOWN is the magazine for everything exciting that can happen in your life. And just like its readers: confident, progressive, curious, and outdoorsy with a great love for the best bikes, cars, and coolest gadgets – from roof tents to espresso machines, it's all there. Good life combined with the best buying advice for premium products. But that's not all: With our lifestyle and feature stories, we turn your everyday life upside down, provide new inspiration, and broaden your horizons.
E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine
E-MOUNTAINBIKE was the first eMTB magazine and has played a key role in shaping the eMTB market from the very beginning. With visionary articles, unique group tests, and concentrated technical know-how, we set trends, provide inspiration, advance the scene, and help eMTB riders around the globe to make the right purchasing decisions.
“The Oscars of the bike world”
With the Design & Innovation Award (DI.A), we have been honoring the most outstanding products in the bike world every year since 2013. It's the only award that involves real-life product testing and holistic evaluation, resulting in critically substantiated conclusions. Over two weeks each year, an independent international award team comprised of journalists, professional test riders, and industry experts examines the nominees and puts all products through their paces.
The best support for start-ups and companies
When we launched the Cycling Innovation Accelerator (CIA) in December 2022 as the first global platform for startups in the bike world, we were inundated with countless applications. In 2023 alone, over 180 startups applied. But it quickly became clear: every company needs innovation – even established players. As active entrepreneurs with unique industry experience and a network, we want to actively shape the bike world and achieve real results. That's why we pivoted to offer strategic consulting for startups AND established companies.
