The development in recent years has brought some new technical achievements. First and foremost is the introduction of 29 inch wheels in the mountain bike segment. Racing bikes have also evolved, becoming lighter and more aerodynamic over time. Nowadays, there is a great diversity of bikes. We give you here a rough overview of all bike categories and their Eisatzzweck.

The all-rounder - The trekking bike
The so-called trekking bikes are designed for longer tours on different terrain. This makes them flexible and combines their characteristics of sportiness and comfort.
