Media data Ride MTB

"Ride" is the single trail cosmos for mountain bikers. Thanks to its cross-media positioning, the magazine has become the most important route platform in the Alps.

The print version of Ride, which is published six times a year, is still the flagship publication today and is considered a lifestyle magazine among cycling magazines. It is characterized by exceptionally high quality standards. Its uniqueness is reflected in the visual language, design, extensive background reports and high-quality production.

The second media pillar of Ride is the website Ride-mtb.com, which is characterized by a high level of topicality (news) and functionality (tours). The content is linked at several levels and is well positioned thanks to clever SEO and state-of-the-art web technology. The tour database in particular is growing rapidly and forms the sustainable foundation combined with the news and the short-lived topicality.

Ride has won several awards due to its exceptional positioning and successful developments in the reader and advertising market.
