The 2026 racing season is just around the corner, and Bixs is realigning its teams. With a new name, an optimized structure, and clear competitive goals, the Bixs Race Team is kicking off the new season. The team, which competed under the name Bixs Performance Race Team until 2025, will now unite the three disciplines of cross-country, enduro, and gravel under one roof.

With the new Traverse X, Bixs is expanding its adventure gravel family with a bike that aims to pick up gravel riders exactly where real freedom begins. Reduced to the essentials, robustly built and ready for anything that takes you outside - whether it's a short escape after work or an adventure lasting several days to clear your head.

After an impressive season with 13 victories, 32 podium finishes, the European Short Track Championship title and two top ten results at the home World Championships in Crans-Montana (4th Luca Schätti, 8th Ramona Forchini), the Bixs Performance Race Team (BPRT) can look back on a successful year. With tenth place in the UCI team rankings, the four-year "Mission 25" came to a remarkable conclusion. Now the team is looking ahead. The next big goal is the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles!

Whether on the trail or on the road, Bixs offers functional clothing in the style of the Bixs racing teams' clothing. It's not just about racing: It's about the feeling of being outdoors. The moment when you ride up the first climb, feel the wind in your face or hear the gravel under your tires. It's about movement, about freedom - and about being able to rely on the essentials. For anyone who likes being in the saddle or simply wants to be part of the Bixs crew.

The riders of the Bixs Performance Race Team have already successfully ridden the prototypes in the Cross-Country World Cup, and now it's official: the new Bixs Pace is here. With a frame weight of 1.6 kilograms, 116 millimetres of rear suspension travel and a low-maintenance rear triangle, Bixs is focusing on uncompromising efficiency and lightweight construction with the Pace. Developed to keep up with the front runners in the World Cup, it combines innovative geometry with well thought-out detailed solutions.

The new e-trail bike from Bixs is made in Switzerland: from the development to the solid, conservative equipment and parts from Swiss manufacturers. It combines a large motor with a small battery and otherwise relies on tried and tested components.

Is a 40 percent discount the lifebelt of a bike company or a nail in its coffin? Is it permissible to profit from the raging discount battle? Ride editor Stefan Michel asks the industry and gets clear answers.

Ramona Forchini was one of the victims of the team debacle surrounding Pirmin Lang. Virtually overnight, the multiple world champion found herself without a team. In other words: without a salary and without a starting license. Now the tide has turned. The BiXS team has included her in the squad at short notice.

The talented Swiss cross-country rider Luca Schätti is now part of the Bixs Performance Race Team. He will make his debut in the new colors on 09 March 2025 at the Swiss Bike Cup in Lugano.

Bixs has further developed its "Traction FS" kids mountain bikes and is setting new standards in terms of agility and robustness with these models.

What an e-mountain bike! The carbon frame of the Bixs Sign-E combines lightness with maximum stiffness. Short chainstays in combination with a weight from 18.6 kg enable playful, intuitive handling that is otherwise only known from a non-motorized trail bike.

Bixs, the bike manufacturer from Sursee, is not only doing really well on the race track. A breath of fresh air is also blowing in the sale of bicycles. For example, a bicycle sales area recently opened in Basel that focuses entirely on Bixs bikes.

The BiXS Performance Race Team (BPRT) is starting its third cross-country season in 2024 with a new, fresh look in line with the new BiXS image. With the team's internal "Mission 25" in sight, the successful participation in the Mountain Bike World Championships in Valais 2025, the team will reach a decisive milestone this year: qualification for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, which will be decided at the first three World Cup races.

Dario Linder could actually set up his studio at the Cape of Good Hope. Because his new guest, cross-country athlete Marcel Guerrini, is in South Africa for training reasons - just like Alessandra Keller before him. Guerrini is exceptional in several respects: he had hairy legs and rode into the top 30 at a World Cup race despite starting in 120th place.

The BIXS Performance Race Team (BPRT) has announced the departure of NoÎlle Buri. The talented cross-country mountain biker has enjoyed great success over the past two seasons. The 22-year-old athlete from Oberburg is now leaving the team at her own request to take on new challenges.

On the race track, Bixs team rider Marcel Guerrini successfully rides into the spotlight. And to match this, Guerrini's Bixs bike is also appearing in a new light: the brand image has a completely new look - in combination with a goal for the home World Championship in 2025.

In the sport of mountain biking, there are numerous initiatives to promote young talent in the cross-country sector. But what about riders who are interested in other categories? This is where the BiXS Traction Crew launched by BiXS comes in: The initiative aims to offer young mountain bikers without a fixed discipline a platform to promote their skills.

Cross-country rider Seraina Leugger from Arlesheim joins the BiXS Performance Race Team. Leugger will make her debut at the CIC ON Swiss Bike Cup in Gränichen on March 19, 2023.

The Thurgau cross-country specialist Steffi Häberlin is leaving the "BiXS Performance Race Team" at the end of the year. However, she will continue to compete in national and international mountain bike races.

A late shift has many advantages: sleeping in, enjoying the day, preferably on a mountain bike. But what if you forget the time? In "Late for Work Vol.2", Swiss freerider Louis Eisenhut starts another race against time, this time with a lot of air under his cleats.

You only discover the weak points of a product when you push it beyond its limits. True to this approach, BiXS is back in downhill racing with its own bikes for the first time in over 15 years. The downhill prototype is based on the "Lane" enduro model. The main objectives of the project with the Beyond Racing Team are therefore research and development.

After his retirement, Lukas Flückiger did not want to reveal his plans for 2022. BiXS is now presenting the new "BiXS Performance Race Team", which will start Mission 25 with four riders and Flückiger as team manager. The focus is already on participation in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris and the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in the canton of Valais, Switzerland.

In the last two episodes of "Ride my Hood", René Wildhaber travels from west to east. In Val de Bagnes, he rides the top trails on the Col de Mille together with Mr. Motivationmonday Ludo May.

The episodes of the video series "Ride my Hood" not only show action and riding fun, but also very personal conversations about the passion of mountain biking. In part one, Marco Toniolo, the man behind the largest Italian-speaking mountain bike community "MTB Mag", takes the Swiss enduro legend to Monte Tamaro. After that at the latest, it's clear: the views and trails are some of the best that the Swiss sunshine region has to offer.

On August 28 and 29, the BikerFestival rolls over the trails on Flumserberg. The highlights: A section of the Red Fox Trail, which has been groomed by René Wildhaber and volunteers, will be opened and there will be prizes to be won on a stamp hunt through the whole area, as well as riding fun.

The Swiss brand Bixs has become an insider tip in recent years. In true Swiss style, their bikes are rather inconspicuous, but well designed and they "work" hard on the trails. The new Sign is a trail bike with a lot of potential.

The Swiss brand Bixs is adapting its men's models for women and combining them under the "Mariposa" series name. In addition to the use of gender-specific add-on parts, the color scheme of the bikes has been adapted. The Sauvage is a successful mix of enduro and trail bike and has proven itself in the test.

The bikes from Wheeler and BiXs are available in Switzerland with a new sales model: Click and Collect - which means that the bikes can be ordered online and collected from the local bike store.
