While the bicycle is perhaps one of the most environmentally friendly means of transportation, its packaging leaves a lot to be desired in terms of sustainability - the products leave the production sites in boxes filled to the top with unnecessary single-use plastic, foam, cable ties and more. At the European assembly site in the Netherlands, Cannondale now only packs the bikes with recyclable materials.

A special Ducati series is rolling off the production line at Italian e-bike specialist Thok: the race-ready E-Enduro with innovative solutions such as the Öhlins shock absorbers, the new Shimano EP8 motor and Pirelli Scorpion E-MTB tires. The MIG-S all-mountain e-bike known from Thok has been equipped with new geometries, the tried-and-tested Shimano Steps E8000 motor and a new Shimano battery.

When bikepacking, your luggage needs to be carefully selected. After all, there's not much room in the bags hanging from the frame, fork, saddle or handlebars. This is where a cutlery set that combines fork, spoon and knife comes in handy. The so-called spork is a practical tool that works just as well at the campfire as it does at the dinner table at home.
