Fresh enduro blood at Transalpes

The bike manufacturer Transalpes is increasing interest in the new "Rookie" enduro model, which is in the starting blocks. The bike aims to prove that a hot-blooded enduro bike does not have to cost a fortune and also fits into a budget that is not yet fully grown up.

Stefan Gruber, mastermind at bike manufacturer Transalpes, has a new trail arrow in his quiver: based on the BM 650B enduro model, the "Rookie" version is now rolling into the portfolio. Equipped with a Rock Shox Yari fork, spline wheels from DT Swiss and 11-speed Sram GX1 gears, the 160-millimetre bike features high-quality parts that still help to reduce the strain on the budget.

Unusually for Transalpes, the bike will not be configurable and will change hands for CHF 2,990. Gruber indicates initial availability for the course of October. If you want more details about the bike or are considering a test ride, use the testRIDE in Lenzerheide - or take a look here:
