The magazine also takes a look at current topics from the world of biking and shows which people could be considered for the position of national coach. To this end, the editors have ventured out with ski racer Marco Büchel on his favorite tour. Ride also features a long-term test of the Hammerschmidt gear crank from Truvativ and tests three proven enduro bikes: the Bionicon Supershuttle, the Felt Redemption and the Stöckli XL.

As with all issues of Ride, the July issue is illustrated exclusively by selected mountain bike photographers. Individual images can even be unfolded into oversized panoramic images, giving Ride its unique position in the international cycling trade press.
