4. BMC presents the reincarnation of the Softtail
With the new Teamelite 01, BMC is launching a new cross-country bike - the first to be developed 100 percent in Switzerland. It is neither a full suspension nor a hardtail bike. It is a kind of reincarnation of the legendary softtail, created for better performance in races.

7th Cannondale enters the "fun side" with a new trail bike
With the Habit, Cannondale is launching a brand-new trail bike and relying on the existing values, without plus-size tires and without Boost. Interesting details as well as models for smaller budgets characterize the bike. It therefore fills the gap between the "Scalpel" and "Trigger" models.

8. The road bike as MTB mutant
The mountain bike is proving to be an engine of innovation: single-chainring technology will soon also be used on road bikes. And the disc brake on road bikes will probably soon receive the blessing of the highest authority.
