After no fewer than 87 issues of Ride (i.e. more than twenty years), the legendary large-format images were printed on glossy paper. That was once upon a time. With the start of 2024, Ride is switching to an elegant matt paper and also changing to a wider page format. This may sound succinct, but it has a strong and noticeable effect: this step will make Ride even more exclusive and high-quality.

In terms of content, the large-circulation issue is all about Ride-Travel. In other words, as an editorial platform for the Ride partner regions of Flumserberg, Leukerbad, Aletsch Arena, Lenzerheide, Oberengadin and Davos. The specialized partner hotels are also on board.

The core of the Ride editions are the lavishly illustrated tour reports, and the Travel edition is no different. With the new Bahnentour Aletsch, a great enduro adventure sees the light of day in this issue. Ride also reports on the Postauto-Tour across Graubünden with great pictures. The reports are complemented by a visit to the Ardèche in the south of France and a background report on the ambitious mountain bike plans of Valais.

The new issue of Ride (N°88) will be delivered to subscribers' mailboxes on February 1, 2024 and is also available as a PDF download or tablet version.
