The big manufacturers such as Trek, Cube and Cannondale are conspicuous by their absence at Eurobike. But not so at testRIDE: from September 15 to 17 in Lenzerheide, hundreds of bikes from almost all major brands will be ready and waiting to be tested. And if you're still not tired of testing the 2018 models: the testRIDE party is absolutely legendary.

Testing until the purchase decision is made

Finally chasing a 2018 Trek, Cannondale and Cube down the trail? Or finally test a women's bike from Liv, ride the Antidote bikes for the first time or put a Mondraker e-mountainbike through its paces? Yes, that's exactly what's at the top of the agenda at testRIDE in Lenzerheide. For three days - from September 15 to 17 - hundreds of test bikes from over 50 bike brands will be available. So those who like blockbuster bikes will be just as well catered for as customers who like rarities. With Turner, Saracen and Genesis, for example, rarely seen bikes are also available for test rides.

Tracks for every style

Visitors can choose from various routes for optimal test rides. All of them start and end at the test site and are signposted accordingly. The freeride and downhill routes ride through the Bikepark Lenzerheide. There are also test tracks for racing bikes, e-bikes, cross country and enduro bikes.

New: from Friday to Sunday, no registration necessary

Access to the test site and testing are free of charge, and registration is no longer necessary for testRIDE 2017. All you need to do now is leave your badge with the respective exhibitor for testing

The test area is now open to the public from Friday to Sunday. On each of the three festival days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Herbert.Bike invites you to take a ride together. This is rather easy in terms of riding technique and registration takes place at the red Herbert gondola.

Take another road bike through the wringer

The testRIDE is not only interesting for mountain bikers. From September 15 to 17, 2016, the latest road bikes, trekking bikes, e-bikes and components can be tested and all kinds of bike clothing and accessories can be tried on.

Find out about the best trails, because Herbert is here

If you are still happy with your current bike and don't want to test anything, you should still come to testRIDE. Because Ride Magazine will be there, the singletrail maps will be in the luggage and, as mentioned, Herbert.Bike will be on site. And anyone who has only heard of Ride Magazine, Singletrails Maps and Herbert.Bike knows that the hottest tips for epic tours can be found here. The red Herbert gondola is the hotspot for a quick chat with trail-addicted mountain bikers.

Off to the party pool on Saturday evening

On Saturday evening, the legendary testRIDE party will be back in full swing. To celebrate the 11th anniversary of testRIDE, the Hotel Kurhaus is hosting a pool party, where bikinis and swimming trunks are of course compulsory. DJ Tanja La Croix will be behind the turntables in the H2lai sports center to provide the right vibes.

Get through the night

From the trails or the party, all you want to do is stumble back to your hotel room: There are twelve bike hotels in the Lenzerheide vacation region that cater specifically to the needs of bikers. These include a lockable bike storage room, a small repair workshop, the option to wash your bike, special biker menus to replenish your carbohydrate levels and a laundry service for dirty bike clothes.
