Canyon's thoroughly racy enduro machine, the Strive, is entering the 2021 model year with far more than just a stylish new suit. What remains is its race-proven carbon frame, as well as the clever Shapeshifter technology, which adjusts both the geometry and the suspension travel at the rear.

Pivot's brand-new Mach 6 takes its cue from the 29er Firebird in terms of handling qualities, but offers the uninhibited fun that only 27.5-inch wheels can generate. According to Pivot, the Mach 6 is the bike that is at home everywhere, from the bike park to the wildest after-work trail.

It was a bit of a shock when Pivot unveiled the Shuttle e-mountainbike at Eurobike 2017. Well, the shock has been digested - and the 2021 version of the Shuttle has evolved massively compared to the premiere version. For example, the new Shimano EP 8 motor and a 725 watt-hour battery are on board, and the Shuttle has also lost weight.
