The economic analysis of mountain biking sheds light on the current state of our sport. "What significance has mountain biking achieved in its 25 years of existence?". Ride gets to the bottom of this and other questions. "Wild West" is the photo report from the flow center around Fruita-Grand Junction in the USA. Unique images convey the joie de vivre of a winter exile for mountain bikers. The "Beautiful living" picture gallery shows how mountain bikers can live in style. Bikes from Thömus, Koba, Votec and Devinci were also tested for the July issue.

The touring section of Ride magazine is peppered with breathtaking pictures. The tour over the Fuorcla da Rims from Scuol to the Lai da Rims and into Val Lischana is one of the most scenic mountain bike tours in the Lower Engadine. On the surface, the opinion prevails that the canton of Aargau has little to offer in terms of mountain biking fun. The Baden-Olten tour paints a different picture: flowing single trails, crisp climbs and the best panoramic views characterize this extraordinary day tour. The Postbus tour takes you through the canton of Graubünden in yellow class. The multi-day tour can be booked in two different versions: As a standard tour on your own with GPS and Postbus routes, or as a premium tour with your own guide, Postbus and your own route preferences.
