The focus is on summit experiences: These include Monte Zerbion in the Aosta Valley, Monte Legnoncino on Lake Como and the largely unknown Mont Raimeux in the Bernese Jura. There is also the Sargans spring tour, on which you can climb two peaks in one day: the Regitzer Spitz and the Pizalun. As always, all tour reports are exclusively illustrated and described in detail, including downloadable GPS data.

In addition to the tour reports, the magazine also contains interesting background stories. Ride shows how female mountain bikers in Iran live their sport and how different the bike culture is in Japan compared to the European bike scene. Ride also met the former super talent Sari Jørgensen and looked over her shoulder in her "new" life.

In addition, there are many interesting short news items from the mountain bike world, a picture gallery by Canadian Mark MacKay, various test reports and several commentaries on current topics from the world of cycling. The 136-page issue thus offers a wonderful introduction to the 2016 cycling season.
