Ride N° 37 - March 2014

CHF 12.50

The report Kampfzone Wald sheds light on the conflicts surrounding off-road mountain biking that have been smouldering for 20 years. The report draws parallels with other sports that have had to fight for acceptance by the general public: mountaineers, skateboarders and snowboarders are not so different from us, only they have long since won their battle for legitimacy. "Nor/Riding" is a photo report from the idyllic natural paradise of Isfjorden in Norway. Tommy and Renate Soleim have found their new home there and take bike adventurers on a tour of discovery.

A presentation of the latest all-mountain shoes provides an overview of the all-rounders among bike boots. The Rocky Mountain Instinct, the Lapierre Spicy, the Cube HPC 120, X-Bionic underwear, the Graubünden luggage transport, the Aosta Valley and the Pearl Izumi X-Project 1.0 were also tested for the March issue. On the completely redesigned women's page, the Gehrig Twins present their favorite products and provide an insight into their lives.

The touring section of the Ride magazine is peppered with breathtaking pictures. The new discovery of the year is called the Tibet Trail and starts on the famous Stelvio Pass. Our tour report shows whether the newcomer can hold a candle to the famous Goldsee Trail, which is just on the opposite side of the valley. With the Rasa tour, Ride presents a classic from Ticino that has it all. The varied tour offers "rock gardens" that would make even King Nino Schurter tremble. The guide to the perfect singletrail adventure over Tomül Pass and Piz Mundaun will whet the reader's appetite for alpine touring as early as spring. Finally, Ride also visited the Ötztal and Sölden, where Austria's singletrail stronghold is located.
