Ride N° 38 - April 2014

CHF 12.50

Ride takes a trip to the exotic trails of Hawaii in its photo reportage "Aloha Trails". Anyone who thinks you can't mountain bike in Hawaii is wrong. And anyone who thinks rain is bad weather will be proven wrong. Only one thing is confirmed in Hawaii: good trails mean good luck.

The Ride editorial team had a creative flight of fancy in the presentation of the 2014 fashion: Barbie and Ken personally present the most fashionable bike clothing for this spring. Also tested for the April issue were the BMC Trailfox TF01, the Santa Cruz 5010, the Surley Pugsley, Winforce Ultra Energy Gel, the Five Ten Freerider VXI, the Flowtrail Corviglia and the new lamp from Gemini.

On the women's page, Trek Gravity Girl Katja Rupf presents her favorite products and talks about the most difficult moment in her mountain bike career.

The Matterhorn is one of the world's most famous mountains and its circumnavigation is one of the most attractive mountain bike routes in the Alps. Ride presents the six-day route, which passes all the famous Valais mountain peaks. Six passes can be ridden around Andermatt in two days. Ride shows you how to do it and what you can learn about Switzerland along the way. The tour over the Passo di Gallo and the Passo da Val Viola is shrouded in legend. Ride tells the story of Trailwittchen and the Prince of Poschiavo.

There is nowhere else with such an impressive Dolomite backdrop as in Val di Fassa. One rock tower follows the next, surrounded by deep green forests and covered with a wonderful network of trails. In the April issue, Ride readers can find the most important information about the tour valley.
