Ride N° 84 - May 2023

CHF 12.50

In addition, there are exciting reports from Sweden on the question of the harmfulness of mountain bikers and the fact that many MTB innovations today come from Switzerland and southern Germany.

The tour over the Bocchetta di Forcola on the Umbrail Pass includes the legendary serpentine trail on the Italian side - long since a mountain bike classic. The ridge trail over the Punta Leysser near Aosta is in the same league. Although the route is not yet a classic, it has the makings of one. The Etzel Trail, one of the great descents on Lake Zurich, has also made it into the magazine and is the result of a lot of hard work by local mountain bikers. A trip to Åre in Sweden is also part of the seasonal plan. Not a country of big mountains, but a great and extraordinary mountain bike destination with a strong local scene. Ride has the photo report on it.

The May issue also includes extensive background reports. Ride investigated the question of why many of the big innovations in mountain biking today come neither from the USA nor China, but from Switzerland and southern Germany. An intensive study investigation also made it into the magazine: Is mountain biking really as harmful to nature as it is repeatedly said to be?
