Suspension travel refers to the depth of the suspension that absorbs bumps on the road. This is especially important for mountain bikes. Suspension travel is measured in millimeters (mm) and varies depending on the type of suspension and the bike model. Greater suspension travel means that the suspension has more freedom of movement and is better able to absorb bumps in the road surface.
Suspension travel works by allowing the bike's suspension to absorb the movement caused by bumps in the road surface. More travel allows the suspension to travel a greater distance and therefore better absorb bumps.
An e-bike with greater suspension travel has several advantages over bikes with less suspension travel:
However, there are also disadvantages of e-bikes with longer suspension travel:
Suspension travel is important to many cyclists as it affects ride comfort and driving dynamics. For riders who spend a lot of time on uneven roads or ride longer distances, a longer suspension travel is particularly beneficial as it can better absorb bumps and thus provide a smoother and more comfortable ride. Mountain bikers who ride on uneven terrain in particular can benefit from a longer suspension travel as it can improve the absorption of shocks and vibrations and thus reduce the strain on the rider and the bike.
Wenn in München die Wiesn-Zeit beginnt, heißt es wieder „O’zapft is!“. Millionen Besucher strömen jedes Jahr zum Oktoberfest, um bayerische Tradition, Tracht, Bier und Gaudi zu genießen. Doch während Festzeltstimmung und Fahrgeschäfte locken, stellt sich schnell die Frage: Wie kommt man am besten hin und wieder sicher nach Hause? Eine clevere Antwort darauf ist: mit dem Fahrrad!
Radfahren ist weit mehr als nur Sport oder Fortbewegung – es ist auch ein soziales Erlebnis. Immer mehr Radbegeisterte schließen sich sogenannten Social Rides an. Dabei geht es nicht um Bestzeiten oder knallhartes Training, sondern um Gemeinschaft, Spaß und geteilte Leidenschaft fürs Rad.
Sarcopenia – this medical term refers to a very real problem: the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Starting around the age of 50, the body loses up to 1–2% of its muscle mass annually. The consequences: weakness, unsteadiness when walking, and the risk of falls. But this doesn't have to be the case. Exercise is the best remedy for muscle atrophy – and this is precisely where the e-bike comes in. It enables regular, joint-friendly muscle training even in old age – without overexertion.
