- Origine Newton[e] with Mahle X20 drive weighs 9.83 kg and is the lightest electric racing bike in its class.
- X20 motor: 1.39 kg, 65 Nm torque, internally integrated drive for low weight and classic road bike appearance.
- Models such as Ponomaret's Eidolon (9.9 kg) and Wilier Filante Hybrid (10.3 kg) are evidence of the trend towards system-integrated lightweight e-road bikes.

Gravel Bike

- Fazua assures ongoing service and support for dealers and riders despite the discontinuation of Porsche eBike Performance.
- Spare parts are to remain available in the long term, but specific schedules and details have yet to be finalised.
- Planned system updates will continue to be implemented; riders should contact local Fazua dealers for information.

Future Fazua: What other services can customers take advantage of?

- In terms of production, wear and tear and recycling, organic road bikes and gravel bikes are ecologically more favourable than e-versions.  
- E-road bikes and e-gravel bikes replace car journeys much more frequently, especially for commuting over longer distances.  
- If they consistently replace cars, e-bikes can overcompensate for their higher CO2 production ballast and are ecologically more favourable than organic bikes.

Biopower versus battery boost: life cycle assessment of e-bikes

- Used e-bikes can quickly become more expensive than new models due to expensive battery and motor problems; batteries often cost 400-900 euros extra.
- Before buying: Carefully check the battery condition via charging cycles, range test, visual inspection and, if necessary, capacity measurement at the dealer (20-40 euros).
- Test the motor for noise, power output and error log at the dealer; defects can cost 600-1300 euros, refurbished bikes offer more safety.

- Fifth generation of the SuperSix Evo: fine-tuning instead of major design changes, lighter and more aerodynamically efficient with a similar weight.
- LAB71 top version: 6.89 kg, 11,999 euros, very good wind tunnel values (205 watts), sportier geometry and balanced handling.
- Model range extended and cheaper overall, nine complete bikes, two framesets, power meter only on LAB71 and Evo 1, Hollowgram brand no longer available.

Cannondale SuperSix Evo test: one of the best road bikes in the world

- Lego launches the Icons Road Bike, the first racing bike model in the Icons series with 1015 parts.

- Thanks to optimised wheels and tyres, Storck Aerfast.5 Pro is the new TOUR top wind tunnel bike and sets a world record in the aero classification.  
- The bike is designed for extreme speed and aerodynamics: aggressive riding position, 1x12 drivetrain without gears, very hard set-up and narrow range of use.  
- Weight reduction to 6.89 kg and more favourable price than many top competitors; alternative equipment with 2x12 drive offers more versatility.

Aero road bike

- Canyon is expanding the Endurace series with CF SLX with a new aero frame and CF with a classic round tube design, both with comfortable geometry.  
- CF SLX: electronic shifting only, carbon wheels, down tube storage compartment, 38 mm tyre clearance, aero seat post, prices from 3999 to 6999 euros.  
- CF: classic frame without storage compartment, 38 mm tyre clearance, partly VCLS 2.0 seatpost, four models from 1699 to 3299 euros, new shorter cranks for all.

CF SLX and CF in a new generation: Canyon expands the Endurace family

- The Endurace CFR is a very sporty endurance racing bike, aerodynamically almost at aeroad level, but without typical comfort features.
- Comfort is mainly provided by the 35 mm tyres; the frame and new seat post are less springy than the previous leaf spring seat post of its predecessor.
- It is suitable for long, sporty rides, but less so for leisurely riding; more comfortable, cheaper CF SL/CF variants follow with more everyday use.

Comfortable shooting: The Canyon Endurace CFR on test

- Road bike purchases are often based on emotion, myth and brand image rather than pure technology or value for money.  
- Traditional brands and luxury labels sell history, status and feeling, while direct mail order companies stand for reason and efficiency.  
- Price, exclusivity and heritage characterise perception more than laboratory tests; the choice of bike reflects the rider more than the product.

The road bike phenomenon: Why it's not just technology that counts

Marathon bike/endurance road bike

- Last year's bikes are often technically almost identical to new models, differing only in colour and minor equipment details.  
- Last year's models can be recognised by the model year, colours, components, online markings and serial number; it is important to ask specifically.  
- The biggest discounts (up to 40-50%) are available in October/November and for remaining stock in December; successful negotiation uses timing, information advantage and package deals.

Secure the best price: find last year's bikes and negotiate cleverly in the shop

- Road bikes are suitable for fast rides on tarmac, especially when the focus is on efficiency, group rides and clearly road-orientated tours.  
- Gravel bikes are more versatile, more comfortable on changing surfaces, offer options for bikepacking and are well suited for unclear or mixed use.  
- Allroad bikes lie between road bikes and gravel bikes, prefer tarmac but can also cope with gravel; the region, itinerary and circle of friends influence the choice.
