Eurobike 15 – Day 1.2

Grab a slice of sticky cake and a third fizzy apple juice for a second helping of Eurobikey goodness from sunny Germany.

Tom and I had a couple of laps on the Canyon Stitched, their new full suspension, pump track, dirt jump bike.

The Stitched is available in three guises, the 360 – €1199, the 180 – €799, frame only – €399. During our short play, it seemed amazingly fun, nice and short for playful handling.

The Eurobike demo route, busier than ever this year. Not really ideal conditions for testing bikes but it gives us an idea how they might behave in the real world.

Chris Porter’s inspired Nicolai trail bike, long and slack.

The Nicolai felt really good in the limited space we had to use it but hard to get a proper feel for it on a short, busy track. We’d both like the opportunity to get it up to speed on a decent length track to see what it can really do.

Ghost had this electronic front hub on one of their display bikes. Expect an explanation soon after we’ve had chance to quiz them about it.

With this USB looking port on the top of the steerer, it looks like it could be a charger for various devices like GPS, phones or a GoPro.

New shock from Cane Creek, coil over with climb function. More info coming soon.

Stay tuned to Ride.io all week for the latest from Germany.
