Bikepacking in the Hebrides
A tour on a mountain bike with all your luggage attached directly to the bike to enjoy full mobility on the trails - that's what freedom-loving mountain bikers define as adventure.

Mountain biking and environmental protection in Malawi
Representatives Axel and Sylvia venture deep into Africa to explore previously untrodden mountain bike terrain. In the south of Malawi, on Mount Mulanje, they find what they were looking for: A majestic mountain with incredible trails. They ride across the rugged plateau and climb the Chambe peak, battling their way through steep and technical terrain on their mountain bikes - a once-in-a-lifetime descent. But they also discover a disturbing development on Mulanje. The endemic cedar tree is being cut down illegally at an alarming rate. the cedar is already on the list of endangered species, and in the absence of effective law enforcement, its fate seems to be sealed. A touching cycling adventure and investigative research into little-known environmental problems.
With self-made bamboo bikes to Central Asia
What connects three adventurous friends, young entrepreneurs from eastern France and a Tajik community in Central Asia? Morgan Monchaud, Siphay Vera and Brian Mathé set out on a daring 3,000 km adventure in the Pamir Mountains to prove the feasibility of an ambitious bicycle concept developed by young Frenchmen from bamboo trunks and flax fibers. They show that artisanal know-how can be combined with advanced technical skills to create high-performance products. Their goal is to explore some wild peaks up to 6,000 m, but they also want to interact with the people in this part of the world. Along the way, they meet women and men who take up the challenge of dedicating their lives to preserving the local culture.
Cycling and kayaking through Tyrol
A climate-neutral journey across the Alps by bike and kayak. With 90 kilos each in their luggage, professional kayakers Olaf Obsommer, Jens Klatt, Adrian Mattern and Bren Orton set off on an adventurous bike trip to explore the most beautiful rivers in Tyrol by whitewater kayak.
Climate-neutral travel, the impressive mountain landscape, the people and the discovery of reduced speed were the main focus of this bike tour. The team spent three weeks in the saddle and in the boat. In total, they cycled 750 kilometers and 8000 meters of altitude and paddled 10 of the best wild rivers in the Alps. From the Inn Valley in Upper Bavaria, they cycled through Salzburger Land, past the Grossglockner to East Tyrol, towards the Staller Sattel in South Tyrol and over the Timmelsjoch into the Tyrolean Ötztal.
Olaf, Jens, Adrian and Bren transported everything they needed for their trip on their bikes and the trailer: boat, paddle, kayak equipment, bike, tent, sleeping bag, clothing and food weighed in at an impressive 90 kg.
Cycling and skiing through the Alps
Jochen Mesle and Max Kroneck set off on their biggest and most unusual ski tour to date with "Ice & Palms". The mission: to bike across the Alps and ski down some iconic mountains - all under their own steam! The two friends have already experienced many mountain adventures all over the world, but it was while skiing in distant regions that they came up with the idea: an unusual ski expedition that starts right on their own doorstep. Six weeks, 1,800 km, 35,000 vertical meters and a dream come true.

Adventure Germany - cycling through an unknown homeland
World traveler and first long-distance e-cyclist Maximilian Semsch had already visited over 30 countries by bike, covering around 60,000 km in the process. But there was one country he had barely seen - his own. And this despite the fact that Germany has one of the best infrastructures for cyclists.
So he thought: why not explore his own undiscovered homeland? This much can be revealed: Germany has an incredible amount to offer!
With the e-bike to the Baltic Sea
Back on a discovery tour in Germany! Maximilian Semsch explores more of his home country's cycle paths by e-bike! This time, his bike tour takes him over 270 km from Schwerin via the Baltic Sea coastal cycle path directly to Stralsund on the Baltic Sea.
You can find our selection of panniers here.
The Alb-Cross - with the e-bike through the Swabian Alb
The Swabian Alb is certainly one of the most beautiful low mountain ranges in Germany and stretches from Donauwörth to Tuttlingen over an area of almost 6000 km². The challenging "Alb-Cross" cycle path leads across the Alb, which Maximilian Semsch follows on his e-bike for 250 km, covering 4200 meters in altitude.
The Alpine Cross - over the Alps on a mountain bike
The MTB classic at the end: Accompany Alex, Sarah and Lea on their exciting mountain bike adventure across the Alps. On their 6-day Transalp tour, they have to conquer 12,400 meters of altitude and 340 kilometers, which requires not only physical fitness and technical skills, but also mental strength. Rain, cold and unforeseen events are particularly challenging. Whether it's steep, blocked trails or flowing descents, happiness at the summit or the strenuous pushing of the mountain bike - this tour should not be underestimated. This crossing of the Alps leads over challenging trails in the Ötztal, through picturesque valleys in the Vinschgau and into the impressive rocky landscapes of the Brenta.
We have put together some helpful tips on equipment for you here.
