In this bonus episode, I take you on one last ride through the Zugspitz Arena – while sharing my very own conclusion: Which bike stood out where? Which tire dominated which terrain?
In Norway, the Cannondale Jekyll, with its agility and intuitive handling, was my loyal companion – perfect for long tours and technical trails.
But in Austria, the Santa Cruz Heckler with its Schwalbe tires showed me what real grip and riding fun truly mean. Every meter was a pleasure. Every berm, a smile.
👉 What did I learn from it all?
It’s not about the brand. Not about the hype. It’s about your goal, your style, your feeling.
Before getting yourself a bike, ask: What do I really want to ride? What fits me – not Instagram?
I’ll take you along on my descent with the Heckler – a festival of flow, speed, and joy.
And at the end of this episode, I say goodbye with an emotional look back at Norway. A country that changed me. A journey that stays.
🎧 Tune in now, lean back, and feel it with me.
💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts – on YouTube, Instagram, or at Spotify.
