ATTEndance & Registration
Participation in the MOUNTAINBIKE TESTIVAL is free of charge. Test bikes can be borrowed from the exhibitors. No prior registration is necessary. Guided tours or other additional offers may require an extra booking and an extra charge.
Yes, we encourage all participants to arrive environmentally friendly by bike. There is plenty of space in our bike garage to park your bike safely for a fee. You can hire a bike for the test rides from one of the many exhibitors on site.
The exhibitors bring a large number of test bikes with them. However, there is no guarantee that every participant will get a suitable bike on every day. It is therefore advisable to bring your own bike with you. And it makes it much easier to make comparisons.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to reserve a bike in advance, nor is it possible to find out which bikes will be on site and in which version. We ask you to simply go to the stand of the respective exhibitor and ask for a test bike or test product. The exhibitors will have plenty of test material for you to try out free of charge.
The duration and procedures vary from exhibitor to exhibitor. You often need an ID card as a deposit. The manufacturers usually give out the bikes for 2-4 hours, a whole day is usually not possible. This is up to each manufacturer. Theoretically, you can test several bikes in one day. However, if you have booked a guided tour, we advice you to bring your own bike.
Tip: It pays to be early. Some bikes are already fully booked for the day early in the morning.
