Do you want to buy a new bike, but want to test it properly before you decide? Test events are the best way to find the right bike - before you make a decision. Specialised invites you to test events.

With the Test The Best (TTB) series, Specialized brings its latest bikes directly to the riders. On several dates in the DACH region, interested parties can try out and compare road bikes, MTBs, gravel bikes and active bikes - with and without a motor - under real conditions. Specialised experts and regional dealers will be on hand to help you find the right bike.

In addition to the test programme, special guests, workshops and a relaxed atmosphere await visitors.

Sandra Schuberth, sometimes an after-work ride, sometimes a training ride, sometimes an unsupported bikepacking challenge. The main thing is her and her gravel bike - away from the traffic. Seven Serpents, Badlands or Bright Midnight: she has finished challenging bikepacking races. Gravel and bikepacking are her favourite subjects, and her demands on equipment are high. What she rides, uses and recommends has to stand the test of time: not in marketing, but in real life.
