EUROBIKE AWARDS 2025 Winners

The “Superfast” gravel bike by German brand Bike Ahead Composites caused quite a stir with the jury, even just visually. “It’s a state-of-the-art piece, a bold statement. Bikes like this drive the industry forward” – was heard in the discussion. The concept of this extremely lightweight bike was co-developed by the social media community, so it directly considers the wishes of its target customers. Manufacturer Bike Ahead Composites produces all carbon components near Würzburg: monocoque frame, fork, wheels, cockpit, saddle and seat post – many of which can also be made to measure. Carbon production in Europe is still a rarity, and is suitable for shortening delivery routes.

The “Leasing Automation Platform” (LAP) provided by Bike Leasing Technologies is aimed at bicycle retailers. Its purpose is to concentrate and automate the many different and rather complex processes of the various leasing providers, which are currently very time-consuming in day-to-day store operations, into a single and simple software platform. Importantly, the platform should work with all providers of this increasingly popular bike purchase option. The jury members with a background in retail are particularly impressed by both the approach and the implementation of the product. They feel that it makes their work much easier.

“Battery Lock” is a new part of the “eBike Flow App” by Bosch and adds a digital component to the manufacturer’s security concept. Additional to the mechanical lock, the battery lock electronically disables the battery as soon as the e-bike is switched off. Thus, a stolen battery is no longer usable and even deactivates the powertrain of another e-bike with the same system the moment it is installed. This makes the theft of Bosch-equipped e-bikes and components less attractive overall. The jury praises the simple and seamless implementation of the feature within the app. Once activated, users don't have to worry about anything else.

The “Electric G-Line” by London-based manufacturer Brompton receives a EUROBIKE Award, because it represents a decisive step in the 50-year evolution of the legendary folding bike. With the new, wide 20-inch wheels, it also rides dynamically and maturely like a full-size e-bike. As a folding bike, it continues to score points with its compact size while folded, simple folding mechanism and comparatively low weight – also thanks to the removable battery, which can be carried separately in its bag.

The jury appreciates the versatility of the Burley “Hopper” trailer. It can be converted from a bicycle trailer to a stroller or handcart in just a few simple steps. This multifunctionality, together with a load capacity of 45 kilograms and 115 liters of storage space, makes it easy to go shopping or transport children without a car. The fact that it can be attached to almost any bike further increases its versatility. It can also be folded and is light enough to be combined with other modes of transport for leisure and everyday use.

With the Diamant “Suvea”, the jury awards an e-bike with an obvious innovation as well as various clever concepts that are only visible at second glance. The approach of being able to switch between a diamond and mixte frame shape by removing the top tube is apparent and, from the jury’s point of view, successful. Particularly from a retailer’s perspective this is genius, as it simplifies inventory and promises one bike for everyone. Details such as the battery in the diamond-shaped downtube, which can be removed at an angle to the side, the multifunctional luggage rack, the simple ergonomic adaptability and the ease of maintenance of the bike also impresses the jury with advantages for users and bike shops.

Internal cable routing is a strong trend within the cycling and mobility industry. It poses some challenges to third-party manufacturers. Evoc is meeting these challenges with the “Mountain Bike Bag Pro”, the latest iteration of its long-running and well-established bike transportation bag. Unlike with previous versions, users no longer need to remove the handlebar before packing the bike. A simple 90° rotation of the handlebar is all it takes. Replaceable and soft skate wheels ensure quiet rolling. The jury appreciates the reliable and well-proven design that protects your valuable mountain bike.

Feedback Sports’s portable repair stand “Pro Air Lift” receives a EUROBIKE Award for its pneumatic support for lifting and lowering even heavy bikes. It works very intuitively with quick release and quick opening and is operable mostly one-handed. Despite its low weight and moderate price for the range of functions, the Pro Air Lift makes a high-quality impression and offers a very solid stand with its tripod. The lifting mechanism is easy to maintain, the manufacturer delivers the repair stand in environmentally friendly packaging and offers spare parts individually.

Hepha Bikes from Munich aims to define a whole new bike category with its “Trekking 8”: the “light high-performance bike”. The jury is excited about this attempt and praises the dynamic power output of the Hepha drive-unit with strong 100 Nm of torque, and the low weight that ensures agile handling. Despite the low weight, the battery boasts a capacity of 600 watt-hours. A “Range Doublicator” of the same capacity is available as an option. The jury's verdict: A coherent concept with a powerful drive unit at an affordable price starting at 2’499 euros.

An invisible anti-theft device – Swiss manufacturer HNC promises nothing less with its “Velo Guard”. The invisible handlebar lock is installed inside the head tube of a bicycle or e-bike. A magnet then locks the steering when triggered. The system is controlled via Bluetooth and a smartphone app. The jury likes the fully integrated, simple operation as well as its low weight and identifies cargo bikes or other heavier bikes that cannot be easily carried away as the main field of application.

No one likes a dirty bike: Neither in your car, on the train, in your home, nor in the workshop. The members of the jury would clean their bikes with the Kärcher “OC 4 + Bike Kit”. This portable device with a Lithium-ion battery and an eight-liter (2.1 gal) water tank impressed the judges with its usability and well thought-out, bike-specific accessories, including a universal washing brush and a foam nozzle. The manufacturer promises that the device’s low-pressure technology will not damage delicate components such as bearings or seals.

The jury is impressed by the “MTB 6.0 Hydradri Jacket” rain jacket by Leatt due to its strong, techy design. The workmanship and the materials are impressive in every detail and appear high-quality and comfortable to wear. Stylistic elements such as the reinforced elbow sections make the jacket stand out visually. The judges rate the stick-on magnet included with the jacket as a particularly useful feature. It helps the hood of the jacket to stay in place on the helmet even at high speeds.

The “Big Bore” tubeless valve series from Muc-Off receives the jury’s vote, because it makes it much easier for professional and hobby mechanics to apply tubeless sealant into their tires. The sometimes difficult or even dirty and sticky procedure is avoided by a large valve opening, which also enables a greater air flow that is necessary for the tire to initially settle into the rim. This not only makes fitting quicker, but it also helps subsequent adjustments. The valves do not require the regular cleaning that is necessary with conventional ones either.

Noca “Pim+” has set out to provide bicycle retailers with a standardized data basis for product information based on one central database solution (Single Source of Truth, SSOT). This approach has the potential to end the days of differing product information standards that cost industry, suppliers and retailers – and ultimately consumers – time and money. The jury agrees on how great the need for such a system is in the industry. The retail experts on the jury particularly emphasized the benefits of a system that is capable of standardizing all inventory management software in the bicycle world.

Orbea’s new “Muga 10” continues the design language that the Basque company started with the “Diem” and “Kemen” models and translates it to a full-suspension SUV-style e-bike. The Muga wants to be both: Your everyday ride and an offroad-performer. A successful crossover, characterized by its safe and confidence-inspiring ride quality and everyday practicality. The jury finds it to be visually striking overall with high attention to detail.

In the eyes of the jury, Bavarian company Ortlieb stands for waterproof products, continuous product evolution and maximum repairability. Three reasons for the judges to honor the new “Vario Lite”. The ability of the Vario family to switch between rucksack and bike bag with a flick of the wrist is also found in the German-made “Lite”. It expands the well-known product family with a lightweight, slim version that is suitable for everyday use thanks to its laptop compartment. The jury particularly praised the durability of Ortlieb products and the manufacturer’s easy-to-use repair service, which ensures a high level of sustainability.

Locally produced and easily serviced. The “Q10” hub is produced entirely in the Spanish Basque Country for short delivery routes between the companies. The hub requires no tools to disassemble and is therefore quick and easy to maintain. In addition to the production aspects, the jury is impressed by the design, the low weight and the engaging sound of the freewheel.

The jury is impressed by the sustainability of Schwalbe’s “Aerothan” inner tube as well as the featured new valve stem with Clik-Valve. The tube is produced from transparent and very lightweight TPU material (thermoplastic polyurethane) at BASF in Germany. The TPU comes from pyrolysis oil, which is obtained in Schwalbe’s own tyre recycling process and replaces 91 percent of fossil materials. A gamechanger in the eyes of the jury. The new Aerothan inner tubes are also manufactured with aluminum threaded shafts and supplied with Schwalbe’s Clik-Valve, which the jury praised for its ease of use and rated as a new standard.

Selle Royal’s “Nivo Gel Grips” caught the jury’s attention with their design and impresses with high haptic values. The innovative teardrop-shaped profile supports an ergonomic hand position with a single, clear, visual line. The black handle material and the silver-colored clamp are reminiscent of classic industrial design. According to the manufacturer, the TPE material (thermoplastic elastomer) creates a soft grip that avoids any unpleasant stickiness. The jury’s verdict: Mission accomplished!

The “Super Mini” made by Super Bicycles in Berlin impresses the jury with its mix of cuteness and great potential. With 18-inch balloon tires and overall length of 1.5 meters, it is very agile and yet well-balanced, while also offering plenty of storage space on the rear and modular front rack. With its universal, tool-free and theft-proof seat height adjustment, it is easily accessible for a wide range of users – an aspect that is also reflected in the moderate price. The jury is looking forward to further development stages of the bike.

“Starstream Mini Interface” by Supernova is a headlight cut-out that is built into several handlebars. The jury is impressed by the idea to accommodate the headlight directly into the handlebar and the resulting sleek design. The “Starstream Mini” headlight from the German company fits precisely into the interface and creates a very clean look. However, the interface opens even greater possibilities: external headlights can also be fitted via an adapter. The interface ensures discreet cable routing, while the integrated USB-C port allows to conveniently charge other devices.

The judges give Tern’s “GSD S10” cargo bike a EUROBIKE Award because they are very impressed by the riding characteristics and the wide range of functions it offers. With the GSD, Tern has significantly co-created the concept of compact longtail cargobikes and improved it through continuous development. It still offers space for two children and the option of upright parking. New features now include a maximum total weight of 210 kilograms, optional variable footboards, ABS brakes, GPS tracking and an alarm system. The bike can be adjusted to many body sizes without tools and is also easy to handle for smaller people.

With the “Sade”, Berlin based Toraman Bikes presents a bike that impresses the jury above all with its consistent focus on sustainability. The recyclable steel frame is manufactured by hand in the Berlin quarter. The manufacturer discloses the origin and place of production of each component on the website. The bike itself is delivered in a reusable bike box, which the manufacturer promises to recollect afterwards. The clean and minimalist messenger-style design also appeals to the judges.

“The best bike lock is the one that is always with you,” says the jury and awards Trelock’s and Cannondale’s collaboration accordingly. Lock manufacturer Trelock has developed “The integrated RackLock,” the according to own information longest U-lock on the market, for bicycle manufacturer Cannondale. The jury is particularly impressed by the almost invisible and space-saving integration of the lock into the rack, not interfering with the overall silhouette of the bike. It is always with you and yet never gets in your way. Neither does it require a bottle cage mount. Rubber bumpers prevent the lock from rattling while riding.

The “Thuja” tricycle presented by Dutch manufacturer Van Raam impresses the jury with its inclusive concept on the one hand and its visual implementation on the other. The Thuja gets more people on bikes, especially those who don’t feel safe (anymore) on traditional two-wheelers but still want classic bike ergonomics. In addition to the usual upright riding position, its two front wheels offer a high degree of stability. A lockable compartment that holds the e-bike battery and an easy-to-see loading area for shopping and luggage are conveniently located between the front wheels.

For its longtail e-Cargobike “SubTitan 3x3”, the Viennese manufacturer Vello relies on the eponymous frame material titanium to create a lightweight Cargobike with space for up to two children and a total weight of 210 kilograms. The jury is equally impressed by the unique and exclusive choice of material and the agile riding characteristics of the bike with small 20-inch wheels. Accessories made of Oeko-Tex-certified reflex material extend the range of use and offer passengers or luggage weather protection. According to the jury, it also ensure a high level of visual independence.
