2025 was rather quiet, but 2026 will be wild: new motors, more radical geometries, brutal e-MTBs, and exciting innovations from both big and small brands.
In this very first episode of the MTB Report, we ask the big question:
👉 Who is building the ultimate Hammerbike 2026?
We take a look at:
Specialized & Santa Cruz – tech fireworks vs. radical geometry
Trek & Yeti – power e-MTBs with massive batteries
Exotics like Ducati – when motorcycle brands start building bikes
Smaller brands like Atherton & Nicolai – innovation driven by courage and bold ideas
And: which trends might truly shape the future of mountain biking
Whether it’s a high-end rocket or a crazy niche project – 2026 is going to be anything but boring.
