FEEL THE DIFFERENCE

Simplon Mountainbikes

A mountain bike without a motor is the perfect choice for those who want to focus on technique, fitness and riding experience. For all those who don't just want to ride the trail, but feel it. No battery, no support, just you, your bike and the moment. With SIMPLON, you can master every line with ease, take corners with ease and even tackle steep climbs with a smile. Pure mountain biking!

What is a mountain bike?

A mountain bike is built for adventure: a sturdy frame, wide knobbly tyres, powerful brakes and suspension for rough terrain. Whether as a hardtail (with front suspension) or a full-suspension bike (with suspension front and rear), it takes you safely through forests, mountains and trails. Agile on the climbs, controlled on the descents, and always with that unbeatable feeling of freedom beneath your tyres. Perfect for anyone who loves trails where there are none.

What defines a really good mountain bike without a motor and who is it made for?

Less technique, more feeling: a mountain bike without a motor is for all those who want to experience trails with their own power. For all those who don't just want to weigh lightness, but want to feel it in every bend, every climb, every descent. A really good MTB without a motor is not characterised by bells and whistles, but by precise geometry, optimum stiffness, low weight and a direct ride feel. It is made for anyone looking for control, dynamics and real terrain feedback. For experienced trail fans as well as those who want to become one. If you want to achieve the maximum with the minimum, this is the perfect bike for you. Clean, clear, uncompromising.

Mountain bike configurator: how customised can it be?

With the SIMPLON mountain bike configurator, you can customise your bike to your needs. Whether it's a sporty hardtail or a comfortable fully, you choose the gears, brakes, handlebars and many other components according to your riding style and goals. No standard, but a mountain bike that is as individual as you are. Ready for whatever lies ahead. You have full control and the freedom to choose exactly the setup that takes you further. From the first kick-off to the last trail kick.

Hardtail or full-sus? Decision support for your next MTB

Less is sometimes more, but not always. Whether a hardtail or a full-suspension bike suits you better depends not only on the terrain, but also on your riding style, your demands and what you want to experience with your MTB. When faced with the choice, you often make it on instinct. We make it easier for you with clear facts, an honest assessment and one question: What do you really need, and what do you perhaps not need?

full-sus

full-suspension bike - for all those who want to get more out of it

A full-suspension bike is the first choice for anyone who doesn't want to compromise on the trail. Thanks to full suspension, it offers maximum control, traction and comfort even on technically demanding terrain. Roots, rocks or drops? The full-suspension bike smoothes everything out. If you're looking for downhill fun and don't want to compromise on uphill performance, a modern fully is just the thing for you. The RAPCON is made for tough enduro missions, while the CIREX convinces with ease in cross-country use. Two characters one goal: maximum performance on every trail.

You need a full-suspension bike if you:

  • are looking for maximum control, comfort and grip on the trail
  • often ride on roots, rocks or loose ground
  • want to noticeably relieve your body on long tours
  • regularly ride challenging trails or alpine terrain
  • want to have real fun downhill - without making any major compromises uphill
  • prioritise safety at high speeds and in difficult passages
  • want a bike that can do a lot technically and gives you room for fine-tuning your setup

Hardtail Mountainbikes

HARDTAIL - direct, light and efficient

A hardtail is the right choice for anyone who likes things purist, efficient and light. Without rear suspension, the power is transferred directly to the ground, ideal for steep climbs, fast XC laps or tours on less technical trails. Less weight, less maintenance, more efficiency: the hardtail is particularly impressive when climbing and on flat, flowing sections. If you like dynamics and appreciate a direct riding experience, a hardtail is the right choice. The RAZORBLADE gets all of this in a nutshell, ultra-light, race-ready and uncompromisingly fast.

You need a hardtail if you:

  • are looking for a light, direct bike for fast XC laps or tours
  • are mainly travelling on forest roads, gravel and flowing trails
  • want a mountain bike that requires as little maintenance as possible
  • are looking for maximum pedalling efficiency uphill
  • prefer a sporty, direct riding feel
  • want to save weight for long marathons or races, for example
  • value a clear structure without complex damping systems
