On April 18 and 19, the region around Graz and Schöckl became a hotspot for mountain bike enthusiasts as the 2nd Biketest Festival Graz/Schöckl delivered an outstanding weekend of riding, testing, and community spirit. Among the standout brands present, XeNTiS captured attention with its high-performance carbon wheelsets.

The festival brought together leading names from the bike industry, offering visitors the opportunity to test the latest bikes and components on some of the region’s most exciting terrain. A major highlight was the official opening of the “1000er” – a challenging enduro trail stretching from the top of Schöckl all the way down to Graz/Stattegg. This new trail quickly became a favorite among riders eager to push their limits.

XeNTiS used the event to demonstrate the capabilities of its premium carbon wheels in real-world conditions. Riders had the chance to experience the precision, stiffness, and control that define the brand, particularly on demanding downhill sections and technical trails.

The festival atmosphere was further elevated by the presence of local downhill pioneers, who gathered to celebrate the sport’s roots in the region. Styrian bike clubs also played a key role, presenting their activities and engaging with the growing biking community.

Perfect trail conditions and sunny weather completed the experience, making the event a resounding success for both visitors and exhibitors. For XeNTiS, the Biketest Festival proved once again to be an ideal platform to connect with passionate riders and showcase innovation at the highest level.
