Nowadays “Globalization” might appear as an old-fashioned word. But back in the days it was meant to be the solution for upcoming problems. “Globalization” meant future and unlimited oportunities. Accompanied by the digitization of media, the conventional publishing houses had to face the new circumstances. For them there neither seems to be a clear solution for the arising problems nor a predictible future. We do not pretend to have found both. But instead of waiting and watching we are trying, planning and creating. After one year of making Mag41 in German we now embrace the advantages of the infinite possibilites of the digital era and spread the magazine globally. Our future: Globalization. Our medium: Digital. Our solution: International publishing. Our price: None. MAG41 IS FOR FREE!!
Over 140 pages full of breathtaking photos, interesting articles, interviews & reviews add up to our first international Issue!
Cult & classic – For each bike we tought of something special: The Intense M9 was brought to a mystic castle to cope with its evil and fearless character. The Kona Entourage Deluxe was taken to the Swiss Alps where we experienced a revival of the good old New World Disorder times. Awesome. To shred Yeti’s allmountain-bike SB-66 like a downhill rig we went to the lonely mountains of the Italian village Calizzano: Far away from the civilization we let the Yeti run wild.
We tested 12 of the most interesting DH race tires at the Bad Wildbad bike park in Germany, which is famous for its very technical and rocky downhill track. To perform the testing we enlisted the help of the German downhill champion Benny Strasser and also the runner up to the championship Noah Grossman, who are both racing for the Mag41 Racing Team. Next to extensive practical tests, we also performed lab tests such as rolling resistance, snake-bite and puncture resistance at Continental’s lab in Korbach, Germany.
In the ancient Roman Empire, Bread and Games were the instrument to rule the bloodthirsty crowd. The protagonists were heroes, sacrificing their blood for glory, honor and freedom. Today it is all the same. At RB X-Fighters everybody is fighting for glory and honor. But only one can win. Times never change.

david praznik
i like it (design and content) but videos should be embedded (not physically attached to the document).
tnx!
Robin Schmitt
Hey David, thanks for your feedback! You are right, but: When we integrate the videos the document gets really big. For now it is better to download just 40 MB instead of 400 MB
cheers & thanks
