|
Hello Reader, This time, we’ve got less to say—but even more to show. This edition of the RAAW News is packed with fresh video content: Trail adventures in Queenstown, Jibb action on the CHURCHNER RAAW Trail (yep, one of our official test ride spots!), serious airtime with the Madonna V3, and a laid-back bike build video featuring the new Yalla!! V2. Enjoy the show! Video: Queenstown Enduro AdventureRAAW Privateer Hanna Steinthaler takes you along for the ride through New Zealand’s dreamy Queenstown trails in her latest vlog. We’re sitting at HQ wondering if the bike caught more airtime over there than on the flight getting there. #officethoughts. Anyway—watch it here. Video: Madonna Airtime feat. Jonas SalamonSame bike, just as much airtime: Our filmmaker Jonas sends it on some of Germany’s biggest jumps—the Krater Trails at the “Krater Fest” Jam Day. Style, flow, and air for days. Catch the full edit here. Review: Madonna V3 in MountainBIKE Magazine (German)In the latest enduro bike test by MountainBIKE Magazine, the Madonna V3 came out strong: “Pure downhill performance – the Madonna is made for shredders who leave no rock unridden.” The review praised the frame’s low-maintenance design and the finely tuned suspension kinematics. Final verdict: Very Good. Find the full test in issue 06/2025 or as a (paid) digital download on the magazine’s website.

We're RAAW Mountain Bikes
Hello Reader, On a quiet solo ride the other day, the air was crisp, the trails were covered in leaves, and the woods had that calm, golden glow that only autumn brings. Conditions like that sometimes put me in a reflective mood – the kind where flow mixes with emotion, sneaking in between the corners and the climbs. I found myself thinking about the Madonna – the bike I was on – and the role it has played in our story, and in so many of yours. From the very beginning, it’s been the bike at...

(At least here in Germany …no need to rub it in with your summer shots from down under 😉) Not that we mind: golden light, tacky dirt, and a good reason to pull out the warmer riding gear all have their charm. And if the weather really doesn’t play along, in this newsletter there’s plenty to keep the stoke...
Hello Reader, August is moving fast – just like our bikes, test events, and the people behind them.
