Mountainbike
Get on your mountain bike and ride into the forest! Fresh air, stunning nature, and the joy of sport—that's food for the soul. Here you'll find robust parts for technical and practical upgrades so that you can always enjoy your tours carefree or continue to develop yourself and your bike.
Stems and handlebars
In the steering zone of a mountain bike, the stiffness of the parts and the correct posture of your body are important. Sore wrists and numb fingers are among the most common problems that arise when biking. This could be caused, for example, if the handlebar is too short. When choosing a handlebar and stem for your mountain bike, listen to your body and pick components that are ergonomically suited to you and built to endure. Depending on the trail's difficulty, you'll need bike parts that can handle the demanding terrain and the constant strain of downhill riding.
Grips
Just one wrong grip can pinch the carpal tunnel and obstruct the blood flow - resulting in painful or numb hands. To counteract this, you need the right grips for your mountain bike adventures. In our range you will find grips in various widths, thicknesses, materials and shapes. However, you can get an overview with the MERGE grip series. This is because it is divided into riding style categories and also has models that are specially made for mountain bikers.
Saddles
The saddle is probably the most sensitive point of contact between man and machine. And this is where almost 80% of your body weight rests when cycling. A saddle that fits you perfectly is the be-all and end-all to ensure you don't have any comfort issues. A cut-out provides pressure relief in the sensitive perineal area. A wide seat surface and a long nose ensure better load distribution and more control off-road. As mountain biking is a very dynamic sport with frequent changes in riding position, the motto here is: give it a try!
CONTEC Dynamic
The name says it all - the CONTEC Dynamic saddles are made for dynamic trails and speed. With features such as AirFoam filling and an extra-light nylon fibre composite shell, they are the ideal saddles for MTB cyclists. Thanks to the special welding of the shell and the synthetic PVC cover, the saddles are 100% waterproof, so you can get on your bike without any problems. Impacts caused by uneven surfaces are absorbed by the cushioning materials inside the saddle.
Your bike, your adventure
Seatposts
Full flow with the right seat height at all times: dropper posts have become indispensable on technically demanding trails and rough terrain. Using the remote lever on the cockpit, you can lower the post smoothly when the next downhill section is approaching and extend it again when it's time to ride. Depending on your preference and riding style, we offer you a wide range of options for efficient pedalling.
Pedals
The pedals of a sporty rider are super important. Whether for mountain biking, ATB, downhill, freeride, enduro or BMX - what you need in any case is a lot of grip. Platform pedals like classic MTB or ATB pedals are suitable for almost any terrain. A large tread surface and interchangeable pins offer you freedom and grip at the same time.
Wheels
With our CONTEC Core and CONTEC M.Core hubs, as well as our CONTEC Exit and CONTEC Xeta MTB rims, we have all the main components of a high quality MTB wheel set. All wheels are assembled in our wheel factory in Germany by experienced specialists and perfectly centred using the latest technology. We demonstrate how this works in our YouTube channel.
Tubeless
Originally coming out of the road bike sector, tubeless tyres are now also popular on the MTB scene. Being tubeless offers you a number of advantages: For example, they boast low rolling resistance and weight compared to conventional tyres. They are also less prone to punctures due to the lack of inner tubes and the ability to ride with lower air pressure offers you better traction and more comfort. We provide you with the necessary accessories such as tubeless valves, adapters and kits for checking and topping up the sealant.
CONTEC FastAir TL II MTB
The second generation of our CONTEC FastAir TL II tubeless valves awaits you with its well-known features: simple tubeless installation without a compressor or tyre booster, using only a floor pump. The unique valve design allows 300% more air flow than a normal Presta valve. Filling up the tyre sealant is also a breeze, with no mess at all. The FastAir TL II valves are also compatible with tyre inserts!
CONTEC MERGE Mountain Straight Kork
Optimised for a sporty riding position: the CONTEC MERGE Mountain Straight Cork grip is particularly skin-friendly and breathable thanks to its material. Sweat from your hands is quickly absorbed and shocks caused by uneven ground are directly cushioned so that your wrist is not subjected to too much strain. Another special feature of the MERGE grips is that they are compatible with our G-Link system. The G-Link interface allows you to attach practical accessories such as a dropper lever or bell directly to the grip.

Racks
If you're on a mountain bike, you don't usually have a lot of luggage. Most of the time, you only take the essentials in your backpack for riding the trail. But wouldn't it be nice to have the option of taking more with you on longer journeys? Our CRICKER can give you this flexibility. The rack can be attached directly to your seatpost in just a few seconds and can carry up to 10 kilograms. When you no longer need it, simply open the clamp and take the CRICKER off again. Easy peasy!
CONTEC Drop-A-Gogo II
Motivated by the success of our first generation of the Drop-A-Gogo dropper seatpost, we have listened carefully to feedback from bikers like you and are now proud to present the Drop-A-Gogo II! The new development brings numerous improvements, such as greater stiffness for even better control and an extended adjustment range of up to 230mm. Of course, you don't have to do without the familiar functions of our popular Drop-A-Gogo - the Drop-A-Gogo II can still be infinitely adjusted in height using a mechanical lever. All this within a few seconds, even while riding.
