On its website, Propain boldly calls the Hugene the "one bike to rule them all." Has the German direct-to-consumer brand finally cracked the code?
Neutral, intuitive handling
Efficient climber
Lightweight
Lots of customization options in Europe
Sealed bearing covers
Less small-bump sensitivity than some bikes we tested
Ineffective frame port protection
Few customization options in the US

We had the exclusive chance to test the new Propain Hugene 2021 trail bike for you and tell you whether this 29" mountain bike is a true all-rounder.
Precise steering
Neutral-pedalling suspension
Great look with cool features
Easy to use configurator
Tires limit the potential of the bike
Overly wide bars

A perky climber that doesn’t shy away on descents and shows exceptional value to boot
Excellent climbing manners coupled with super capable descending prowess
Top-drawer kit leaves you checking price again and again
It’s a little prone to poor suspension balance, so needs care when setting up

We tested the Propain Hugene, a brand new mid-travel 29er from Germany. Specced with a full carbon frame, and high-end components to match.
