Exclusive Preview: Whistle 2026 & AXR Carbon with DJI Avinox!

Hi everyone! After a busy season, we’re taking advantage of this quieter period to bring you more exclusive content. Today, we’re diving into Whistle-Atala, the Italian brand on the rise, for a sneak peek at their 2026 range!

An Impressive Visit to Whistle’s HQ in Monza, Italy In September, we were invited, along with other French retailers, to tour one of Whistle’s three warehouses—a massive 12,000 m² space with 24,000 bikes in stock! A huge thank you to Massimo, Andrea, and Gérald for their warm welcome, expertise, and market insights, shared in a friendly atmosphere with rides around Montevecchia and top-tier Italian cuisine.

The Star of 2026: AXR Carbon e-MTB with DJI Avinox Motor We got an exclusive first look at the big 2026 novelty: the AXR, a high-end, full-carbon e-MTB. This model combines performance, lightweight design, and cutting-edge technology with the DJI Avinox motor, a game-changer in the e-MTB world.

Who Are Whistle and Atala? Less known in France, these Italian brands are major players in Italy with over 1,800 retail points. Backed by Accell Group (Lapierre, Haibike, Ghost, etc.), they remain family-run, innovative, and independent in their decisions. At Alberabike, we’ve been distributing their products for nearly 5 years, and we’re proud of their quality and ultra-competitive price-to-equipment ratio.

A Streamlined and High-Performance 2026 Range The new collection features 90 models, from MTB to road bikes, with premium components:

e-MTB: Shimano 12-speed Di2 derailleurs, Race Face components.
Road/Gravel: Sram Rival XPLR 13-speed groupset, Vision and FSA peripherals.

Whistle: A Brand Driven by Competition Thanks to their Enduro MTB Team (2025 Italian champions), Whistle continuously improves its models, like the B-Rush (Bosch Gen 5 motor) and the new AXR.

Pricing and Availability of Whistle AXR with DJI Avinox The AXR carbon models are priced competitively from €5,399 to €9,199. Pre-orders are open—don’t wait, stock will be limited! Deliveries start in April 2026.
