Beyond the displays of bicycles and components, the event will feature rides, talks, and other activities designed to engage both industry professionals and the public. The exhibition space, exceeding 20,000 square meters, will host manufacturers, dealers, brands, media, and cycling fans. Organizers emphasize the show’s focus on not just the products themselves, but also on related themes like bike fitting, safety, sustainability, urban mobility, bikepacking, and cycling tourism.
