This year’s pre-Eurobike week was a little less crazy than normal, a calm before the storm so to speak. Which means next week is gonna be bonkers. The show starts Wednesday, but we’ll have quite a few sneak peaks going live Monday and Tuesday, and then the floodgates open.
For now, look back on quite a few new bikes, including the Otso startup from our friends at Wolf Tooth Components, a surprising number of new helmets from all over the world, pro bike checks and more launches from Crankworx. Oh, and the usual collection of new bike goodies, too. On the industry side, we broke news of HIA Velo’s U.S. carbon manufacturing setting up shop in Little Rock, Arkansas, and of American Classic announcing a new OEM hub, rim and wheel line. Check it all out below, with every headline from this past week opening in a new tab for easy reading…
