As exclusive UK distributor of SRAM, the brand will have a large presence at the show, featuring Zipp, Avid, Truvatic and Rockshox 2012 ranges. Highlights will include the new SRAM X0, Apex and Red finish options as well as the new Avid brakes and Zipp Firecrest wheels.
The 2012 Look road bikes will be displayed too, including special 695 frames and the recently announced complete bikes, as well as the new 2012 MTB range. The latest from Troy Lee Designs, Santini, Met, Bluegrass, Smart lights, Basil and Tacx will also be showcased.
“Our experience in 2010 proved to us that the Cycle Show is a very effective way of introducing consumers to our key new products and brands and allows cycling enthusiasts to get up close and personal with the latest kit,” explained marketing and communications manager Steve Cromwell.
“It is also a great way for us to gather consumer feedback on our products and to support our retailers in helping to create further consumer and media interest in our brands.
“We will be announcing details of some exclusive new products and rider appearances soon so please stay tuned for further information.”
