Following a cash injection, Grenoble-based Vario Bikes (dual, freeride, DH and trials) is upping its production and wants distributors in the UK, Germany and Italy.

French DH and trials brand seeks European distribution

Vario Bikes was formed in 1994 and has specialised in downhill bikes from the start.

The company makes 10 000 hand-built bikes per year.

In 2000 the Tibo trials bike was the machine of choice of world champion Marc Vinco. The Vario Bomba freeride bike has won several Megavalanches at Alpe d`huez, the longest

downhill race in the world.

Vario Bike’s Christian Guillet believes there’s potential for opening 50-75 IBD accounts in the UK and wants a UK distributor to get in touch.
