I-ride has announced the dates for its 2015 Velodrome Trade Tour.
The trade-exclusive events will showcase the prestige brands distributed by Sussex-based i-ride, across three velodromes: Starting in the home of British Cycling, Manchester Velodrome, on July 28th before heading to London’s Lee Valley Velopark on July 30th, the tour will also travel to Wales and the Wales National Velodrome in Newport on August 6th.
Dealers and press will be able to preview 2016 ranges from De Rosa, Argon 18, Orro and more and there will be "huge dealer incentives" on 2016 pre orders for those dealers who attend, as well as some world exclusive product launches of 2016 product from the likes of fulcrum, 3T, Birzman, Catlike and Northwave.
I-ride’s marketing manager Rob Jarman said: “Last year was our first Velodrome Trade Tour and a great success, so this year we’ll be improving on the format including even more exclusive product to preview. With 3 shows, dealers won’t have to travel too far to attend and there will be representatives from the major brands at all the shows to answer product related questions as well as the i-ride sales team. We’ve had sneak peaks at what’s coming from the likes of Argon 18 and fulcrum already, it’s going to be an exciting event with what’s in store for 2016.”
The events will open between 9am and 4pm with refreshments served throughout the day and a buffet lunch served between 12 and 2.30pm.
