#Eurobike2024 Recap: - Despite high hopes for market improvement in the short term, the forecast remains elusive. - #Ebikes sales totaled 800,000 units, a 1.23% decrease from the previous year. #Bicycle sales amounted to 650,000 units, marking a 19% decrease. - The clearance of warehouses is proving more time-consuming than anticipated. Priority is on clearing out existing stock before replenishing and ordering new components. - Over 1,800 exhibitors at the event were met with an exceptionally positive atmosphere. With participants from 60+ countries, the trade show attracted 35,000 industry visitors and over 33,000 bike enthusiasts. Notably, non-European representation surged to 35%, making it the most international event to date. - The #Bicycleindustry now holds a seat at the table within the European Commission, shaping discussions at the highest levels. Political decision-making in Brussels now acknowledges and values the bicycle industry's input. #Eurobike #BicycleIndustry #TradeShow #MarketTrends #EuropeanCommission #CyclingCommunity

And so it was already the second time for MOTUL that the Bike Care range was showcased at EUROBIKE Show, the world's leading event for the bicycle industry. Integrated into the presence of the local Germany-based distribution partner Messingschlager GmbH Co. KG, 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝟮𝗕 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, e.g. for bicycle workshops, were presented to the global audience in addition to the main act: The 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝟮𝗖 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. As another highlight, the 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀, which are divided into an on-road and off-road range, were presented as 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗖𝗜 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. As sponsor of the Team Cofidis and the BMC Racing Team, Motul was in the meanwhile also able to obtain valuable feedback from the use of its Bike Care products in a professional context at both competitions. Overall, Eurobike shows that 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 - the consistent change towards comprehensive sustainability, innovation in all product and functional areas and the responsible takeover of the role as a driver of mobility change are not new approaches or insights - but a strong sign of consistency and continuous further development. I am therefore all the more pleased that Motul is now repeatedly part of this important industry event and can make its own contribution to change.

This is Gertjan, founder of GRAVAA. Gertjan is minding his own business because he’s on a mission.   A mission to introduce adaptable tyre pressure. A mission to help people ride bikes better; more efficient, in better comfort, safer.   GRAVAA's product KAPS, earned global interest in 2023.   When three Jumbo-Visma riders rode KAPS in Paris-Roubaix, the world toughest one day road race. The race had its obstacles, but the team minded it's own business. It went on to win all three Grand Tours of 2023!   Today is April 9, two days after Paris-Roubaix 2024. A race without KAPS, but a future with KAPS.   Mainstream media questioned the absence of KAPS. Global Cycling Network (Warner Bros. Discovery Sports), Outside, Cyclingnews.com, Eurosport, Bicycling Magazine, VRT guessed what happened. Non of them was right, shortly they’ll understand whats going on.   Like Jumbo-Visma in 2023, Gertjan is minding his own business.   GRAVAA is in full swing to achieve it's most significant milestone to date: opening an Eindhoven / in-house based assembly factory.   Supported by previous and new investors that factory enables GRAVAA to scale the production of KAPS. Enabling GRAVAA to help wheel and bike manufacturers around the world improve their already great product with KAPS as an OEM product.    Oh and Visma | Lease a bike?    WielerFlits spoke to their Head of Performance Equipment, who said: "Since last year, we have been fully engaged in fine-tuning the system and collectively generating as much test data as possible on tire pressure. Once that process is definitively completed, we will start using it. To hear that from the TOP team Team Visma l Lease a Bike is a massive motivation to follow Gertjan's course.    If you’re curious about #GRAVAA, #KAPS, KAPS as OEM product or our trajectory. 1) subscribe to the GRAVAA newsletter at the bottom of our webpages https://lnkd.in/e-kDWrbP 2) contact us here 3) or send your question to L.Luijbregts@gravaa.com    GRAVAA, the adaptable tyre pressure system #RollSmootherRideBetter
