Cyclingworld Europe is growing. This year, there will be 8,000 square metres more exhibition space and, for the first time, an Urban Hub at Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz in the city centre will complement the Böhler site. The underground lines U70 and U76 connect both locations in 15 minutes travelling time.

Around 400 exhibitors will be presenting around 500 brands and their innovations in eight halls. Last year there were six halls. The Cyclingworld Awards will also be presented again. An expert jury will judge products and there will also be a public vote.

Discover and experience

Small and large brands can be found at the bike fair in Düsseldorf, and there are stands by female artists right next to the stands of industry giants such as Canyon, Giant and Cube. For example, Jule Kritzelt's cute stand has been directly opposite Specialized in recent years. The big-name component manufacturers are also on site: Shimano, Campagnolo and SRAM.

In the Demoworld area, there will be bikes from around 90 brands to test, from classic bikes and e-bikes to cargo, urban and folding bikes. Test rides are also possible at the Urban Hub on Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz. Children can ride in secure areas, while older children can use the courses. The Puky Kids World will once again be set up at the Areal Böhler, a hall where the little ones can conquer small obstacles on balance bikes and mini bikes, for example.

Sandra Schuberth, sometimes an after-work ride, sometimes a training ride, sometimes an unsupported bikepacking challenge. The main thing is her and her gravel bike - away from the traffic. Seven Serpents, Badlands or Bright Midnight: she has finished challenging bikepacking races. Gravel and bikepacking are her favourite subjects, and her demands on equipment are high. What she rides, uses and recommends has to stand the test of time: not in marketing, but in real life.
