A dedicated space for cycling brands to connect with serious riders

The Cycling section at OutdoorXpo is built for brands who want meaningful engagement with an active, purchasing audience. With 7.4 million cyclists in England alone and a market actively recovering and innovating, this is the right moment to be in the room.

  • Showcase bikes, accessories and clothing within a dedicated cycling environment
  • Demonstrate technology - including e-bikes and smart cycling products - to curious, open-minded buyers
  • Connect directly with riders who are planning purchases, upgrades and events
  • Position your brand alongside retailers, clubs and the wider cycling community

Cyclists who attend shows are not casual browsers. They arrive informed, engaged, and ready to compare. They want to handle the product, ask questions, and make decisions. The show floor is where brand awareness becomes brand preference - and brand preference becomes purchase.

The result is an environment where the entire purchase journey - from discovery to decision - can happen in a single visit. For brands with strong product stories to tell, there is no better platform.

What's in the zone

Everything under one roof

The Cycling area brings together product, expertise and community in one place - from road and gravel to mountain biking, e-bikes and beyond.

Bike showcase and test rides

Visitors can get up close with the latest road, gravel, mountain and e-bikes from leading brands. Test rides, fit sessions and expert advice make this the most effective retail environment in the UK cycling calendar.

Components, accessories and clothing

From groupsets and wheels to helmets, eyewear and cycling apparel - the show floor brings the full spectrum of cycling product to a single, motivated audience ready to browse, compare and buy.

E-bike experience zone

A dedicated area for electric cycling - helping brands cut through media noise with real, hands-on product experience. For riders considering the switch, nothing beats trying it in person with confident, knowledgeable staff on hand.

Expert talks and coaching

A programme of sessions covering training, nutrition, sportive preparation, cycling for beginners and performance riding - attracting audiences across ability levels and creating natural dwell time around exhibitor stands.

Routes, events and club discovery

Cycling clubs, sportive organisers and route specialists showcase events and destinations from across the UK and Europe. Visitors arrive looking for their next ride - and leave with a full calendar.

Maintenance, servicing and skills

Practical workshops and live demos covering bike maintenance, safety checks and riding skills. A draw for beginners and experienced cyclists alike - and a natural entry point for brands in tools, lubricants and workshop products.

Cyclists come to shows to make decisions, not browse. This audience arrives having already done their research. They want to handle product, ask questions and compare in person. The show floor is where decisions get made - and deals get done.
The e-bike opportunity is significant and growing. With 37% of visitors interested in electric cycling, OutdoorXpo gives e-bike brands the most effective platform in the UK - real test time with real customers, cutting through the noise of negative media coverage with confident, hands-on experience.
Gravel and adventure cycling is the sector's brightest spot. Gravel was the only UK cycling segment to grow in 2023, and it continues to attract high-spending, experience-led riders. OutdoorXpo's outdoor adventure audience is a natural fit for brands in this space.
