Ribble Cycles
Ribble revamped its entire range this time last year, and they make some really good bikes that have reviewed extremely well here on road.cc, like the Endurance SL R above.
It also created waves with its Endurance SL e e-bike which is one of the best looks-like-a-normal-road-bike examples we’ve yet seen.
Egan Bernal’s Pinarello Dogma F12
This is your chance to get up close to the yellow Pinarello Dogma F21 that Tour de France winner Egan Bernal rode on the final stage around Paris.
Colnago V3RS
The latest lightweight aero race bike from the famous Italian company will be on display so you can check out all the changes to this third-generation bike for yourself.
Cannondale's new bikes
Cannondale has launched loads of new models this year and you’ll be able to see them on UK soil for the first time at the Cycle Show. Highlights include the brand new CAAD 13, SuperSix Evo and Topstone Carbon.
Saris indoor trainers
Earlier this week Saris launched its brand new H3 smart trainer & MP1 moving platform for indoor training, and you'll be able to check them out in the flesh at the show. The moving platform is a really exciting idea aimed at making indoor riding more realistic.
Kask Team Ineos replica helmets
Want to emulate Team Ineos? You can now that Kask has launched replica helmets on three of its top-end helmet models, the Utopia, Valegro and Protone. See them at the Cycle Show.
Continental's new tyres
The German tyre brand has launched two new gravel tyres and you’ll be able to see them up close at the show. The Terra Speed and the Terra Trail come in two sizes, 650 x 40B (440g) and 700 x 40C (460g), are tubeless and use the company’s Black Chili Compound and all feature their ProTection Technology.
Shimano does gravel with new RX groupset
Big news from Shimano this year is the launch of GRX, its first dedicated gravel groupset. It’s been a long time coming, but after teasing with Ultegra RX last year, it’s finally here. The new offering provides a wide spread of possible builds including 10 and 11-speed, 1x and 2x, mechanical and electronic, wide or close-range gears and dropper post-integration.
Tioga’s new Binary all-road tyre
Tioga, a brand old-timer mountain bikers will remember, is showing its new Binary, an all-road tyre. It uses a “combination” tread with a smooth centre section for low rolling resistance and elongated ridge knobs for cornering grip.
All-City Cycles Zig Zag
You’ll be able to clap eyes on the lovely new Zig Zag from All-City Cycles. It’s a steel road bike designed to mix classic style with modern performance. Tyre clearance is a key talking point with modern road bikes. The Zig Zag has space for up to 32mm without mudguards, 35mm without. That opens the bike up for some light gravel and dirt use with a few good tyres in that size range that will cope with some rough stuffing.
Redshift ShockStop suspension seat post and stem
With the rise of gravel bikes and more people riding rough stuff, there’s a growing appetite for products to provide a smoother ride. The Redshift Suspension Seatpost and Shockstop Suspension Stem achieve that, providing vibration absorption for gravel applications.
Miss Grape’s new Moon bar bag
Miss Grape makes a whole host of bikepacking bags and it’ll be showing its brand new Moon bar bag at the show. The bag simply attaches to the handlebar and is ideal for stashing snacks, tools and/or camera for recording your adventure.
Just Riding Along
Just Riding Along is expanding its wheel range to include 30, 40 and 50mm depths on its Mahi Mahi model, with weights from a claimed 1,321g and priced at a very reasonable £850.
It also has a new Map Superlight aluminium disc brake wheel weighing a claimed 1,351g and priced at £390. They do have an 85kg rider weight limit and come in a 650b version which apparently is even lighter.
See.Sense launch new ICON2 light
Winter is fast approaching and See.Sense has developed its latest ICON2 light, boasting 300 lumens in the rear light and 400 lumens in the front, with a claimed 16-hour run time.

Well, thanks for correcting me, I thought that bike was still in production! That bike was great though, too bad, so sad it's gone.

Anti-cycling programs or articles always get a lot of attention or comments, so they are very good for media advertisers.
This is a screenshot in low light and drizzle at approx 15mph. It's pretty decent in my opinion. I have mounted mine on my offside seat stay within...
Ah - yes, they've got an American Star the wrong way round (means the child carrier needs rearranged though). Or it could be a Facile but inverted?
