2016 TrendsEvery year the bicycle industry has been gaining a momentum. Keep your eyes open to be in the swim. Comfort, speed and freedom in crowded centres of large cities - this is what users want. Cyclists appreciate two-wheelers’ sophisticated design and original style. And there a lot to chose from!
The 6th International Fair of Bicycle Industry KIELCE BIKE-EXPO promises to be exceptional owing to the novelties galore. There is still a great veil of secrecy, but the exhibitors allowed for a little sneak on the 2016’s most interesting products. This has made us even more curious and willing to visit the expo stands. Next season’s trends are presented on the next page. Our experts advise and describe the cycling industry’s growing spe-cialization. These new futuristic solutions make me surprised and curious. Those of you who love off-road, difficult, mountainous terrains should fo-cus on page four. This segment features MTB; a wheel, though it seems and old invention is now facing another revolution. The following pages are more to the taste of comfortable rides lovers who move about the urban jungle without losing on their original style.
You are also most welcome to visit Kielce and the area. When at the KIELCE BIKE-EXPO you cannot possibly miss the chance to see and try marked trails crafted for two-wheelers. Page twenty-second helps you ex-plore the Świętokrzyskie province’s charm seen from a bicycle saddle. The Green Velo Eastern Bike Trail is particularly interesting - the project joins the five provinces, the route starts Świętokrzyskie.
Hope to see you on 24-26 September 2015 at the KIELCE BIKE-EXPO. This is where a unique atmosphere is combined with business; this is a great contribution to cycling passion development.
Andrzej Mochoń PhD.Targi Kielce President of Board
Jan Zasada President of the Polish Cycling Association,
Kielce Bike-Expo co-organiser
- Poland’s bicycle expos have their geographical history - says Jan Zasada, the President of the Pol-ish Cycling Association, the originator of the Kielce exhibition. - In the early 90’s exhibitions were held in the former Polish cycling capital - Bydgoszcz. Then there was a short episode in Poznan followed by several Katowice editions. After a few-year break, shows were reactivated in Warsaw. Warsaw editions were overshadowed with the difficult period in Polish bicycle industry - the market down-turn. That was the time when Polish leading bicycles and bicycle parts manufacturers and importers in conjunction with wholesalers retailers founded the Polish Cycling Association. The Association - Polish industry and business-insiders organization has assumed the task of the bicycle sector facilitator. One of the objectives was to organize nationwide bicycle expos defined as a great bicycles-associated event which brings together business insiders. Fortunately Targi Kielce have fulfilled our demand. After short negotiations we succeeded to stage the first KIELCE BIKE-EXPO in October 2010. Over six years the event has advanced to become our part of Europe’s largest exhibition of this kind. This should be attributed to Targi Kielce’s management team and staff - vibrant, entrepreneurial and responsive to the exhibitors’ needs. They have been highly commended by exhibi-tors and visitors. Trade shows have been gathering momentum and gaining prestige not only in Europe, but also amongst the world-scale cycling milieus - adds President Zasada.

2016 Trends
They are designed to offer more comfort on potholed, bumpy roads. Trek Madone or Bianchi Specialissima are just the examples. Most brands can boast bicycles of this type. Examples - Granfondo BMC, Cannondale Synapse, Fuji Gran Fondo, Giant Defy, Meri-da Ride, Pulsium Lapierre, Orbea Avant and Scott Solace. Most of them are equipped with disc brakes. Now for amateurs; the UCI has only started tests in selected races (Tour de Pologne and the Vuelta). If tests are OK, disc brakes will be used in next season’s larger number of competitions. From 2017 the ban will be lifted.
Gravel-type bikes - this is another trend which has developed. Compared to off-roads they offer smoother geometry - these bikes are very versatile, designed for any kind of beaten tracks ranging from poor quality asphalts to gravel roads with lots of pebbles. In a nut-shell - these are even more radical endurance bike. Much wider tyres, strong wheels and often fitted with a sideways-curved handle bars to make the bike handling easier when riding off-road. The trend was initiated by Anyroad Giant. This season the whole GT Grade line joined. The 2016 season additions include the gravel-type Cannondale, Fuji, Marin, Romet, Scott and Superior.
Every year we see a greater number of tri-athlon-focussed cyclists. The bikeBoard maga-zine survey focussed on the 2014 season
For a number of years the bicycle industry and business sector have been gaining a momentum. If you want to keep abreast of the changes you re-ally have to really keep a close eye on the market. MTB faces an ongoing revolution when it comes to the wheels size; introduction 27.5” and 29” sizes has not been the last word, now it is time for the „plus” sizes: 27.5”+ and 29”+. Road-bikes are becoming increasingly professional; you can go for aerodynamics, trekking, gravel, triathlon... In road racing, disc brakes are about to be introduced in the regular races. However, bikes used for day-to-day commuting and recreation are still the most popular. Year after year an increased number of users opts for this convenient and a quick way of moving about crowded city centres. Electric motor kits have already be-come a popular bicycle-accessory.
revealed the actual triathlon popularity. 64 events of various distances brought together 7010 triathletes; they crossed the finish line 14 095 times. This season, though has not finished yet, promises to be even more suc-cessful. The calendar of events comprises more than 100 races, including the 5 cycles. Big global companies have recognised Polish triathlon. Ironman competitions series were held in Gdynia; this was the opportunity to qualify for the World Cup in Australia. Poznan will be the stage for the race held under the Challenge banner (the second-largest brand right after Ironman). There is much more to it! It has been officially announced - next year the Tyniec village near Krakow will see

Road cycling in Poland has recently been experiencing a renaissance. Buoyed up
with our professional cyclists’ recent suc-cesses, road-bikes have been gaining an in-creased popularity. However there is much more than aerodynamics, even these bikes cannot possibly be lumped together as the industry has developed a strong specialisa-tion. Aerodynamic designs help ride faster in races and on flat stretches. At the same time more and more attention has been paid to professional bike-product range.

the cross triathlon competition of the Xterra Series (an equivalent to Ironman, off-road version) This is a chance for the 25 slots for the World Championships in Hawaii. When it comes to bikes, triathlon is organized accord-ing to the two principles. The Olympic dis-tances competition (drafting permitted and organized by ITU federation). UCi-approved road bikes are used. Aero version is most welcome. More and more brands include such machines in their collections : BMC TimeMachine, Fuji Transonic, Propel Giant, Merida Reacto or Scott’s 2016 season’s new Foil model. There is also the impressive Look 795 Aerolight or Specialized S-Works Venge Vias - perfect bikes for drafting triathlons. The Ironman competitions where wheel-to-wheel or pack rides are not allowed admit time-trial bicycles and special tri- construc-tions. More and more brands present on the Polish market have at least one triath-lon model in their collections. Scott offers Plasma. Giant, introduces the new Trinity for the 2016 season. Look offers an incredible 596 frame. Cannondale has the new SLICE, Orbea offers Ordu at an affordable price. Fuji boasts Norcom Straight. Domestic-market Kross gives you the Vento TR. Thriathlon is much more than bikes. Many global brands have already entered our market; they have offered accessories such as foams, outfits or aerodynamic gear: 2XU, BlueSeventy, Com-
pressport, FuelBelt, HUUB, Orca, Pearl Izumi, Profile Design, Sailfish, Scott, TorHans, TYR, Zone3, Zoggs, Zoot, ZeroD and many others. Next season has lots to toffer.
In the mountain bike segment the changes are so rapid that people who do not fol-low new developments on a regular basis cannot keep up the pace. Until recently introduction of the new wheel sizes came as a shock. Now this has become a regular practice. 29” wheels are mostly used with HT bicycles (rigid frame) for cross-country and marathon. The fully suspended models with suspension-travel not exceeding 120 mm come on the two wheel sizes - 650B and 29”, with a slight predominance of larger ones. Some brands, such as Scott, offer models with both wheel sizes (Spark series 900 and 700). The 650B are more advantageous with a greater suspension travel. There has also been a change in the field of gravita-tional cycling such as FR or DH - new bicycle models are based on 27.5” wheels. 26” size has now been pushed into a niche and it can be found with lowest-price range bikes and bikes for children, promoted as “twenty-niner for juniors”. These can be found in the Orbea (MX 26), Scott (Scale JR 26) or Romet (Dirt 26) product assortment. Fatbikes with tires wider than 4” in diameter feature a similar wheel rims to the 26” and still

generate an avid interest. However among off-road bikes there is a tendency to reach out for more comprehensive solutions. Wheels marked „+” are based on tire ranges from 2.8” to 3”. This presses for wider rims of 27.5” and 29” in diameter. Scott has conducted a study and found out that the „+” tire of 2.8” boasts 21% larger contact area compared to 2.35” width. This translates into to a much better grip. A possibility to lower the pressure (ap-prox. 1 bar) is big advantage. This increases comfort, and reduces puncture risk as might be the case with bigger inner-tubes. Interest-ingly enough, according to the same study wide tires have been found to increase rolling resistance only slightly. That is why Scott has introduced a full range of „+” bicycles such as Scale Plus, E-genius + Genius + and Genius LT. Competition do not fall behind; Trek
Stache, Kross Pure Trail and Smooth Trail, Orbea Liki, Cannondale Bad Habit + as well as Beast of the East 27+, Specialized Fuse, Stumpjumper FSR Six Fattie, KTM Kapoho. The wider tires, however pushed away the chain and therefore resulted in wider hubs. The width of the front one has also increased - Boost standard front - 110, back 148 mm. As

the result, spokes are set at a greater angle which increases the wheel rigidity. A wider hub structure expands the rear triangle construction, this is why a vast majority of plus-wheeled bikes feature boost-hubs. This technology, however is not exclusive for wide tires. For instance, Trek has also used it in its new models with conventional tyres.

The market of e-bikes has been increas-ing every year. Gary Fisher, one of the MTB founding fathers, a designer and visionary said only recently, „It’s going to be the next big thing”. In the near future this will be one of predominant trends in the bicycle industry. Though cycling milieus still find e-bikes controversial, motors which boost the cyclists’ muscle power are mounted also in more sophisticated designs. For example in bikes for difficult-terrain rides, such as Specialized Turbo Levo which boasts an amazing integration degree. Trek Powerfly + FS, Scott E-Genius, E-Spark also have them. Haibike is a real record-breaker. The com-pany offers a whole range of electric-assist bicycles - from fatbikes to road bikes. Today, centrally located crankshaft-mechanism mo-tors have become a clear trend. As a result the centre of gravity is concentrated in the support area. The bike is more controllable and its high mass is less noticeable, it does not impose load on either wheel. Future however belongs to structures in which the electrical system (motor, battery, controls) will be fully integrated into the frame. This eliminates today’s solutions’ disadvantages such as a very long rear triangle. It will allow for a better weight distribution and improve the bike’s aesthetics. At present, German’s Bosch dominates the market of electric motors for bicycles. Other brands do not in-tend to lose grounds. Market sees competi-tive solutions offered by Shimano, Yamaha and many others. The Continental joins the flock in 2016’s season. City bikes segment is growing the fast-est of all categories. Crowded cities, high fuel prices, improving infrastructure for
bicycles and healthy lifestyle craze have made the bike a great alternative to the car and public transport. City bikes, however are of different characters. For commuters the 28”-wheeled, slick-tires bicycles are the best option; these have flat handlebars and a sports-style position. These bikes are put on the market by Kross (Noru, Seto, Inzai), Romet (Mistral), Scott (SUB Speed), Schock-blaze (Croxer man Cross), Viva (Extrava-ganza), Cannondale (Quick, Bad Boy). Ladies opt for stylish bikes of sophisticated shapes and colours, often equipped with baskets. Perfect for an elegant ride. There are com-panies which specialize in such bikes and target the whole product range for such clients. Among them there are Electra, Cos-sack, Creme, Gazelle, Medano, Pin Up Girl, Viva. There are companies whose portfolios
encompass ladies-targeted products. These include Kross (Vivo and Classico model), Romet (Vintage, Mixed, Cameo). In larger cit-ies with larger distances, electric-assist bikes have proven to be more popular. They enjoy much greater popularity than their MTB counterparts. E-city bikes can be found with Cannondale, Giant, KTM, and Kreidler.

Świętokrzyskie boasts a diversi-fied offer for cy-clists - facts and figures cannot lie. In the region there is a 3000-kilome-tre network com-posed of about 70 marked bike and hiking routes. However statistics are hardly able to present the experi-ences galore and the landscape beauty the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship offers for all cyclists. Re-gardless the incen-tive a biker finds to take to bikes - in this region there is something for everyone.
Off-road enthusiasts, amateurs of steep and rocky paths going up and down will certainly appre-ciate the Kielce „Forest Stadium” route (with its two professional loops of 13 and 14 km) as well as the steep slopes of Telegraph Mount. For several years Telegraph has been holding the sway in Kielce’s downhill cycling. The woodlands trails mainly belong to the city’s administrative area which makes them easily accessible for cyclists who look for accommo-dation in the province’s capital city. In the direct vicinity of Kielce there is Maslow municipality; its bike trails follow the footsteps of Stefan Żeromski who would spend his childhood in the area. Ciekoty, where the Żeromskis family manor house used to be marks the beginning of the trails.
cyclisTs! ŚwięTOkrzyskie welcOMes
The Yellow Bike Trail goes around Masłowski mountain range, the Blue one sets off in Cie-koty and stretches as far as Wola Kopcowa, the Green one leads from Ciekoty to Święta Katarzyna. The routes go along asphalt and soil-surfaced roads and offer unforgettable views over the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. However Świętokrzyskie bike trails are much more than mountains and hill courses. The Włoszczowa area is a perfect place for one or two-day trips. This marked trail is called „Forests Around Włoszczowa”. It starts in the forest tree nursery in Koniec-
zno; the educational trail and showroom pro-vide a great chance to become acquainted with the local flora and fauna of Włoszczowa district. The information you acquire in Konieczo will certainly help in discov-ering the beauty of local forests. Local woodlands abound with treasures of history which remind us of the land’s Second World War turbulent history. The trails in Końskie are not difficult either. Nature lovers, especially ornithology aficionados cannot resist a trip to the Krasna Valley. In the valley there is the 52-kil-ometre trail marked green which mainly goes along asphalt roads. Its main attraction is the „Upper Krasna” nature reserve; owing to its specific character it has gained the „the Biebrza river in miniature” name. The area plays an impor-tant role in protection programmes for rare and threatened with extinction species of birds, primarily those in
hatching season such as the black and white stork, black grouse and others. Other rare migratory species, such as the ruff or the redpol have also been found here. Bike-related tourism is much more than one-cyclist or group trails-traversing, these are also events cut out for two-wheels lov-ers. Końskie Bike Marathon is particularly interesting; participants can choose from several route-options of various lengths and difficulty degrees. Mountain biking fans can also take part in the MTB Marathon Cross series.
