In the ever-evolving world of cycling, the latest developments are always fascinating to explore. While specific information about Eurobike 2022 remains scarce, insights from Eurobike 2025 offer a glimpse into the evolving landscape of road and gravel bikes.
**Road Bikes**
One of the most notable advancements is the Vredestein Superpasso Pro Tyres, which boast advanced TriComp and Active Control technologies for improved speed and cornering grip. These tyres are available in various sizes, including 700x25C, 700x28C, and 700x32C.
Another exciting revelation is the Pinarello Dogma F12, a new road bike featuring a redesigned frame, improved aerodynamics, and an integrated cockpit.
**Gravel Bikes**
Gravel cycling continues to gain popularity, and Eurobike 2025 highlighted gravel bikes as a key focus. Vredestein has expanded its gravel tyre range to meet this growing demand, offering new sizes and models.
Orbea has also entered the gravel scene with two new offerings: the Terra Race, designed for speed, and the Terra, designed for longer rides and adventures. Wilier's Rave is a gravel race bike that offers UK-friendly clearance for 50mm tyres, making it a more versatile offering.
**Wheels and Accessories**
Innovations like Shimano's Q'AUTO system for city, mountain, and gravel bikes, which includes AI-driven automatic gear shifting based on speed, cadence, and slope, are enhancing the cycling experience without requiring batteries.
The TQ HPR40 Drive System is among the lightest available for road and gravel bikes, weighing just 1,170g for the motor. Mavic has also updated its range of wheels, clothing, footwear, and helmets, with the Cosmic Pro Carbon SL Disc wheelset, Cosmic Pro Carbon SL SLR shoe, and Mavic Helium Pro helmet standing out.
**Other Trends**
Eurobike 2025 emphasized e-drive systems and urban mobility solutions, reflecting the industry's shift towards sustainable and versatile cycling options. Cixi's Vigoz prototype, a pedal-powered vehicle reaching speeds up to 120 km/h, challenges traditional bike designs and highlights the evolution of cycling technology beyond traditional bicycles.
Abus has introduced the Airbreaker 2.0 helmet, which features a more traditional style setup with seven deep channels to help keep you cool when the temperature rises. It's not a full aero helmet, but it has improved its aerodynamic properties with the introduction of a carbon blade, which also boosts structural integrity and impact resistance.
Giant's Seek range includes kids' bikes with custom shift levers, simple 1x electronic shifting, short and shallow custom handlebars, narrow saddles, and carbon 650b wheelset. Smith offers a Network helmet and glasses combo that leans into the 'Gravel is just a '90s mountain bike' aesthetic for those who love a bit of a 1990s aesthetic.
Uswe has a prototype pack designed for gravel racing that draws inspiration from its trail running and hiking lines, featuring a tight fit for aero gains, strategically placed pockets for essentials, and a large concealed back section for a bladder.
Lastly, Rotor and Wheeltop are rumoured to be partnering to bring a new groupset to the market. Mavic is bringing back the Ksyrium in a rim brake setup, as well as a disc version, suitable for those still running rim brakes or looking to revive a classic bike.
