The covers are about to be lifted at Eurobike 2013, the world’s biggest bike show, and excitement is mounting about what new bike gear will be unveiled. We’ve been spotting new bikes at the Demo Day, including the new Focus SAM enduro machine, but BikeRadar also popped into the main show halls for a sneak peek.
All the world’s major bike brands are putting finishing touches to their stands ahead of tomorrow’s show, with fork-lifts and hammers giving way to track pumps and polishing kits, and aluminium and carbon taking centre stage.
With about 45,000 visitors expected, competition is high to catch people’s eyes with the best bikes and most show-stopping displays – see our image gallery, right, for our pre-show finds.
