Product news: f.re.e Munich 2016: Bicycle impressions from the leisure fair

February 13rd 2016 by Michael Faiss

Market: We did a few laps in the bicycle hall at the Free leisure fair, which is taking place in the Munich trade fair city until Sunday, and captured some impressions for you with the camera. E-bikes are once again proving to be the industry's driving force.

The German trials professional Hannes Herrmann shows spectacular tricks in front of a jam-packed stage and to the thunderous applause of the spectators.
Otherwise, e-bikes dominated in the bicycle hall - not surprisingly, Bosch also had its own large stand where the latest drives were presented.

Also on site was the Austrian manufacturer Vivax, whose compact drive has received inglorious attention in recent weeks in the wake of the e-doping scandal.

Of course, the Austrians from KTM were again guests in the Bavarian capital with e-bikes, MTBs and racers.
E-MTBs with 650b tires were also on display here – the KTM Macina Kapoho

It was stylish at the Creme Cycles stand ... we had already fallen in love with the copper-colored cafe racers at last year's Eurobike.
As always at the free, numerous regional associations and cycle tourism companies are also guests.
