Countless exhibitors - but which ones to see? There are lots of interesting things to see, but here's what you shouldn't miss.

For the first time, Eurobike is opening its doors to end consumers for two days. However, the trade fair in Friedrichshafen is large and confusing for some. To make things a little easier, we have ten tips on which exhibitors you definitely need to visit. Just to start with - our big favorite comes from the neighboring country, has up to 220 millimeters of travel, but is not a suspension fork.

Kind Shock, Hall B1/ Stand 206

The Kind Shock stand is definitely worth a visit. The seatpost gurus are not to be outdone and are the second manufacturer to show their radio-controlled "Lev Circuit" variable seatpost with a remote control that can be adapted to thumb ergonomics. There are also lightweight mechanical versions of the Lev in carbon.

Rocky Mountain, Hall B4/ Stand 200

The Canadian cult brand has presented some great bikes over the course of the year. Already beautifully presented on the web, the classy bikes make even more of an impression in real life. Which of the new Rockys is your favorite? The comfortable Pipeline, the lightweight Element, the enduro bullet Slayer or even the kids' bike "Reaper"?

RTI Sports / Ergon, Hall B4/ Stand 102

Two interesting things from the Ergon ergonomics department will be on show. One is their new, supportive shoe inserts, developed in collaboration with Solestar, and the other is a lightweight back protector for the sporty enduro rider with minimal storage space for a hydration bladder and tools.

Liteville / Eightpins, off-road / stand B9/1

It's probably the big novelty at the trade fair and everyone's favorite. Eightpins is presenting a variable seatpost designed using completely new approaches. This is a fully integrated solution that does not require a seat clamp and offers up to 220 millimetres of travel
.

Brake Force One, Hall A2/ Stand 310

Another "must see" for technology enthusiasts: the brake tinkerers amazed visitors last year with their water brake. This year, they will be showcasing their ABS system for e-bikes in Friedrichshafen.

Bike Ahead Composites / Stoll Bikes, Hall B1/ Stand 510

As reported in the spring, Thomas Stolls has his high-quality bikes manufactured by carbon specialists Bike Ahead Composites in Germany. For this reason, Stolls M1 Marathon can be admired at their stand.

MG Components / Newmen, outdoor area / stand B7/2

Carbon parts are a dime a dozen, but colored ones? The young brand Newmen is presenting a limited edition line of rims, handlebars and seatposts made from very high-quality and colored carbon fibres - something different.

BMC, Hall B3/ Stand 302

The Grenchen-based company has kept a low profile when it comes to e-mountainbikes - until now: BMC is showing a cracker of a pedelec at Eurobike. Although the frame is an unrideable 3D print, the result is really worth seeing. The prototype of this can also be seen.

AX-Lightness, Hall B3/ Stand 406

Purists and fans of lightweight construction should definitely not miss the stand of carbon artists AX-Lightness. In addition to fantastically beautiful parts, there will also be their Eurobike Award-winning hardtail that weighs just seven kilograms.

Scott Sports, Hall B1/ Stand 200

Of course there is Nino Schurter's Olympic bike to admire at Scott, but it's worth taking your eyes off it at some point. Scott is also showing a completely new e-mountain bike based on the new Spark, as well as a wide range of cool and innovative backpacks, helmets and shoes.
