"The Demo Day as a combination of new product show and bike event is an excellent start to Eurobike and offers the unique opportunity to experience the trends of the new season in action," summarizes Managing Director Klaus Wellmann.

The ninth Eurobike Demo Day 2015, which took place directly adjacent to the exhibition grounds for the second time this year, featured a top-class line-up: in Friedrichshafen, the 'who's who' of the global bike industry presented the latest road bikes, e-bikes, recumbents, folding bikes and mountain bikes. The product tests covered five bike routes with a route network of 20 kilometers, a specially constructed mountain bike course and, for the first time, a new wooden pump track.

"Our prologue for the 24th Eurobike was a success. The Demo Day feedback is excellent and we are delighted that with (a new record of) 2,731 trade visitors (2014: 2,642), many bike enthusiasts took the opportunity to try out the bike premieres for the coming year," said Eurobike Project Manager Dirk Heidrich, summing up the start. Numerous media representatives also took the opportunity to test the developments for the 2016 season in advance. In addition, 788 journalists from 34 nations reported on the bike innovations all over the world. (2014: 784)
