After the testRIDE on Lenzerheide, the next Swiss test event is just around the corner: the Bike Test Gryon will take place from Friday, September 29 to Sunday, October 1. Over 300 bikes will be lined up to tease out their potential on the test tracks.

"It's always too good to test a bike"

Test the bikes for the 2018 season now - that's the motto of the bike test event, which takes place from Friday, September 29 to Sunday, October 1 in Gryon. The event thus follows the same movement as the testRIDE: Monday will be canceled and the test spectacle will start on Friday instead.

Substantial increase in exhibitors: 30 to 36 brands

At the ninth edition of the test event, visitors to the Place de Barboleuse, located between Gryon and Villars, can expect to see new bikes from Stoll Bikes, Rocky Mountain, Mondraker, Merida, Centurion, Focus, Kalkhoff, Tour de Suisse, Stevens, Yeti, Intense, Transition, Flyer, Scott, Bergamont, Felt, BMC, Bold, Santa Cruz, NS Bikes, Ibis, Norco, Trek, Giant, Cannondale, Specialized, Orbea, Kellys, Univega, Lapierre, Rotwild and GT. In terms of accessories, visitors can look forward to parts from Ion, Swiss Alps Wheel, Light&Motion, G-Form, Shimano, Fox, Uvex, Vaude and Ergocycle.

With the numerous exhibitors, Bike Test Gryon is enjoying sustained growth in popularity: from 2014 with 17 bike exhibitors, 2015 with 24 bike exhibitors, 2016 with 30 bike brands, the event is steadily growing on the supplier side for 2017 with 36 bike brands.

This is a must: Helmet and ID

Transportation on the Barboleuse-les Chaux lift is included in the entrance fee of twenty francs. Several routes are available for testing e-bikes in an authentic way. It is necessary to register for the test, which can be done on site or online. After registering, you will receive a wristband and you will need to bring an ID card to borrow a test bike.
