"Our ambition is to become an increasingly important European point of reference, while preserving its original identity." Fabrizio Ravasio, managing director of Movestro and a founder of the International Bike Festival, told Bike Europe during this year's event. As a market with deep roots in road racing, high-performance cycling and Italian craftsmanship, but one that has yet to embrace e-mobility to the same extent as its northern neighbours, the IBF demonstrated that Italy is not simply relying on its cycling heritage but is striving for growth.

Campagnolo can enter the next phase of reorganisation after receiving a minority stake from the Swiss investment company SPAC SA. The Campagnolo family will retain control and majority ownership. This follows the execution of an investment agreement with Campagnolo's existing quotaholders.

As FSA Europe celebrates its 25th anniversary, the company reflects on a quarter-century of innovation and partnership within the cycling industry.

Italy's Fantic Group has outlined a new international strategy for its Cycling Business Unit, centred on strengthening the distinct positioning of its Fantic and Bottecchia brands while integrating operations to improve efficiency and improve product development. The strategy also aims to accelerate growth across key international markets.

Eurobike 2026 will provide the stage for a new partnership in the European e-bike industry. German bicycle manufacturer Raymon Bicycles and Italian drive system specialist OLI eBike Systems introduce a new generation of e-bikes powered by OLI's PICO mid-drive motor.

Modern e-bikes are evolving faster than ever. As new motor systems deliver higher torque and performance, bike brands (OEMs) and dealers need components engineered for higher loads, reliable integration, and clear product differentiation. The FSA e-bike kit addresses these needs with a dedicated package of crankarms, chainrings, and wheels developed for the latest generation of electric mountain bike platforms.
