Eurobike 2016 Coverage: Bicycle Touring, Bikepacking and Adventure Gallery

September 5, 2016

1 minute read

It’s that time of the year again when Eurobike (the biggest bike tradeshow in the world) is over and we get to take a closer look at the bike touring, bikepacking and adventure gear and innovation from the show.

Bikepacking bags have continued to become more prevalent at the show this year, as have off-road adventure bikes and Pinion gearbox touring bikes. There’s a carbon fibre touring bike here in the mix, and you should take a closer look at the new Surly alt handlebars.

Here’s the CyclingAbout roundup gallery of all the touring, trekking, adventure and bikepacking gear from the show. I will update this resource as more photos become available. 🙂

A special thanks to Franz from Velologie for running around and taking all of these great photos.
