BikeLIVE 2018, come and demo a Vitus or Canyon amongst others at our series of demo days

Our BikeLIVE demo events kick off in just a few months in Bath and London so we're starting to announce the brands and shiny bling that'll be available for you to test ride until your heart is content...

With our BikeLIVE events at Odd Down Circuit, Bath and Redbridge Cycling Centre, London just a few months away we’re really excited to announce that Vitus bikes will be bringing their 2018 range of bikes along for you to demo. We’ve got Canyon coming as well plus Maxxis Tyres, Haibike and Raleigh to name just a few.

Both Odd Down and Redbridge have purpose built cycle racing circuits giving you the chance to test all of the latest road and ebikes in a traffic free environment and at your own pace making for a very relaxing event.

Why not check out the video below to get a taste of BikeLIVE Bath.

Bath will also be hosting an ebike MTB loop at various times throughout the day and Redbridge, London will have waymarked MTB and Gravel routes too in collaboration with our two sister sites, off-road.cc and ebiketips.

At the BikeLIVE events earlier this year we had the likes of Whyte, Giant, Cube, Ribble and Wilier amongst others having around one hundred bikes between them for you to play about on and test until your heart's content, well between the hours of 9am to 5pm at least. It gives you a great chance to ride that dream bike, try out the latest electronic shifting or even disc brakes and who knows you might even end up scratching that n+1 itch with a new bike.

Vitus' bikes have always scored well in our road.cc tests offering a quality ride and great value for money. Bikes like their Zenium SL Disc and the knobbly tyred Energie Cyclo X have both scored four and a half stars overall recently and this could be your chance to give us your feedback.

The same with Canyon, in 2017 their stand was very busy with many people grasping the chance of being able to take one of the brand’s demo bikes for an extended test ride.

Tickets are priced at just £15 per person and on the day you'll find various food and drink vendors on hand to keep you fuelled up in the event village.

It’s not just Bath and London though, in total we’ve announced four initial events with more to follow.

There is a quick rundown of each event below but you can watch the videos, check out the full details and buy your tickets on the BikeLIVE website here. This is where you'll also find all of the latest events organised by road.cc, off-road.cc & ebiketips so add it to your favourites so you are first to see the updates.

As part of the tech team here at F-At Digital, senior product reviewer Stu spends the majority of his time writing in-depth reviews for road.cc, off-road.cc and ebiketips using the knowledge gained from testing over 1,500 pieces of kit (plus 100's of bikes) since starting out as a freelancer back in 2009. After first throwing his leg over a race bike back in 2000, Stu's ridden more than 170,000 miles on road, time-trial, track, and gravel bikes, and while he's put his racing days behind him, he still likes to smash the pedals rather than take things easy. With a background in design and engineering, he has an obsession with how things are developed and manufactured, has a borderline fetish for handbuilt metal frames and finds a rim braked road bike very aesthetically pleasing!
