Taipei Cycle Show 2025: a global cycling hub

The Taipei Cycle Show 2025, organized by Taitra, will be held from March 26 to 29 at TaiNEX 1 and 2. With the theme 'Ride the revolution', this premier event aims to unite global innovations and promote sustainable practices within the bicycle industry. As the second-largest bicycle show worldwide, it plays a vital role in shaping the future of cycling.

The Taipei Cycle Show showcases Taiwan's robust position in the high-end bicycle market, where it holds a 20% share. The 2025 edition will spotlight four key themes: smart cycling, green forward, innovation drive, and cycling ecosystem. These themes reflect Taiwan’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, driving advancements in cycling technology and practices.

In 2025, Taipei Cycle will feature 943 exhibitors across 3,514 booths from 35 countries, including major brands like Giant, Merida, Shimano, Sram, and KMC.

Innovative pavilions

One of the standout features will be the expanded e-bikes & drive units and cargo bike & micro-mobility pavilion on the fourth floor of TaiNEX 2. With growing environmental awareness, electric bicycles and light electric vehicles are gaining traction globally. This pavilion will provide immersive displays of e-bikes, cargo bikes, e-scooters, and other innovations.

Additionally, the e-cycling and smart services pavilion will connect online cycling competitions with training platforms and riding software. This integration of technology will showcase virtual cycling platforms, smart trainers, sensors, and applications that enhance the overall cycling experience.

Sustainability initiatives

Taipei Cycle's 'green forward' initiative emphasizes environmental sustainability by supporting companies that adopt eco-friendly practices. Selected exhibitors will benefit from enhanced marketing resources, including podcast interviews and guided tours during the event. This initiative not only boosts visibility but also aligns participants with global sustainability trends.

Networking opportunities

The show serves as a meeting point for B2B leaders in the cycling industry. It fosters collaboration among manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers while promoting innovative solutions for sustainable growth. The blend of physical and virtual elements aims to create a comprehensive experience for all attendees.

Pre-registration

As Taipei Cycle prepares for its 2025 edition, it remains committed to being a platform for industry leaders to exchange ideas and explore new business opportunities. Pre-registration for visitors opens mid-November.

Three hotels in Taichung's business district open up their rooms and banquet halls for exhibitors who invite their customers to come over. For the rest it is wait and see. This means a solid foundation and future vision for TBW are lacking.
