Gravel Ground 2026: Everything a gravel enthusiast could wish for

- ZIV and Koelnmesse are launching a B2B-only cycling trade fair in Cologne in 2027 as an alternative to the struggling Eurobike in Frankfurt.  
- Behind the Cologne project lie power struggles over interpretative authority, revenue and influence between ZIV, Koelnmesse and purchasing associations such as ZEG, BICO and VSF.  
- According to the article, both trade fair models fail to meet customer needs, whilst Cyclingworld Düsseldorf successfully brings together trade visitors and end consumers.

Power struggle in the cycling industry: Is Kölnmesse on the wrong track?

- Eurobike has been losing its significance since the mid-2010s: rising costs, reduced added value, manufacturers are focusing on their own events.
- A decline from 1,400 to 800 exhibitors and from 40,000 to 15,000 trade visitors; ZIV and Zukunft Fahrrad are launching their own trade fair in 2027.
- Chinese suppliers dominate the current Eurobike, whilst major European players are absent; the industry feels there is a lack of a unifying concept for a leading trade fair.

- ZIV is planning a new international bicycle trade fair from autumn 2027 in Germany as the future leading trade fair for the industry.
- The background to this is declining exhibitor numbers, conflicts over the reorganisation of Eurobike and the withdrawal of the ZIV and Zukunft Fahrrad associations.
- Shimano will be leaving Eurobike from 2026 and is likely to be an important exhibitor at the new ZIV trade fair.
