For those not in the know, Eurobike is an annual event held in Friedrichshafen, Germany. For one working week of every year, a vast expanse of halls are filled with stands from the world’s largest bike manufacturers with new products proudly on display.
The show doesn’t officially open until tomorrow but BikeRadar was quick to gain access in order to bring you a quick pre-show preview.

Video: Oli Woodman and Matthew Allen discuss their highlights from the Eurobike Demo Day
Former BikeRadar staffer Oli is passionate about anything with wheels and/or an engine or motor. A keen eye for technical detail and a general curiosity for how things work often gives Oli a unique insight into products he's either testing or writing about. An unhealthy interest in older motor vehicles keeps him poor but happy.
