Velofollies 2023 - Classified Returns Home
Playing 'at home’ is an extra special feeling, so we were even more excited than usual to be exhibiting at Vellofollies. Belgian cycling fans have a reputation for being the most passionate in the world, and if this past weekend’s Velofollies show was anything to go by then it’s well deserved.
The Classified booth was busy from opening to close with eager fans testing the Powershift Hub system and hanging out with our team. We were thrilled with the number of questions asked of us; our fans are clearly very knowledgeable and really want to learn more about the Classified products.
Testing is believing!
Thanks to our partners Ridley and Wahoo we were able to encourage fans to test ride the Classified system, and there was hardly a moment when the test bikes were not being used. Seeing the faces of test riders light up as they used the Powershift technology for the first time was a real pleasure for us.
Classified ambassadors Tom Boonen and Philippe Gilbert were also able to join us on Saturday, spending the afternoon chatting to fans, posing for photos and signing autographs. The guys stayed late into the afternoon to drink a Duvel with our fans and partners. Thanks team.
Not only did we have cycling legends joining us for the weekend, we also had Classified team mechanic Jasper de Bauw building some seriously eye-catching bikes live in our booth. Equipped with Classified Powershift technology, the Cinelli, Jaegher, and Ceepo builds are truly stunning and can be seen again in the gallery below.
Winner winner, chicken dinner!
Hundreds of you entered the competition to win a Classified Wheelset over the weekend. We are very pleased to announce that the proud new owner of a Classified system is Antoinette Frik!
