Located at Booth 4113, DARE Bikes will showcase its full 2026 collection, headlined by the highly anticipated physical debut of the VA-AFO Triathlon-Specific Upgrade Kit.

Unique Engineering Meets Racing Soul

DARE Bikes has always been driven by a singular mission: to provide cyclists with the "Real Ride" experience. At Velofollies 2026, the brand will spotlight its flagship “AFO” series, demonstrating the pinnacle of carbon fiber craftsmanship and aerodynamic innovation.

Four Standout Highlights at Booth 4113

・ World Debut: VA-AFO Tri Set transforms the VA-AFO into a triathlon powerhouse. This upgrade maximizes the VA-AFO’s aerodynamic advantages for multisport athletes, offering unparalleled flexibility between road and tri-performance.

・ The Ultimate All-Rounder: PA-AFO S8 / R8 is the flagship choice for those who refuse to compromise. Integrating aerodynamics, lightweight, stiffness, and comfort, the PA-AFO is the ultimate weapon for conquering diverse terrains and elite races.

・ The Aero Master: VA-AFO S8 is designed for pure velocity. With its striking aggressive profile and precision CFD and wind tunnel optimization, the VA-AFO is engineered to save every watt against the wind.

・ One Bike, Infinite Adventures: GA S8 responding to the global gravel movement features a versatile geometry and rugged configuration, perfect for both epic explorations and long-distance endurance racing.

The event will also feature a special appearance by the Minimax Cycling Team, DARE Bikes’ partnered professional women’s team. Based in Wallonia, Belgium, the team is a premier cradle for female talent. In 2026, the team officially steps up as a UCI Women's Continental Team, prepared to take on legendary European Classics such as GP Samyn, Nokere Koers, and Scheldeprijs.

This partnership is a cornerstone of DARE’s commitment to evolving high-performance products for women. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to meet the elite riders on the 16th afternoon and see the synergy between professional athletes and world-class equipment.
