7 cool things at this year's Cycle Show

Bike shows bring a huge variety of brands out of the woodwork. While you’re guaranteed to have some cool stuff on show from the big players, shows often feature dozens of niche brands which also have something interesting to show.

The Cycle Show in Birmingham is no exception on both counts, and we visited to bring you the coolest stuff we could find.

1. Varuu titanium bike range

We were keen to have a nosey at the Varuu stand, as the British titanium specialist always has something interesting on show.

Of particular note was the prototype, titanium rigid mountain bike fork which was seen on the front of a V:29 hardtail.

This fork is unlike anything we’ve seen before, using a three-part construction that welds the cast crown to the fork legs with the seams, and is then ground back to create a seamless transition between the different parts.

The ride quality is said to be superb, and though the fork is unlikely to see production, James Beresford – owner of Varuu Cycles – did hint that the research done here could find its way onto a road bike in the future.

2. Wilier Superleggera road bike

3. Jura Cycle Clothing

3. J. Laverack Ti Super Commuter with Shimano's Metrea H-Bar

4. Canyon Commuter 5.0

5. Campagnolo hydraulic groupset

6. Brooks helmets

7. And finally...

We also saw this: an electric, bamboo fat bike. Sure, why not?
