Goes to show investing in the sport and sponsoring the right athletes can bring a return.
Thanks for the bike count. More ‘other’ than I expected.
That’s a shocker of a pie graph, can’t see half of the names
Read the article. There’s a list of names and percentages.
The point of the graph is to get a visual instead of reading through text and tables
They simply have to move the legends outside the pie. But it’s a silly, easy to fix blunder.
Love the pie chart, do you guys use Harvard Graphics?
23 Cadex bikes is wild. More than Pinarello, Dimond, Ventum, and other wayyyy more established brands.
Not to mention they didn’t even bother to sort the table. Would have been nice to go from highest to lowest.
EDIT:
Oh look I can sort the table within the article! I strike my previous comment.
I am guessing within 5 years Van Rysel tops it
I’ll take that bet. No chance.
They already release the uci version at 7500 (ultegra di2) that is “only” 1000 euro less than a speedmax clx.
Cube aerium / orbea ordu are already cheaper so not sure
Can Rysel have resources that make Canyon look like the paperclip budget. they’ve gone all in. They’re about to repeat Canyon but with the leverage a top 5 sports business in the world would commit
Poor adjustability. They’re going to need to improve the bike to keep gaining traction after the initial surge of people that get excited about a new, budget offering.
And the Ventum is going to be very price competitive
Yes, Giant is such an unestablished brand/manufacturer.
Who says they are making a return? Marketing is very expensive and they do the most of it.
Decathlon (van Rysel) may have have resources that could trounce Canyon by some margin, however, so did Wal-Mart, and well Viathon is a dead company. So um, van Rysel has a very high chance of being dead before it ever sells 1,000 tri bikes.
