\"\"<\/p>\n

The 2025 industry bike count, presented by our friends at Quintana Roo, is now over. For the third year running, Canyon has taken the top spot in the counts, with a commanding 100+ bike margin over second-place Cervelo. Trek was not far behind in third, with nearly 350 bikes, with Specialized and Quintana Roo rounding out the top five.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the counts across all of the various categories. Many thanks to our team here on site who help make this count possible.<\/p>\n

Bikes: Canyon Leads the Way<\/p>\n

Note: we did not include in the counts any other brands appearing here, resulting in the total of 2,199 bikes.<\/p>\n

Aerobars: It\u2019s Profile Designs World<\/p>\n

Even as things like mono-bars and large \u201cintegrated\u201d fairing \/ not a fairing extensions become more prevalent, most athletes still trust Profile Designs for their front ends.<\/p>\n

Drivetrain: Shimano Rules the Day<\/p>\n

Shimano continues to dominate the drivetrain count, with nearly 70% of the field riding a Shimano system.<\/p>\n

Hydration Systems: Profile and XLab Lead<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more dependent on where you place a hydration system (or systems, if you ride with both the front and rear). Profile Design takes the lead position with front-mounted systems, whereas athletes trust X-Lab more frequently out back. There are slightly more total rear systems than there are front ones.<\/p>\n

Pedals: Shimano Still Leads, But Look and Assioma Aren\u2019t Far Behind<\/p>\n

This is one of the tightest categories for components, with the top three brands all spread by a count of 175 units.<\/p>\n

Saddles: It\u2019s Still ISM\u2019s World<\/p>\n

The split-nosed saddle trend still continues, with ISM driving the bus. Perhaps most surprising is second-placed Selle Italia, with 322 riders on board their saddles.<\/p>\n

Wheels: DT Swiss Takes Number One<\/p>\n

Perhaps in a shocker, DT Swiss took a resounding count victory here in Nice, with 105 more wheels than Zipp. Those two brands combined for over half of the total wheel sets that we counted here. <\/p>\n
