The newcomer brands are arriving at speed, but they didn’t come from nowhere.<\/p>\n

Winspace, Quick Pro, X-Lab and Amflow are names that were barely on the radar of many Western cyclists a couple of years ago. Now we see them in the WorldTour, on the front pages of major cycling publications, and increasingly on shop floors outside Asia. <\/p>\n

It seems they’re about to truly disrupt the whole industry, and given the speed at which they’re coming in, that’s not wholly untrue. While doing interviews for this industry series<\/a>, barely a single conversation happened without at least one mention about these brands \u2013 but many sources also told Escape Collective this development is no surprise.<\/p>\n
