Here at Lyon we specialise in the distribution of brands we feel align with our core values and help in our motto of 'Venture Further'. We were delighted to start bringing Bombtrack Bicycle Co. into the UK with a range which complements our other bikepacking and cycle brands, great to see them getting broader recognition in the UK cycle industry...
'The guys from Lyon are very, very like-minded people. After they first got in touch we flew over to discuss business things. A visit to the Lake District the 2nd day blew us away the same amount as their company and its people did on the first. Their managing director spent the whole day and evening with us - which really fascinated us as he has actually more than 80 employees to direct. One of the aspects that clearly showed is them having the right “soul”.' BikeBiz

Following on from our award winning products from OutDoor here are our Brand Managers top picks for packs and camping:
From Gsi Outdoors is the new Escape Pot, the collapsible design shrinks to 1.9" for effortless packability, the non stick Teflon coating works with the heat sink base to heat meals 30% faster.
From Exped the Women's Comfort Sleeping Bag has a short “side arm exit” zip which allows the user to have both arms out to drink a brew whilst staying cosy in the bag. ...Extra insulation in the footbox, plus a short independent zip so feet can be kept cool, undoing the main and foot zip opens the bag out to be a blanket. The bag’s cut is mummy shaped for comfort.
