Premium bike and component brand, Velocite, will be launching its brand new alloy mountain bike range at the Cycle Show taking place at the NEC from September 27th-30th.

Having already received huge media acclaim for its carbon fibre Flux 26er and with Maxine Filby piloting it to great success in the National XC Series this year, the stage is now set for the alloy equivalent and an all new 29er to join the Velocite stable. 

Billed very much as fast XC trail bikes, stand D42 at the Cycle Show will be your first chance to see them and meet the design team behind them.

The alloy frames for both 26 and 29ers have been designed to ensure class-leading performance and are both available in a frame only or complete build options.

The 26er frameset has an RRP of £419 whilst the complete builds start at £1590 RRP.  The 29er frameset is £429 RRP with complete builds starting at £1690 RRP. 

Spec choices for complete bikes include the finest from SRAM and Shimano as well as Maxxis tyres, Magura forks and brakes, Fulcrum wheels and a mixture of Velocite and Truvativ finishing kit with full specs available from the Velocite stand or via the website after the show.

For those who would perhaps like to give the carbon Flux 26er a try, there will be a SRAM XX equipped model on the show's MTB test track so make sure you come prepared and make the most of your chance to ride a World Cup racer around the NEC course.

Velocite's CEO, Victor Major, will also be running seminars as part of the show's seminar programme discussing the advances in carbon fibre technology for bike manufacture amongst other things.

As Velocite UK's Mark Almond explains, the Cycle Show is going to be the perfect opportunity for a first view of what is set to be a must ride range of bikes for 2013. 

"We're really excited about the new launches" he says

"The Velocite MTB range now offers high performance hardtail fans a choice of frame material and wheel sizes. The performance from each bike is simply breathtaking and with a 650b frame also being launched for 2013, I honestly believe the Velocite range is now one of the best in the business"

"The carbon Flux set the performance level very high indeed and these alloy models look set to raise the standard for such bikes equally as high"
