Hayes Bicycle Group seeks new distribution partners in France
Hayes Bicycle Group is seeking new distribution partners and independent sales agencies for its brands in France.
The brands Hayes Bicycle Group is looking to distribute in France include Hayes, Manitou and Reynolds. The company stated that France represents an important market for the group, “with its deeply rooted cycling culture, extensive network of specialist retailers and passionate communities spanning road cycling, gravel, cross-country, enduro and downhill”.
It is therefore seeking established distribution partners and independent sales agencies with the commercial expertise, market knowledge and industry relationships needed to strengthen the brands’ visibility, availability and long-term development across the country.
The group’s eponymous brand, Hayes, is known for its Dominion braking platform, designed for applications ranging from everyday riding to demanding downhill racecourses.
Meanwhile, Reynolds offers a portfolio of premium road, gravel, XC, trail, enduro and downhill wheels. Its wheel range covers applications from road cycling, where aerodynamic efficiency is a key consideration, to World Cup mountain biking, where structural integrity, stiffness and compliance are important design factors. Its portfolio includes carbon and aluminium models developed to meet the differing performance and durability requirements of these disciplines.
Manitou’s suspension range spans several mountain biking disciplines, from the Dorado inverted downhill fork to the adjustable Mezzer enduro platform and lightweight R8 cross-country (XC) series. Drawing on decades of suspension development, its products focus on traction, control and handling, with designs tested in international competition.
Hayes Bicycle Group added that interested parties are invited to contact Colin Williams ([email protected]), who is responsible for European sales and distribution.
