Sea Otter Europe draws nearly 60’000 for 6th edition

The most popular Sea Otter Europe ever, with a record attendance for public and exhibitors, cements its reputation as the meeting point between the Cycling Industry and cycling enthusiasts.

Nearly 60,000 visitors filled the festival site for 3 intense days of racing, product presentations, and demo-bike testing. If you want to ride a demo bike there’s surely no better place, be that for MTB, Road, or Gravel bikes. This year also so a growth in ‘cycling as transport’ products on display, and available to test ride.

The expansion of the expo area has made it possible to comfortably cope with the 30% growth of exhibitor brands, with a total of 350 international companies that have displayed their products at more than 220 stands of bicycles, electric bikes, accessories and technology applied to cycling.

The response to the competitive calendar was also a strong one, with more than 4,000 cyclists taking part in the fifteen races that were organised, for amateurs and for world champions, Olympic medallists and elite athletes, both male and female, in all kinds of cycling.

Once again, the demo-bike opportunity proved to be one of the most attractive elements of Sea Otter Europe. 30 participating brands had all the models on offer, with more than 3,000 trips to the demo-bike circuits designed specifically for this purpose. New urban routes created this year also made it possible to experience a variety of family and urban bikes, ridden around the festival, and in the streets of the centre of Girona.

With the conclusion of the most popular edition of this cycling festival to date, the team at Sea Otter Europe has already begun work on the next one, to be held again in Girona and the Costa Brava from 22 to 24 September 2023.
