In the wake of a rise in consumer sporting goods demand in the post-pandemic era, these Taiwanese outdoor sporting goods manufacturers and brands are committed to producing sustainable and eco-friendly products. At the Outdoor Retailer Summer Tradeshow, these brands hope to secure closer collaborations with potential partners from around the world.

Taiwan is known worldwide as the “Bicycle Kingdom” and the brands here are strongly influenced by the market and focus on innovating and investing to maintain their top spot in the industry.

  • KMC, the market’s leading chain manufacturer, focuses on its e-Bike solution. It utilizes the “Shield Tech” enhanced pin power to 450kgf and the unique chainring tooth profile design is a perfect match to the roller resulting in it becoming sturdy and highly efficient with an improved life span for long distance riding.
  • KENDA, a global leader in the tire market, is presenting its AGC Series Tire- K1241 Pinner, a brand-new dry condition gravity tire. Exclusively developed in close partnership with Aaron Gwin, the Pinner was designed for World Cup tracks like Leogang and Lenzerheide to stand firm against its toughest competitors. With remarkable cornering predictability, extremely high-puncture protection and AGC or ATC casing, the Pinner is an excellent choice for gravity racers and trail riders alike.
  • AROFLY, a global 40-year sporting goods veteran, is showcasing its LINK A1 Cycling Power Meter. It is compatible with all GPS bike computers and transmits data straight to the Cloud. In addition to being technologically advanced, the power meter is affordable and easy to install.
  • Makalot, the leading garment manufacturer, is introducing its Smart cycling jerseys equipped with three innovative features. The integrated ECG heartrate function eliminates the need to wear a smart watch or chest straps and its electrical stimulation modules on the back reduce long-term tension in the lower back muscles. Its temperature control feature makes for a comfortable riding experience when combined with a smart wearable at the back neck of the jersey.

These Taiwanese brands are committed to improving life quality and experiences and are anticipating to partner with international buyers to bring their innovations to global markets. In addition to the cycling products, TAITRA brands are showing a variety of travel related products.
