The modern bicycle was invented in
the year 1817 in Germany. Since its conception, the bicycle has evolved
significantly with several innovative features and characteristics. Along with
bicycles, the associated sports also evolved. These new sports required
bicycles and other equipment with specific features and modalities. Sports
bicycles are designed to be fast and easy to maneuver on mountainous, rocky
land as well as on smooth surfaces like roads. These bicycles are equipped with
high-quality gear and brake systems to benefit riders increase their
performance and experience while riding. Tires wider than those used in road
bicycles are used in the case of mountain bikes. While the road bike is lighter
so that its weight does not hold the cyclist back during long, steep climbs.
The sports bicycle market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
The spread of COVID-19 has
severely affected the sports bicycle market across the globe. Several
governments across various countries around the world have imposed lockdown
orders as a control measure to stop the spread of coronavirus. The lockdown
orders prohibit most of the outdoor activities including exhibitions, and
sports events. Moreover, the shortage of components and bicycles is another major
challenge faced by the industry during the pandemic. Lockdown in countries
including China, Taiwan, India, and Japan has compelled the vendors to shut down
their production facilities. This, in turn, has decreased the production of
sports bicycles during the pandemic. Other countries dependent on the import
are facing a severe shortage of sports bicycles during the pandemic. The lower
production and shortage of sports bicycles in the market are estimated to hamper
the market growth in the short term.
