A Look into ORA’s Taipei Cycle Show 2025
Taipei Cycle Show 2025 marked a significant return for Asia's premier cycling expo, drawing international crowds eager to explore the latest industry innovations and reconnect face-to-face. Against this vibrant backdrop, the ORA Engineering booth was buzzing with energy:
- Packed Schedules: Our meeting calendar filled up even before the show opened, and the momentum kept rolling. Our booth stayed consistently busy with partners, both current and potential, eager to talk about projects.
- Targeted Discussions: About 80% of our meetings dove straight into specifics – planning new product lines, gearing up for mass production, and fine-tuning sample details. It was great to see so much forward planning!
- High Engagement: The enthusiasm from visitors was fantastic. The constant flow of people and in-depth chats meant our sales and development folks were often deep in conversation well past lunchtime!
- New Product Showcase: Alongside our signature frames, we were excited to unveil some new additions: meticulously crafted titanium cranks, hand tools, and sleek titanium bottle cages. The interest they generated was really encouraging.
To make technical discussions easier and more tangible, we put a lot of effort into our Demo Kits this year. They're designed to give partners a hands-on feel for what's possible:
-
Insightful Demo Kits: These kits break down the essentials, covering:
- Material & Metallurgical Analysis
- Weld Quality Analysis
- Logo Application Techniques (Sandblasting, Brushing, Laser Etching)
- Anodized Color Options, featuring our comprehensive Titanium Color Guide with ORA-exclusive palettes.
- Hands-On Understanding: These kits really helped streamline conversations around the most common questions, letting partners see and feel the quality and customization ORA Engineering brings to the table.
Brand Collaborations Shine: Building on Shared Values
Collaboration is truly at the heart of ORA Engineering. We thrive on partnering with brands and designers who share our passion for quality, innovation, and pushing the boundaries of cycling. Taipei Cycle 2025 was a perfect stage to celebrate these relationships, especially with partners who share our core values. We love seeing what comes from these partnerships and are excited to share the results!
- SLUG Partnership: It was awesome featuring a gorgeous SLUG bike right in our booth – a testament to our close teamwork. Before the show, the SLUG crew visited us to capture our production process, highlighting the craft behind their titanium gravel bikes. Seeing their vision come to life, built with ORA quality, is exactly the kind of collaboration we cherish. Follow SLUG on Instagram to support.
- Daniel Yang (Neuhaus Metalworks) Visit & Storytelling: We also had the pleasure of hosting Daniel Yang from Neuhaus Metalworks. Daniel is known for his insightful look into the craft of framebuilding, and he produced a fantastic video diving deep into the spirit and skill behind ORA's titanium production. His goal of connecting riders more closely with the manufacturing process really resonated, and the response has been incredible. We're thrilled to work with creators like Daniel who help tell the story behind the bikes we help build.
