ACT makes COREbike debut as cycle industry comes together for 2026 show

Posted on 4 Mar 2026

The UK cycle industry were brought together at COREbike 2026, with retailers, distributors and industry partners gathering for several days of meetings, networking and product showcases.

The ACT exhibited at the event for the first time this year, held from 22–24 February at Whittlebury Hall near Towcester, and used the opportunity to engage directly with members, retailers and partners and from across the sector.

Positioned in the reception area, the ACT stand highlighted the latest developments in the E-Bike Positive Campaign as well as the organisation’s advocacy work and business support services for specialist cycle retailers, including Cytech training and new revenue-generating initiatives such as OWNit from Renticy.

Jonathan Harrison, Director of the ACT, said: “It was brilliant to see ACT members at the show. What a superb event that brought a lot of great elements of the cycling industry together and a fantastic debut show for the ACT.

“It was also an ideal opportunity to talk about the positive work being done through the E-Bike Positive campaign, alongside our wider advocacy work and the essential business services ACT provides to support specialist cycle retailers.”

Held annually as one of the industry’s key early-season trade events, the show brings together leading brands and specialist cycle retailers from across the UK, providing an important opportunity for businesses to connect, discuss trends and strengthen relationships ahead of the year’s trading period.

Event organisers Extra UK said on social media: “That's COREbike done and dusted for 2026! So great seeing so many of our fantastic customers and colleagues from across the industry all under one roof! We'd just like to extend a huge thank you from the team here at Extra.”
