Visiting Antwerp – Axel and Robyn on the road

Antwerp felt like a small journey through time. Beautiful historic buildings meet the modern present, and the city is a creative place, as if made for innovation.

That's exactly why we were there: at Classified, known for its Powershift hub for road bikes (classified-cycling.cc), we had the chance to test a new component that is still in development. On a test ride through the city we put it through its paces, and got to know Antwerp as a true cycling city along the way.

Our impression: the component surprised us, convinced us and is truly exciting. We can't reveal more just yet.

It's great to see innovation like this happening here in Europe, in this case "Engineered in Belgium". More of this, please!
