BioRacer

Bio-Racer's modern, scientific approach leaves a deep impression behind in the conservative cycling world. For the first time, but certainly not for the last. After the bicycle the young company focuses itself on the cyclist's clothing, which until then offered little in the way of comfort. At first in collaboration with a Swiss textile manufacturer and later completely independent with its own range of clothes and silk-screen printing facility. The use of Lycra, the first seamless chamois, the innovative cut of a cycling jersey. These are just a few of the innovations for which the cycling world will be thankful to Bio-Racer for years to come. Classics, World Cup races, world titles and Olympic honours. The list of prize winners that has been accumulated in our equipment is incredibly impressive. The position of market leader in the Benelux in the area of qualitative club attire is perhaps an even better award.

Sportique

Our mission at SPORTIQUE is simple; to provide you with only the purest as possible products formulated with natural ingredients, free of petroleum or synthetic ingredients, which can be potential carcinogens or toxic to your body. We use botanicals and naturally moisturizing oils and nut butters, ingredients we would feel safe using on our babies or even eating. We don’t use any products from an animal source, in fact, we leave animals out of the process altogether as we refuse to test on them. Of course, our products are rigorously evaluated and have been awarded certificates of compliance with the strict European Union's hypoallergenic, microbiological and effectiveness laws and regulations. The remedies we rely on have been used for hundreds of years by our ancestors who turned to nature to ease, soften and soothe their skin. We continue to re-discover and implement the benefits of time forgotten, but proven formulations, incorporating herbs, botanicals, essential oils and minerals. SPORTIQUE does not pretend to impose any new miraculous cures or pretentious philosophy. We simply have a desire for a good, harmless and healthy lifestyle.

Paligap

Paligap was established in 2001 by David Lane and Andrew Butler, with a wealth of expertise behind them from a leading bicycle and parts distributor during the 80's and 90's. From the ground up David's multi faceted experience went from the stores to customer services and sales, culminating in Purchasing Management. Complimenting these skills Andrew worked across the sales board developing UK catchments before becoming a Sales Manager. From our Bristol base we distribute a portfolio of fifteen exclusive brands within the UK and whilst customer service and a highly professional attitude are both paramount it's not at the expense of a sense of humour. With 13 focused bike trade personnel each with impressive expertise in all aspects of the bicycle industry, Paligap is predominantly a sales and marketing led company with dedicated territory managers servicing over 700 dealers through which we sell our brands.

Autocom

In 1989 Autocom decided that the motorcycle communication system available on the market did not meet the requirements of the biking market. So they set out to design and manufacture a system and that's precisely what they did! The brainchild was the first high quality noise cancelling motorcycle intercom system. It worked so well that they soon realised that there must be many fellow motorcyclists who would benefit from his new system. Today, Autocom has evolved into world's premier motorcycle communication system manufacturer. In January 2010 Autocom joined the Tecstar Electronics Ltd Group.
