The 2011 Expo was a great success from the viewpoint of both visitors and exhibitors. We have uploaded a selection of photos for those who missed the show this year and hope that what you see inspires you to attend next year as an exhibitor or visit on either the trade or public days.

There were some amazing display and while we thank all exhibitors for their attendance we would like to give special mentions to KTM, SRAM, Ghost and Madd Gear for doing some wonderful work with their custom stands.

Ausbike was born out of necessity; before the Melbourne Ausbike Bike Show 2009, Australia had no national cycling trade expo. The show was such a success that Ausbike will be hosting two shows in 2010. The first being held in Melbourne on 21st to 23rd August and the second being held in Brisbane from 8th to 10th October.
