French ski maker Rossignol is increasing its cycling portfolio. Last year it acquired Time Sport, well known for its pedals and bike frame technology and it’s now added US brand Felt Bikes, headquartered in Irvine, California and with a European headquarters in Edewecht, Germany.

Felt’s sales are worth over $60m globally and its F1x was ridden to victory by Wout van Aert in the Cyclocross World Championships last week. It was also responsible for the $26,000 left side drivetrain track bikes used by the US team at the Rio Olympics.

He’s been cycling for a lot longer than that though and his travels by bike have taken him all around Europe and to California. He’s been riding gravel since before gravel bikes existed too, riding a cyclocross bike through the Chilterns and along the South Downs.
