Rossignol changes gear with first bike collection
French brand Rossignol, more typically associated with ski clothing and equipment, will launch its first range of mountain bikes in Spring 2018. 

In February, Rossignol announced the purchase of US bike maker Felt Bicycles, adding this to its acquisition of French manufacturer Time Sport in 2015. 

Rossignol and Felt have been working together to develop the line, which will include 11 mountain bike models in a range of categories for both adults and juniors. They will be distributed through Rossignol’s ski retail and ski rental retailers in North America. 

Francois Goulet, the president of Rossignol Group North America, said the expansion into the bicycle market shows the brand is “active in the outdoors well beyond the winter months”.
