A Fresh New Look for Silverfish in Europe

The company says that for over 25 years, they have been a trusted name in its home markets of the UK and Ireland, successfully establishing premium cycling brands in these markets as well as Germany, Austria, and Benelux. Known for their strong corporate identity and deep love for mountain biking, Silverfish has become a staple in the UK’s MTB and Gravel scene.

Now, Silverfish is bringing the signature “The Fish” bike lifestyle to Europe with the launch of their new Silverfish Europe website in Q2/2025. The site will offer a comprehensive look at the brands and products for dealers and consumers, however, a b2c shop is currently not planned.

Sustainable Growth and Expansion Across Europe

With these changes, Silverfish is signalling its commitment to becoming a prominent player in the European market. The company is gearing up to grow its team and presence, with plans for future additions in the region. For now the focus is on strengthening the German-speaking team and building a community that shares the same passion for biking as Silverfish’s home markets of the UK and Ireland.
