I think that when you looking at the touring segment, that’s where German brands are the big brands, but that’s not a segment which is big in the USA, so Americans don’t notice it. And the German brands which dominate that segment are not only bike manufacturers, but component manufacturers, like Tubus, Schwalbe, Pinion, Bosch and Ortlieb.
