Distributor Traffic GmbH has confirmed it will bring a fresh line-up of bikes to CIN LIVE 2026, headlined by Bombtrack’s new Tempest AL, a lightweight aluminium all-road machine aimed at riders who split their time between tarmac and rougher tracks.
Details remain scarce ahead of the trade show, but the Tempest AL joins several other models from brands under the Traffic GmbH umbrella that will be on display for retailers and industry visitors to inspect first-hand. CIN LIVE has become a key fixture on the UK cycling trade calendar, giving buyers an early look at next season’s stock before it reaches shop floors.
Bombtrack has built a loyal following among gravel and adventure riders for its no-nonsense steel and aluminium frames, and the Tempest AL appears set to slot into that all-road niche – bikes built for mixed-surface riding without the price tag or complexity of a full carbon race machine. For everyday riders, an aluminium frame in this category often means a more affordable, durable option that can handle commuting, bikepacking and the odd unpaved detour with equal ease.
While CIN LIVE is primarily a trade-facing event, what gets unveiled there tends to filter through to consumer ranges within months, so it’s worth keeping an eye on how the Tempest AL is specced and priced once full details emerge. Given the continued growth in demand for versatile, do-it-all bikes among UK riders looking to escape busy roads without investing in a dedicated gravel race bike, this could be a significant addition to Bombtrack’s catalogue for 2026.
On Track will bring readers a full breakdown of the Tempest AL’s geometry, spec and pricing as soon as Traffic GmbH releases further information.
