Despite the fame and prestige of Catlike, the founder confirms that the production has stopped and since 3 months the delivery of some models has been interrupted. This does not affect the warranty service and customer service that continues to function normally.

The manager of Catlike explains that the company is undergoing a restructuring to adapt to the new times. In this remodeling, the online sale will be the protagonist of its business model and does not rule out the synergy with other business players. For Catlike, the physical sale of its products will be reduced only to accessories of bicycle brands that are in stores, and will remain in a small number of points of sale committed to specialist brands.

With these statements, it is foreseen that in the future Catlike will begin to sell its products directly online and it implies that cycling stores will have a crucial role as a delivery point and with their workshop services.

We will be attentive to the future of this important brand that is already part of the history of cycling.
