CYKLOŠVEC

What CYKLOŠVEC does

CYKLOŠVEC s.r.o. is a privately held Czech bicycle retailer and wholesale distributor founded in 1991 by brothers Karel Švec and Libor Švec in Vlašim, later expanding to Písek. The company operates a hybrid B2C/B2B model comprising four retail stores (two in Písek, one in Vlašim, one in České Budějovice), an e-commerce platform at cyklosvec.cz with multi-currency support and pick-up points in Prague, Brno, Olomouc, and Havířov, and a wholesale division serving registered Czech bicycle dealers. Its product mix spans entry-level bicycle components (~390 CZK) to premium e-bikes (over 100,000 CZK) across its own Galaxy private-label brand and an authorised distribution portfolio that includes Stevens, Totem, Orbea, Crussis, Fox Shox, Marzocchi, KMC, Kenda, Catlike, Deda Elementi, Novatec, Shimano, Sigma Sport, Tannus, and others.

The firm monetises through hardware sales of complete bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, components, accessories, and apparel (revenue model type: hardware_sales), complemented by professional services revenue from authorised suspension servicing for Fox Shox and Marzocchi and Shimano service, ski servicing, and Sidas Feet Revelator IQ foot analysis. It also runs a small rental business for electric retroskútry at the Písek store. Distribution is reinforced by community-building activities including two company cycling teams (Galaxy CykloŠvec Fox, Galaxy CykloŠvec Písek), co-organisation of the Galaxy Stevens série road race series and the Jihočeský MTB pohár mountain bike cup, and sponsorship of professional teams competing at events from Czech cyclocross through to the Tour de France. Pricing is product-specific and promotional, with B2B dealer-tier pricing handled through a separate login.

Customer segments are split between individual consumers (recreational and competitive cyclists) and business-to-business bicycle retailers, served through a hybrid segmentation approach. The company is the only official Shimano Service Center in South Bohemia and one of two authorised service centres for Fox Shox and Marzocchi suspension in the Czech Republic. There are no subsidiaries, no external funding rounds, no patents or trademarks disclosed, and no public revenue figure; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
