ZyroFisher adds GRiTT by Leatt bike care line to its distribution portfolio.
ZyroFisher has taken on distribution of GRiTT by Leatt, a newly introduced range of bike cleaning, maintenance and protection products. The range is described as high-performance, targeting dealers and consumers seeking specialised care solutions for bicycles.
The addition of GRiTT expands ZyroFisher's portfolio, which already includes various cycling components and accessories. For European dealers, this means a new source for bike care products from a brand known in protective gear, though the specific product details and pricing have not been disclosed.
Distribution agreements like this often affect availability and lead times for retailers. Dealers should monitor ZyroFisher's trade channels for GRiTT product listings, as initial stock levels and delivery schedules will determine how quickly the range can reach shop shelves.
The bike care segment is competitive, with established brands already present. ZyroFisher's move suggests a strategic push to capture more of the maintenance market, which could offer dealers additional margin opportunities if the range is priced competitively.
