Last week was packed with events like Toyo Rock and the Deeper’s Wear Life Spec Meeting, and the events continue this week as well. This weekend, we will be hosting a booth at HANGOUT, which will be held at the Aichi Prefectural Forest in Shinshiro City.
HANGOUT is the first event of its kind in the Tokai region, an experiential exhibition gathering leading domestic and international brands in fields such as trail running and backpacking. On Sunday, the Damonde Trail, a trail running event, will also take place at the same venue, making for two days of fun that cross the boundaries of various genres. At Circles, we’ll be sharing the joy of expanding your outdoor life by adding a bicycle to the mix.
We will have demo bikes available at the venue, and we hope you will take the opportunity to compare bicycles from various genres.
・How does a bike actually behave when you ride it on a gravel road?
・How do disc brakes feel?
・How does tire width change the ride quality?
We want you to feel these points for yourself by actually riding various demo bikes.
This time, thanks to the cooperation of Aki Corporation and Motocross International, we have prepared the following demo bikes for you.
Kona / Unit
Kona / Sutra LTD
Surly / Straggler
Surly / Disc Trucker
Salsa / Fargo
All-City / Log Lady
For those who are interested in bicycles but haven't ridden much, or those interested in bike packing and touring, we will be hosting short ride tours within the venue using the demo bikes listed above. In addition, I will also have my own bikes on hand—the ones I rode in the OMM BIKE and the ones I use for touring.
Whether it’s riding to the mountains, parking your bike once you arrive, changing into your shoes and heading out on the trails, or enjoying activities like trail running, hiking, camping, or fishing, having a bike will open up even more ways to enjoy your outdoor adventures.

And don't worry if you get a little hungry while riding. We will also have snacks from Pine Fields Market at our booth, so please be sure to give them a try.
There will be a diverse lineup of exhibitors over the two days, including Inocchi from Welldone, Motonobu-san's EDIT, ADAPT by Kyohei-kun (who I competed with in the OMM BIKE), and RawLow Mountain Works.
Look for the red tent in the athletic field before you reach the main Great Lawn area.
We are looking forward to seeing you all on what promises to be a beautiful weekend!
