XLC - a logo that stands out.

On your way to work you look at the parked bikes in the city and in the evening, you chat with your friends about parts and accessories for your bikes. The no-frills three-letter logo always catches your eye. Your colleague's new business backpack, with which he has recently been riding his bike through the streets towards work, is also from XLC.

But what's behind it?

The XLC journey began in 2003 with the idea of the ACCELL GROUP N.V. to market its own brand of bicycle components: XLC, eXcellent bike components.

Initially, XLC was used as basic equipment for bicycles of well-known ACCELL brands. The main products are handlebars, stems and seat posts. From 2005 onwards, the XLC brand was initially distributed to specialist bicycle dealers in Germany and Austria via the Winora Group - a subsidiary of the ACCELL GROUP. However, other European countries such as France, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy were quickly added to the distribution area. Today, XLC is an internationally active brand and is available in more than 40 countries through selected specialist bicycle retailers. The XLC brand portfolio includes bike parts, accessories and clothing - adapted to the needs of bike enthusiasts worldwide.
