As you all know, the most renowned bi-cycle manufacturer Meghna Group has a long tradition of producing good & quality bikes. Meghna group, is the topper when there is a question of exporting bicycles to other countries like United Kingdom. Since January 2014, Meghna group has decided to launch a new set of QUALITY BIKES other than their PRINCE series which is taking mass market share on lower end of the bicycle market.
Meghna Group has made Cyclelife Exclusive, one of the most famous & popular bicycle shop in Dhaka, a sister concern of Meghna Group. What does that mean to you? Cyclelife Exclusive operates separately from Meghna. What’s the advantage? They can work on better quality bikes. Cyclelife Exclusive’s “Veloce” is the new series of quality bikes which are made in Bangladesh to target the middle class people. I’ll write mostly about Cyclelife Exclusive’s Veloce Legion Cycle Price & Specs today.
Cyclelife Exclusive operates separately from Meghna as it is a sister concern of Meghna Group. They are working on better quality bikes at low price targeting middle class Bangladeshi people.
Veloce Legion Series
Veloce is the new brand of Cyclelife Exclusive. They have used good quality materials from top to bottom. Those who are thinking what’ll be the quality because Meghna’s Prince series doesn’t live up to the mark. For those, Cyclelife Exclusive assured that there is no need to worry because Veloce is designed to export to other European countries and carefully assembled to pass BS EN 14766 (which is the standard of British Mountain Bike).
Cyclelife Exclusive has used well quality materials from top to bottom in Veloce series.
How Veloce Frame Was Born
It was back in 6 November, 2012, the frame what they are using on Veloce Legion series was born. It is the most tested frame from CLE and many riders of BD Cyclists had it driven for test ride. This Veloce frame has passed 1 million vibrations in the factory. Moreover, the designer of the frame personally rode over 13 thousand kilometers including off road and normal roads in Bangladesh. Furthermore, this unit was tested in snow and minus temperature of UK. This frame allows you get more power in rear wheel, and more head room allows you to check your terrain.

Side by Side Comparison
Round Up
It’s quite assumable that with the increasing amount of bicycles in Bangladesh, the companies will come with better bikes at a lower price to attract the masses. Bicycle business is considered one of the most profitable business too.
As a Bangladeshi, I welcome this brave action by Cyclelife Exclusive, to produce bicycles in Bangladesh. Oh GOD, did I mention that Veloce is designed, assembled and manufactured in Bangladesh? That is the best part of Veloce. :)
Designed and Manufactured in Bangladesh.
