Thanks to its own development and also great skill of the local staff the company soon managed to produce bikes that met all the needs of a top racing bicycle. Demand for Favorit bicycles became huge, and bikes fame rose beyond the borders of then Czechoslovakia. During the two decades after the Velvet revolution the production and the brand struggled. In 2011 Slovak entrepreneur Richard Galovic took up the legend once longed for by every boy in Czechoslovakia and he returned it to the sun. The new Favorit bike is equipped with the latest technology, enhanced with original features, has surprisingly low weight and sports superior design. Favorit is no longer just a racing bike.
