The Business
Victory Bicycle Studio is a specialty bicycle retailer based in Memphis, Tennessee, offering bikes, cycling apparel, components, and accessories from leading brands. Their extensive catalog includes road, mountain, gravel, commuter, and electric bikes, along with the parts and gear riders need to stay on the road or trail. With so many models, sizes, and component options available, the online shopping experience needed to make it easy for customers to compare products and find the right bike with confidence.
The Challenge
Lightspeed eCommerce had supported Victory Bicycle Studio for years, but it was no longer built for the demands of a modern bicycle retailer. As the product catalog grew more technical and diverse, the platform struggled to deliver the flexible shopping experience needed to help customers find the right bikes, parts, and accessories online.
Outdated Platform
The existing storefront lacked the flexibility and visual polish needed to reflect the quality of the products or support ongoing growth without significant redevelopment.Generic Product Browsing
Standard collection and filtering tools weren’t built for the way cyclists shop, making it harder for customers to narrow products by bike type, size, brand, and component specifications.Manual Store Management
Routine ecommerce tasks relied on manual processes that Shopify could automate, making day to day store management more time consuming than it needed to be.
Built to Go the Distance
Custom Product Pages & Variant Selection
Challenge
Lightspeed’s standard product pages couldn’t showcase the complexity of Victory Bicycle Studio’s bicycle catalog, where a single model is available in multiple sizes, colours, and component configurations.
Solution
port80 designed and built custom Shopify Plus product pages tailored to the way cyclists shop, making it easier to compare bike options, select the right size and variant, and access key product information in one place.
Benefit
Customers can confidently choose the right bike for their needs, while the Victory team benefits from a product experience that’s easier to maintain and built to scale as the catalog grows.
Results
Victory Bicycle Studio now has a product experience that better supports complex bike configurations, helping customers compare options more easily while giving the team a scalable foundation for managing an expanding catalog.

Smart Collection Filtering
Challenge
Victory Bicycle Studio’s growing bicycle catalog made it difficult for customers to quickly narrow products by bike type, size, brand, and other key attributes using the filtering available on the previous platform.
Solution
port80 configured Shopify Search & Discovery to deliver flexible collection filtering, helping shoppers refine products based on the attributes that matter most when choosing bikes, parts, and accessories.
Benefit
Customers can find the right products faster with a more intuitive browsing experience, making it easier to navigate a large catalog and discover the bikes and gear that fit their needs.
Results
The new filtering experience makes a large product catalog easier to navigate, helping customers reach the right products faster while improving product discovery across bikes, parts, and accessories.

Mega Menu & Navigation
Challenge
The existing navigation struggled to organize a growing catalog of bikes, parts, accessories, and services, making it harder for customers to quickly find the products they were looking for.
Solution
We restructured the collection hierarchy, redesigned the site navigation, and built a custom Shopify mega menu to create a clearer path through the catalog and highlight key product categories.
Benefit
Customers can browse the catalog more intuitively, discover products faster, and enjoy a navigation experience that can easily grow as new categories and brands are added.
Results
The redesigned navigation creates a clearer path through the catalog, making it easier for customers to explore products while giving Victory Bicycle Studio room to grow as new categories and brands are added.

Loyalty & Product Reviews
Challenge
The previous platform didn’t include built in tools for customer loyalty or product reviews, making it harder to encourage repeat purchases and showcase customer feedback.
Solution
We integrated Growave with the new Shopify store to introduce a loyalty program and product reviews, creating a more engaging shopping experience from the first purchase onward.
Benefit
Customers can earn rewards for shopping, while authentic product reviews help build trust, strengthen the brand, and encourage future purchases.
Results
Benefit
With loyalty rewards and customer reviews now built into the shopping experience, Victory Bicycle Studio has new tools to encourage repeat purchases, build trust, and strengthen long term customer relationships.



The Power of Collaboration
The best digital experiences are built through collaboration. Throughout the project, our team worked closely with Victory Bicycle Studio to refine every detail, combining their deep knowledge of cycling with our expertise in Shopify design and development. The result is a website that not only reflects their brand, but also serves the needs of riders at every stage of their journey.


The Finish Line
port80 rebuilt Victory Bicycle Studio’s ecommerce platform around the way the business actually sells bikes: custom variant handling, sizing guidance, and a faster path through a wide, technical catalog. The new Shopify Plus storefront gives the Victory team a foundation that’s easier to manage and easier for riders to shop, and it launched in June 2026.
