Spyker Aeroblade

Spyker Aeorblade, The sporty yet comfortable Aeroblade bike is hand-built using unique and innovative materials. Features are: a titanium frame, an aluminum front fork, wheel set and mudguards from aluminum covered carbon composite, Hulshof luxury leather handle bar grips and saddle and a special version of the Rohloff 14 speed hub gear transmission.

 

 

 

Optional elements are, for instance, a choice of wheels (special Aeroblade wheels or standard), pedals and leather colours. The bike weighs a mere 12,8 kg. The construction and geometry of the frame and the effectiveness of the drive train leave the performance of the bike unrestricted. Each bike is specifically built for its new owner and individually numbered. The number will be engraved on a special plate attached to the frame.

The design of the bike is clearly recognizable as a Spyker. The Spyker logo is imprinted on the chain cover, the saddle and the saddle bag. The design of the mudguards has been based on the form of airplane wheel fairings as well as the swirled aluminum dashboard of the current Spyker. The colours of Spyker's endurance race car, the Spyker C8 Spyder GT2R, are reflected in the bike's colour combination. The frame is titanium silver, the tyres are orange. The spokes of the Koga Aeroblade wheels are reminiscent of Spyker's own Aeroblade™ wheels. 

 

The suggested retail price for the bicycle, including the optional Aeroblade wheels, is 10.500 euro ex. VAT ( 12,540 USD). The Aeroblade bicycle can be ordered through the Koga specialist distribution channel, the worldwide Spyker dealer network or directly from Koga and Spyker Cars in The Netherlands. Deliveries of the bike are expected to commence by May 2006. Order intake for this exclusive limited production will start as of January 2006.

Montante Maserati 8CTF

Gear up with a limited-edition Italian bicycle modeled after a Maserati winner

In celebration of their famous 1940 win at the Indianapolis 500 known as the "Boyle Special," Maserati teamed up with cult Italian bike builder Cicli Montante to create a limited-edition bicycle resembling the victorious fixed head, eight-cylinder 8CTF race car. With driver Wilbur Shaw behind the wheel for the second year in a row, Maserati historically took first place proving the prowess of European design.

Debuting at the recent Paris Auto Show, Cycle EXIF points out that while successful bike/car collaborations are rare, the Montante Maserati 8CTF is a clear exception.

In addition to the beautiful coloring and detailing, Cycle EXIF asks "Who else is sticking a front disc brake on a fixed geared bike? It might not necessarily be the smartest thing to do, but at least they're putting it out there."

A limited run of 200 bikes were created (in commemoration of the 200 laps completed during the race), each individually numbered and selling online from Cicli Montante for €3,000.
