Bugatti introduces the world’s lightest urban bicycle that’s
almost entirely made of carbon fiber
...And
It Costs Euro 36.800 ($40K)
After collaborating with yacht manufacturers Palmer Johnson
to craft the Chiron inspired limited edition Bugatti Niniette 66, Bugatti has
now teamed up with German luxury bicycle manufacturer PG to introduce a bicycle
that shares its design language with the marquee’s newest hypercar. With every
new product, the French carmaker aims to shatter old records. While the Bugatti
Chiron is almost ready to grab the crown for being the world’s fastest
production car, the ‘PG Bugatti Bike’ has bagged the title of the lightest
special urban bike in the world by weighing in less than 4,98kg (11lbs).
The PG Bugatti Bike is crafted primarily of carbon fiber and
boasts aero-optimized cross sections along with its German-made “carbon
components are handcrafted using prepreg materials and methods otherwise found
only in motor sport and the aeronautic industries in order to guarantee the
lightest weight and highest rigidity possible.” The bike is made of 95 percent
carbon fiber, with the frame, fork, rims, handlebars, seat, crank and brake all
made by Italian carbon experts Merelli. The uber-luxe bicycle will have a
limited production of only 667 pieces, and upon request, existing Bugatti
owners will be able to have their bicycles hand-customized in the PG Bugatti
showroom in Weinstadt to match their cars. There is no word on the pricing of
the bicycle.
