The road,
re-engineered

Engineering

Everything is in the frame.

No bulge, no bolt-on battery. The motor, the cells and the light line all live inside a monocoque that we lay up by hand in Turin.

  1. 01

    11.9 kg, motor included

    A 250 W hub drive the size of a coffee cup and a 360 Wh pack folded into the down tube.

  2. 02

    Assist that follows your legs

    A torque sensor reads you 500 times a second, so the boost arrives as your effort, not after it.

  3. 03

    A light line, not a headlamp

    Sealed into the frame, it dims with the road and flares when a car closes from behind.

“It doesn’t feel electric. It feels like the best legs I have ever had, on a good day, all day.”

Marta Oyelaran, road racer, after 190 km on the coast
