'NYC' by KiBiSi

URBAN LOCOMOTION

0 Comments

Biomega continue to pull in top designers to create their bicycles; and here's the proof in the form of two spanking new designs named after two cities.

Ross 'Captain Organic' Lovegrove's LDN bike has his signature all over it in terms of integrated solutions and smooth futuristic lines.

LDN's carbon fiber form is derived from a wishbone, linking all the necessary components of the drive steering and drives systems in the most direct and economical way possible.

The hole is there to lighten the bike’s mass and to provide a detail from which to hang the bicycle on the wall, thereby saving space in restricted urban interiors.

Whilst Danish design super group KiBiSi went for a more iconic look.

Their NYC bike has a sleek and no-nonsense style, integrating a front mudguard in the aluminum down tube.

Ainiming to create an honest means of transport with the potential of a classic, the NYC takes its cue from the Biomega CPH bicycle, reinvigorating Biomega's status as a pioneer of chainless bikes - this time with a smooth, quiet carbon fiber belt drive.

Want to see these in the flesh?

The LDN bicycle will be displayed at the SHOWHOW design exhibition in Tent London from September the 23rd to the 26th, while both LDN and NYC will be presented at the Eurobike and Interbike shows in the same month.
