I’m sure it will do, I’m a bit of a Giant fanboy usually owning 3 & love how they all ride, just really don’t like the look of a lot of the newest mtb’s they’re doing.
Don’t mind the OP’s bike, although the forks are backwards. Just can’t handle the marketing crap:
Swedish product designer Eric Oscar Therner did what the city lifestyle needed– an elegant bike design, which refreshes the contemporary biking visuals and in the same time makes the biker standing out from the everyday environment, while enjoying a comfort ride.
is that curved bit meant to be the rear suspension? ‘cos it looks bouncy!
also, i never ever want to see another “concept” bike. any idiot can design ugly, it takes something special to fill the world with thousands of them. can we only do production stuff please? did this thing go into production?
Swedish product designer Eric Oscar Therner did what the city lifestyle needed– an elegant bike design, which refreshes the contemporary biking visuals and in the same time makes the biker standing out from the everyday environment, while enjoying a comfort ride. The concept is entirely inspired from the 1930’s Le Mans racers with an idea to spice it up with materials and technologies from the future. Thus way the bike is equipped with unique features such as led lights integrated into the frame and a two part saddle which absorbs shock. What really impress me in the Pilen Concept are the fine curves, the way all parts hold together in a solid, but still elegant construction giving an impression of power, comfort and safety.
DrP translation:
A man made a different looking bike, but it can still be ridden…
giving an impression of power, comfort and safety.
yeah. ‘cos an impression is all ur gonna get :p
i think calling the Jones bike ugly is unfair. all fatbikes look odd, because we’re used to skinny tyres. the fork is odd, but for a reason. nothing that works well is every really ugly imho.
