Lancia MomoDesign Urban Bike: the first
two-wheel Lancia cabrio
The Lancia MomoDesign Urban Bike, a
hypertechnological bicycle, is a product of the rewarding, ongoing,
partnership between Lancia and MomoDesign. Constructed in a limited,
numbered series, the new two-wheeler stands out for its beautifully
refined design, high technology, and attention to detail with everything
at the service of the utmost comfort. These are the winning features
that have always been part of Lancia cars, as can be seen in the
MomoDesign Ypsilon Sport, the new twin soul (dynamic look and innate
elegance) version which further enhances the range in the eyes of the
younger clientele, always on the lookout for a
sports vehicle at an
accessible price.
An expression of the all-Italian taste for style and 'savoir vivre', the
new Lancia MomoDesign Urban Bike is distinguished by the quality of its
materials and the technological solutions adopted. For each component
the aim of the material adopted was to guarantee maximum lightness
combined with best performance. For example, the carbon fibre used for
the monocoque (is the lightest technology available for building sturdy
structures) with titanium reinforcements, a
light, strong
material that is compatible with carbon. The fork, handlebar, seatpost,
mudguard and pannier are also in carbon fibre. And again with lightness
in mind, magnesium (a compound also used in Formula 1 and in racing
motorbikes) has been used for the pedals and aluminium for the wheel
rims and flat spokes: the best solution because it does not rust.
Finally, prestigious Frau leather lines the saddle and grips.
The new Lancia MomoDesign Urban Bike embraces the best technology
available in the sector. For example, the rear eight-speed gearbox
tucked invisibly away inside the rear wheel hub offers maximum versatility
whether riding on the flat and on the steepest climbs. And again: the
belt (not chain) transmission not only makes pedalling smoother and more
comfortable, but it does not dirty the way normal transmission chains
do, so making it possible to use the bike dressed for the office.
Finally, the frame with its bow shapes which are highly effective in
soaking up roughness in the terrain and the wide section tyres,
guarantee greater safety on uneven roads, making dampers and suspensions
superfluous.
