With quality materials, well-designed ergonomics and high-class technology, this bike masterfully combines the classic and the modern.

The stylish highlights include the front-wheel mudguard, which powerfully emphasises the classic design lines, and the aesthetic single seat bench that wins riders over with its incredible seat comfort. With these and other highlights, every mile is an experience in itself.
