Stolen: The bike of the future

A prototype with an extremely innovative drive caused a sensation at Eurobike 2018: instead of a chain, the road bike rear triangle featured a shaft drive. The following year, the next prototype arrived, which worked with a suspension rear triangle. Now these prototypes have been stolen from a CeramicSpeed office in Boulder.

Ceramicspeed caused a sensation at Eurobike 2018: the chain is history in the "DrivEn" drive concept, which is designed to ensure unrivaled smooth running. At Eurobike 2019, the Danes, who are known for their ceramic bearings, oversized derailleur pulleys and highly efficient chain lubricants, will be demonstrating that this system could also find its place on full-suspension mountain bikes.

These two prototypes and an e-mountain bike from Specialized with a total value of 80,000 US dollars were stolen from a Ceramic Speed office in Boulder at the end of March. As the web portal Cyclingtips reports, the Specialized bike has already been recovered and a suspect is already in custody.
