Three bikes as if from another planet

Mainstream is boring? No need for a bike like everyone else already has? If you answer yes to these questions, you can find inspiration here. Your neighbor certainly doesn't have the bike from Structure Cycleworks. Scar Cycles offers unique bikes with beautiful refinements. And there's a bamboo hardtail from Eker Bikes, which should also do well in terms of its environmental footprint.

A closer look at the Enduro from Scar Cycles reveals interesting details: the rocker is printed from titanium. The dropouts, yoke and pivot mounts on the rear triangle are also 3D printed from engineering steel. Of course, the high pivot point with the chain idler is particularly eye-catching. Stefan Lorenz from Scarcycles, a frame builder from Schöfland, as well as Michael Renfer and Pascal Dommen from Brotlos-Design are involved in the bike. scarcycles.ch

The mountain bikes from Structure Cycleworks are hard to miss. While the rear triangle is completely conventional, the front of the bike turns all mountain bike conventions on their head. An elaborate design provides 153 millimetres of suspension travel, and the anti-dive character of the suspension is designed to prevent the handlebars from dipping during compression. In addition, the steering angle can flatten out by up to seven degrees when fully compressed. To achieve this characteristic, Structure Cycleworks has done a lot of system integration and created an absolutely unique SCW1 bike. structure.bike

The bike from Eker is both conventional and exotic at the same time. The diamond frame of the hardtail is nothing new. Although bamboo as a frame material is nothing new in bicycle construction, it is still extremely rare. According to the Swedish manufacturer, the bamboo material is particularly suitable for climate protection and the frame even has a positive climate footprint, as it binds 789 kg of CO2 per frame. ekerbikes.com
