A new jewel born from the union of two Italian excellencies. is born. Metamorphosisthe first sport utility bike that aims to revolutionise the cycling experience, designed by De Rosa e Pininfarina. Elegant and with a unique style for getting around in the contemporary metropolis, but also with a sporty soul, with performance and technology ideal for sports and off-road trips. Metamorphosis perfectly reflects the image of the modern gentleman.
The dynamic shapes are reminiscent of the master's sports cars Pininfarina. The frame is made of carbon monocoque inner mold, which is light and suitable for performance; the gearbox is made of the Shimano Alfine 8 Speed groupset; the high-profile 40mm aluminium wheels provide excellent comfort while still ensuring a high sliding speed. Metamorphosis is the ideal everyday companion for efficient and sustainable travel.
The main feature of the sport utility bike is its extraordinary versatility: it can be transformed from urban to gravel bike with a choice of two equipment options. Comfort saddle and handlebars ensure maximum comfort on urban journeys. By replacing them with their Sport version, then, the bike is transformed into a high-performance gravel bike. Ride comfort and smoothness both in the city and off-road is ensured by the toothed belt drive.
Metamorphosis, the new Pininfarina and De Rosa jewel
Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman of the Pininfarina Group, said: 'Metamorphosis is not a new bicycle but a new way of thinking about and experiencing the bicycle. An object with a strong personality capable of high performance in different contexts, from the city to natural environments. Pininfarina's innate propensity to imagine new scenarios has found in De Rosa an extraordinary partner to make them real.."
Cristiano De RosaDe Rosa's Managing Director, on the other hand, commented on the new project as follows: '.It is the birth of a new category that did not exist until yesterday. De Rosa's choice of the best materials, combined with the attention to detail that has always been a symbol of Pininfarina excellence, have led to a product that is unique in its aesthetics and versatility.”
