Wood offers a natural beauty and unparalleled elegance that simply cannot be replicated by other materials. Each piece of wood has its own texture and pattern, making every bicycle unique. The depth and warmth of the wood give our bicycles a sophisticated and distinctive appearance, standing out anywhere you go.

While wood might seem an unusual choice for a bicycle material, it offers an exceptional combination of strengts and flexibility. The Brazilian Cherry wood frame is designed to absorb impacts and distribute stresses efficiently. Moreover, the natural properties of wood help minimize vibrations, making each ride confortable.

Jatobá, or Brazilian Cherry, is renowned for its impressive strength, often compared to certain types of steel. Despite its high density, using advanced technology, we are able to craft a light and strong frame. Our wooden bicycles weigh approximately 7lbs (3.2 kg) and can withstand loads of over 1 ton. This combination of lightness and durability ensures exceptional performance.
