When it comes to high-end bicycles, material selection is crucial. At Andicrose, we choose wood, specifically Brazilian Cherry, also known as Jatobá, the choice had several reasons, among that blend performance, aesthetics, and sustainability. But why wood?


Historical Roots

The earliest bicycles were made of wood in the 19th century. Today, Andicrose revives this tradition with cutting-edge technology, creating bicycles that are synonymous of luxury and innovation.

Natural Aesthetic 
and Elegance

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. 


Performance and Comfort

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.

Lightweight and Strong

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.

Sustainability is at the core of Andicrose's philosophy. The wood we use is sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring that harvesting does not harm the environment. By utilizing wood responsibly, we create high-quality products from a renewable resource, all while protecting the forests.
