BMW M Series Bike Makes Cycling Luxurious
BMW is heading into a realm fellow auto maker Peugeot has been mastering for decades – bicycles. You won’t find too many of these bikes getting converted into BMW fixed gears in Philadelphia, but there may be a few riding around nicer parts of Center City. The BMW M Bike is made for speed riders who are “serious cycling enthusiasts.” M Bike will be produced as a limited edition two wheeler, and sold both online or have the ability to be picked up at BMW dealerships.
Available from June of this year, M Bike will be sold in three different frame heights. It’s an aluminum frame with a Match front suspension fork from Manitou. Suspension springs have an 80-millimeter deflection. BMW engineers installed a fi’zi:k leather saddle with a red insert. Other features include disc brakes, a Shimano SLX component group/gear system with high gear ratio to optimize speed. Check out the press release below:
Rolling Wonder. The BMW M Bike – The BMW M Bike is a spectacular combination of state-of-the-art technology and exclusive design. Disc brakes and an elegant matt anthracite frame with the M logo combine perfectly with the leather saddle, stunning rims and handles, and shiny red seat inlay. Characteristic of the entire M collection, which, like the BMW M model itself, stands for the extraordinary and unique.
The thrill of speed – Anyone who rides this sporty speed bike through the city or takes a short tour through the countryside will immediately attract a lot of attention – at least for a few seconds. The high total gear ratio transmission delivers astonishing speed.
The best of the best. The BMW M Bike’s fi’zi:k saddle is made from the highest quality leather with a red inlay. This ensures extra riding comfort and superior grip. The built-in Shimano SLX gear system is light and sturdy. The Manitou Match suspension fork on the front wheel is incredibly durable and the disc brakes make for a clean stop.
Starting in June 2010 BMW M Bikes will be available in a special limited edition at select BMW dealers and online at www.bmw-shop.com.
Here you’ll also find choice textiles and other accessories from the M Collection, including the M Cabin Bag, a travel bag made from the finest leather, or the M Shoes – black sneakers made from a leather-nylon mix, designed in cooperation with Puma.
