De Rosa X Pininfarina
Italian bicycle manufacturer De Rosa and automotive design and engineering firm Pininfarina have teamed up to present a high-end racing bicycle titled SK Pininfarina.
De Rosa has for more than 60 years specialised in the design and production of high-end bicycles, which have played a key role in competitive racing in Italy as well as internationally.
Pininfarina has over their 85 year-history produced design icons for the automotive industry, stretching their expertise into the luxury goods sector and architecture, which have become prominent worldwide.
The collaboration between the two Italian companies showcases an excellent synthesis of similar values and family-owned traditions. Both firms are known for their passion for speed, innovation, pursuit of improved performance, artisanal production methods and attention to detail. Most importantly, the two companies share a deep love for beauty and design, an aspect that shine through their high-end creations and in the product of their recent partnership, the SK Pininfarina.
To guarantee an exclusive and highly reliable product, the companies conducted exhaustive analyses of stiffness, weight, and material properties. The result is a bicycle with a sportiness expressed through elegant lines, extraordinary aerodynamics, easy handling and speed.
The focus on design revolves around innovation from a functional viewpoint and elegance from an aesthetical perspective. Equipped with a carbon fibre frame produced with the innovative inner mold-tooling technology, the bicycle weights only 6.7 kg allowing for improved performance. Down to the smallest detail the SK Pininfarina forms the perfect embodiment of aerodynamics and high-end Italian design.
The SK Pininfarina is the first result of what is intended to be a long-lived collaboration between the two companies. The bicycle is available for purchase through De Rosa dealers in Italy and internationally.
