“Dream and Do” – this is how Porsche Digital succinctly and minimally calls its product idea and puts it into practice emblematically in the new Cyklær e-bike. The gravel bike was developed in collaboration with the high-end bicycle manufacturer Storck Bicycle. Their joint vision was to create an innovative bicycle with a unique language of form and digital technology – and thus invent a new category of urban mobility that makes cycling safer, more comfortable and more connected. The result is the Cyklær bike, available in three versions, whose central design element is a full carbon frame in the shape of a parallelogram. This cleverly designed frame geometry, characterised by the elegant angle in the top tube towards the seat stays, goes hand in hand with functional benefits and allows for increased comfort with excellent stiffness, low weight and improved riding safety. The Fazua drive system, hidden in the down tube, enables sporty riding both in town and off-road and has a range of up to 120 km. The most significant feature of the bike is its smart connectivity: the integrated ICim module allows the bike to be connected to the Cyklær app and controlled via smartphone. Whether for adjusting the motor, navigation or the front and rear cameras, which also serve as mirrors – the module makes manoeuvring in traffic comfortable and safe.
Statement by the Jury
The well-thought-out design concept of the Cyklær e-bike implements the quality standards of the two companies in an outstanding manner and presents a premium model that impressively combines design, digital knowhow and years of expertise in bicycle construction. With its multitude of features, the smart connectivity offers a new way of getting around that is effortless, stylish, dynamic and fun at the same time.
