Superstrata unveils made-to-measure 3D-printed e-bicycle with an impact-resistant unibody carbon fiber frame. The Superstrata frame is constructed without joints or glue for seamless strength. It's also produced using next-generation thermoplastic materials, making it extremely impact resistant, yet remarkably lightweight.
Advanced 3D Printing Process for Customization
Superstrata uses an advanced 3D-printing process which allows for an unprecedented level of customization. The frame can be tailored to riders' heights, weights, arm and leg lengths, riding positions and even preferred stiffness levels. With over 500,000 possible combinations, Superstrata is the most versatile carbon fiber bike.
"This bike was designed to leverage all the benefits of this new manufacturing technology to get the best of both worlds: strength and lightness," said Bill Stephens, an award-winning bicycle designer and the creative force behind Superstrata.
Two versions will be available:
-
Superstrata C - a bicycle
-
Superstrata E - an e-bicycle which can be fully charged in two hours, providing for up to a 55-mile range.
Both Superstrata C and Superstrata E will feature integrated data and power wiring throughout the frame, enabling a variety of electronic upgrades.
Additional options include, different riding styles (racing, street, gravel, or touring), wheel material (metal or carbon fiber), and colorways (light or dark). The Superstrata C Bicycle will retail for $2,799 and the Superstrata E E-Bicycle for $3,999. Both are available for pre-order now. Shipping begins in December 2020.
