Sonora (Fat 26″)
26×4″ Max
For the Sonora, we went for a mountain bike tardtail design frame. The angle of the suspension is not so steep to provide more stability in difficult terrain. It is low so you can get off the seat and spring with your knees.

Chapultepec (Cruiser Single Speed)
700×28 Max
The Chapultepec’s drop bar geometry makes it easy to mount and dismount the bike. In order to have a smooth, relaxed, seated (upright posture) ride, we chose an intermediate seat tube angle for the telescope, thus achieving a steering that is neither too fast nor too slow and stable.

Materials
Bamboo is one of the strongest natural materials in nature.
Bamboo can withstand up to 1ton/cm2 of compression force, this is twice the tolerance of steel.Bamboo is also lighter making it ideal for bicycle construction. Other incredible quality is that it absorbs as much as x4 more vibrations than carbon fiber, making our bikes, the smoothest bicycle (ideal for long rides).Neither bamboo nor carbon fiber are subject to fatigue. Your bike can endure daily use and falls without losing its strength.It takes up to 15 years for a regular pine tree to grow, it takes bamboo as little as 3 years to reach the same level, making it a very renewable source.Naturally bamboo generates 30% more oxygen than trees, this helps break down Co2 generated by cars. It takes up to 15 years for a regular pine tree to grow, it takes bamboo as little as 3 years to reach the same level, making it a very renewable source.
50k unidirectional Carbon Fiber
+ epoxy resin, our bikes are all hand made and hand finished to perfection. This incredible material makes all the joints extremely strong yet light. Using unidirectional fibers let us design the frame’s structure, making it stronger where it needs to be.
Design Prizes and Certificates
BID_12
Bamboocycles: Best Industrial design Chapter México: winner Diego Cardenas. Every two years di_mad Central de Diseño and the Spanish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation organize a design competition that covers four categories, a panel of experts judge several entries and pick a winner for each country and category.
