Rotor Elcano Pinion. Just your bike?

25. January 2022

One bike for all

The fairly new category of so-called gravel bikes is currently all the rage. They manage the balancing act from everyday bike to sports machine and thus appeal to a large target group: Just as suitable for the road as for off-road cycling. Sporty and comfortable at the same time. Steady as a rock and maneuverable. Lightweight and yet robust. For the after-work ride and the multiple-day tour.

Perfect, if the desired object can also convince with features such as low service and maintenance requirements and durable components.

The Elcano of the manufacture Rotor Bikes is an individually manufactured on customer request and based on a hand-made steel frame.

A variety of RAL color options are available to choose from. Here: Illusion Light Blue.
