Mountain bike concept

A retro-inspired mountain-bike study, exploring form, materials and visual identity through sketches, studio views and rendered riding scenes.

The exploration

Design intent

Explore how retro character could inform a contemporary dual-suspension mountain bike. The study considers the relationship between frame proportions, component placement and a distinctive visual identity.
