Speed, smartness, and a lifetime guarantee.

While we’re busy giving IoT features to automotive vehicles, there lies the potential to make bicycles smart too. Now I’d rather have a smart bike than a regular bike with my phone strapped to it. A smart bike like the SpeedX Leopard comes with a computer attached on the front. The software running on it is tailor-made specifically for the cyclist. It has a 2.4 inch screen, and a software running in the background to show you all the relevant data you need, from speed, time, slope and GPS, to personal stats too, like your heart-rate, cadence/tempo, and calorie burner.

On the design front, the SpeedX Leopard is quite a winner. Designed by one of the most reputed agencies in the world, Frog design, the cycle is a lean, mean, speed machine. Its carbon fiber construction ensures it stays sturdy while being quite light at 7.9kgs. The cycle’s hollow structure conceals all the wires, resulting in a clean, crisp bike frame. The bike’s frame also integrates a mount for your HD camera; and to top things off, you get a lifetime guarantee on the bike’s chassis. Find me a bike this amazing, I dare you!
