The Fabulous Form+Function Bike

Having been a writer at Yanko for over a year, I’ve seen my fair share of bicycle designs. Some classy and sober, some weirdly outlandish, but aesthetic nonetheless. The Sync bicycle however, is like nothing I’ve seen before. It doesn’t look unnatural, for one. It looks unique, but something about it feels right. The design takes inspiration from the biker’s seating posture, allowing the cycle frame to reflect the user’s body position. The result is a bike that has a powerful visual that almost makes you wonder why all bikes don’t look like this!

The Sync’s unique shape also allows it to absorb decent amounts of shock, while having a strong and sturdy build… but you’re probably not reading any of this because you can’t get your eyes off the bicycle!
