La marque CILO vient d'être lancée par deux frères d'origine Française, maintenant expatriés aux USA, à Portland - Oregon. Partant du constat qu'il n'existait pas de vélo répondant rigoureusement aux besoins urbains avec un design emblematique contemporain, ils se sont lancés dans la création de CYLO, un vélo urbain ultime.
Two France-born brothers now based in Portland Oregon felt there were no bikes on the market that answer the rigorous needs of the city with an iconic design for today. This prompted them to create the CYLO Bike, the ultimate urban bicycle.
Eric Duvachelle, l'un des deux frères et auparavant designer chez Nike, avait déjà un pied dans l'industrie du Cycle. C'est sa seconde marque de vélo après avoir lancé la marque de Portland spécialisée dans les cadres titane Cycles Papillon en 2009. (...)
Eric Duvachelle, one of the brothers and former designer for Nike, already has one foot in the bike business. This is his second bicycle brand since he has been operating Portland’s titanium frame Cycles Papillon since 2009. (...)

CANYON concept-bike | Electronically Controlled Full-suspension Road Prototype
The 2014 concept bike dubbed Projekt MRSC Connected (for
Magneto-Rheological Suspension Control) is a move in the direction to
highlight a design focus on comfort, as lightness and stiffness have
continue to progress almost exclusively at the high-end. Much like any standard oil-based damper, magneto-rheological (MR)
dampers work by restricting the flow of a fluid in order to absorb
energy. Instead of the typical viscous oil, though, MR fluid is actually
a suspension of magnetic whiskers. Applying an electronic current to
that fluid changes the orientation of those whiskers, thus changing the
effective fluid viscosity and the associated damping characteristics.
Canyon feels strongly that more comfort means higher performance, and has incorporated their own VCLS Technology (Vertical Comfort, Lateral Stiffness) into their frames for several years. The Projekt MRSC is a next iteration in expanding this tech.
Canyon’s engineering team sees constant road vibration as the next biggest cause of rider fatigue beyond pedaling effort. As the back and leg muscles undergo stress to counteract road impacts and stabilize the bike, rider comfort decreases and with it endurance and speed. The vibration also breaks the bike’s contact with the road and its intended path, consuming unnecessary energy.The MRSC system proposed an active bike frameset to enhance comfort and handling, with less energy input. (...)

Alta Bikes | Norway single-speed
Alta Bikes a été fondé en 2004 par trois designers Norvégiens, évoluant dans des domaines différents : Design graphique, Design mobilier et design industriel. Leur idée est de concevoir un vélo léger, rapide et facile à entretenir, et dont le design sobre passerait à travers les tendances et les modes. Ils se sont alors lancés dans ce qui ne devait être qu'une production limitée de 50 exemplaires. (…)
