Bugatti has partnered with the PG bicycle brand to create yet another affordable product. Accessible to few…
More than 300,000 people visit Razão Automóvel every month – thank you to everyone, without exception, for your preference! That said, it is very likely that in this universe of RA readers there are cycling and mountain biking practitioners. For this restricted group of readers, a bicycle costing thousands of euros is eventually normal.
For the rest, a bicycle costing more than a few hundred euros is scandalous. Costing more than a car is then unthinkable!
Please let me remain convinced that the bike I bought at Decathlon for 300 euros is the state of the art of «two wheels». I know it's not…
I know it's not because I have friends who have recently converted to this “crankset religion” and tight-fitting clothing. When I hear names like Shimano, Magura and American Eagle, I know it's time to go. As stubborn I am, I continue to stare in horror at the values of bicycles and their equipment.
When I hear horrors like a bicycle suspension costing €3,000 I automatically convert that amount into car parts.
The Bugatti bike costs 37,000 euros
Having made this declaration of ignorance about everything that involves bicycles, let me continue to compare the incomparable. Let's leave the world of common mortals and enter the universe of Bugatti customers.
A universe where it is “normal” to pay more than 35,000 euros for an overhaul and a change of tires – this is the estimated value for a Veyron overhaul. A universe where it is also “normal” to pay €37,000 for a bicycle.
That said, Bugatti teamed up with the PG brand to make a limited edition bicycle with the French brand name. The chassis… sorry, the frame (!) is made of carbon fiber and weighs just 5 kg. In all, Bugatti will produce only 667 units of this bike.
I leave you a challenge. Go through our Facebook and tell us which car you bought with the 37,000 euros that Bugatti asks for this bike.
