Renard | Grand Tourer Motorcycle

The DNA of the Renard Grand Tourer is engineering intelligence – an ultra-light composite unibody, longitudinally mounted V2 engine and components that represent the cutting edge of the motorcycle industry. The Renard GT’s carbon-fiber monocoque weighs only 11 kilograms, and is reinforced with Kevlar, to make it resistant to impact and vibration. Thanks to an increased cross-section, the composite body is stiffer than a regular pipe frame, and thus ensures very precise steering. The unibody integrates the motorcycle’s frame, gondolas, petrol tank and air box into a single load-bearing structure. The sleek, no-nonsense exterior gives the Renard its distinctive appearance.

The Tritorn | All Bike

For most bike enthusiasts, the difference between comfort and pain, fast and slow, safe and unsafe matters a lot.

It wouldn’t be an overstatement to call their latest work, The Triton a dream bike for every enthusiast. Like bikers, they follow their own road and the result is an inimitable motorcycle that takes its inspiration directly from the culture of comics. Using a Norton featherbed frame and a Triumph 750 Bonneville engine, the Triton is the brainchild of French designers Frank Charriaut and Vincent Prat from Southsiders MC. However, it was Daniel Delfour who could actually make their blend a reality with his ability to decode what actually the designers intended. In the most amazing part of bringing the bike together, Delfour decided to do away with front brakes, supposedly, in the pursuit to follow their own road or maybe they wanted to break free of the rules. So, keeping aside all the mumbo-jumbo of what brought this heart throb to the streets, you can actually do away with the trash in your garage and make space for this beast.
