Pirelli believes the bicycle will have a central role to play in helping traffic management and future mobility.
Cycl-e: the bike tire that changes your approach to city living
Mobility solutions in this new age are changing and Pirelli dedicated its energy to a new line of electric bicycle tires, Cycl-e, to ensure more sustainable transportation solutions in city areas jammed with traffic and autonomous vehicles and public transport. Increasing the number of services and infrastructures dedicated to the bike, seen as an efficient method for urban transport, is leading to growing numbers of bike users and bike-friendly cities and urban routes within cities. The new tire offers maximum puncture resistance and the handling and the reliability of a motorcycle tire, thanks to its patented profile that’s the result of Pirelli’s experience in the motorbike sector. The catalyst of this new product development was the increase of the number of bike users and platforms of bike sharing, in which the brand of Milan saw an opportunity to transfer its experience in innovation and technology, still maintaining its renowned vision regarding safety and performance.
Cycl-e is a product of Pirelli’s engagement in the sustainable mobility sector, where the company is also active in the automotive field and of Pirelli’s ‘tailor-made’ strategy that can build a complete product line customized according to the needs and the style of the user.
