Renowned French designer Philippe Starck collaborated with manufacturer Moustache Bikes to unveil their first collection of electric bikes at the Eurobike Salon: M.A.S.S. collection – Mud, Asphalt, Sand, Snow. Designed and hand-assembled in France, each bike features specific ergonomics adapted to its terrain and field of exploration.
“I wanted the bike to be able to go over all kinds of terrains and especially infinite and poetic territories” – Philippe Starck.
To complement the elegance of the collection the designer unveiled also a line of tailor-made accessories dedicated to each use and each model: Causse gloves, Giro helmets, S+ARCKEYES glasses and backpacks.
ASPHALT is for fast and comfortable urban use thanks to its dual suspension frame. This charcoal grey model has a Shimano Alfine Di2 11V shifting system, integrated hub and is electrically driven. Connected to the Bosch powertrain, the shift is optimized and super high performance. Schwalbe tires and comfort elements like a fi’zi:k saddle complete the picture. Initially available in a 25 km/h version, it will also have a 45km/h counterpart.
MUD is an all-terrain bicycle whose medium hot grayscale colours combine elegance and discretion. Developed around a dual suspension frame and high-end components, it is equipped with the latest generation in gearing and Shimano XTR brakes. It has the concept of differentiated diameter 27/9 wheels introduced by Moustache and ultra high performance Fox and Rock Shox suspension.
SAND in a warm light grey colour, offers the opportunity of exploring the infinite spaces of the coast right next to the water. The huge Schwalbe tires provide the necessary lift on the sand and complement the comfort provided by the Bluto Rock Shox forks. Equipped with the Bosch system and the top of the line Shimano XTR gearing and brakes, it is adorned, among other things, with a protective cover for foul weather and integrated stowage
SNOW is dedicated to the discovery of virgin snow territory that echoes its brushed glacier colour. As for SAND, huge Schwalbe tyres offer lift and traction. The mono-arm fork allows optimum snow evacuation. Equipped with the Bosch system, Shimano XTR gearing and brakes, it even has a synthetic fur frame cover that protects the battery from extreme temperatures.
