ZODIAC
The Zodiac has often been described as a truly imaginative complete bike, a combination of textbook geometry and impeccable style and innovation in bicycle engineering. A feat we accomplished with a lot of time, effort and careful planning, not to mention that burning desire for bicycle precision.
Don’t let the 80’s fade trick you into thinking the Zodiac has gone retro, because it’s the complete opposite, this things straight from the future. You need to look right into the details of this bike to spot the full scope of this execution. Look closely and you’ll see the ÉCLAT ‘Moon’ grips and the ‘Oz’ pivotal seat with its spaceship like base.
And that’s not all because the Zodiac comes fully equipped with the latest in BMX componentry, including SALTPLUS ‘Magic’ Forks with invest cast drop outs, SSALTPLUS ‘Delta’ CNC alloy top loading stem and an ÉCLAT ‘Diesel’ Chain. The future theme continues with the newly crafted SALTPLUS ‘Trapez-v2’ female hubs, a pair of ÉCLAT tires and a set of the amazing ‘Plaza’ pedals also by ÉCLAT.
