Favorit Bikes: A Retro Bike Design by Petr Novague

Designing Bicycles for the Modern Age

In the world of cycling, where technology and design constantly evolve, the Favorit Bikes by Petr Novague stand out as a testament to the perfect blend of retro aesthetics and modern innovation. Designed with a focus on reliability, low maintenance, and elegance, these bicycles offer a unique riding experience for enthusiasts of all levels.

One of the key features of the Favorit Bikes is the use of high-quality materials and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. The frames are made from ultralight carbon fiber, providing both strength and lightness. The integrated lighting, belt drive system, and mono-varnished painting add to the overall sleek and clean design of the bicycles.

What sets the Favorit Bikes apart is the attention to detail and customization options. The customer can choose from different models with preferred riding positions and frame materials, such as superlight carbon or classic steel. Additionally, they have the option to select between a modern electronic or traditional mechanical shifting gears, ensuring a personalized riding experience.

Not only do the Favorit Bikes excel in design and functionality, but they also prioritize the rider's safety and convenience. The use of a belt drive instead of a chain reduces maintenance and eliminates the need for daily lubrication. The tires are equipped with multistage protection against defects, with a special gel that seals any punctures immediately. The concealed Bowden transmission and hydraulic brake system further enhance the overall safety and reliability of the bicycles.

The design process for the Favorit Bikes involved extensive research into the possibilities of production using ultra-light carbon materials and special alloys. The designer, Petr Novague, also delved into the history and original manufacturing processes of the Favorit brand, drawing inspiration from the expressive elements of the historic bicycles.

The result is a collection of bicycles that seamlessly blend the traditional and the modern. The iconic tubular frame design, leather seats, and handles pay homage to the brand's heritage, while the carbon belt drive, integrated gearbox, and disc brakes represent the latest advancements in cycling technology.

The Favorit Bikes were designed and produced in Prague, with the project spanning from March to August 2015. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and innovative design of these bicycles have earned them recognition in the design world. They were awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Vehicle, Mobility, and Transportation Design category in 2016, showcasing their excellence and innovation.

With the Favorit Bikes, Petr Novague has successfully revived a beloved brand while incorporating the latest advancements in cycling technology. These bicycles are not just a means of transportation, but a statement of style, reliability, and passion for the open road.
