2M has realized the frame of Twist Bike Atlantic Dobertec taking up this challenge as a unique and innovative project.
This bicycle is the result of a team work, a team of Italian manufacturing enterprises and intellectual institutions. All of them have been gathered around Dobertec and its design engineer Marco Antonelli.
The uniqueness of the piece is the innovative transmission system based on Leonardo da Vinci's engine. However, it is the Italian design that gives the bike its strong character, the result of a continuous research aiming to combine aesthetic and technology.
The research has involved the frame and its particular shape. The novelty of the new model of Twist Bike is the use of carbon fiber. 2M has devoted to the setting up of the manufacturing process and the right fiber layup, alternating different weaves, according to stress and shape. Also some transmission components, fork and pedals have been made of composites by 2M.
With regard to production of carbon components, the peculiarity of the project lies on shapes. Fiberglass and aluminum moulds have been realized in order to recreate the perfect profile designed by the engineering project.
