A month has already passed since the Italian Bike Festival in Misano Adriatico, where Clorofilla Bike Lab made its official debut with the launch of Traildiva.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen growing interest around this special bike that combines the functionality of a cargo with the off-road spirit of a mountain bike. Many of you have asked to learn more, and as promised, we’re here to share an update on this exciting and challenging journey.
On September 20th, we took part in the Artisans of the Bicycle competition held within the FAR Gravel event — an initiative organized by our friend Raffaele Brunaldi, who has the rare talent of blending cycling’s culture and tradition with a dynamic present and a free, forward-looking vision. Lorenzo had the honor and pleasure of presenting the Clorofilla Bike Lab project and introducing Traildiva to some of the most historic brands in Italian cycling, where it was met with curiosity and enthusiasm, exchanging ideas, insights, and perspectives with some of the best Italian two-wheel artisans.
Meanwhile, Traildiva continues its testing phase, and production is gearing up to validate our results through the experience of the first testers, who will have the chance to try it out in preview and help us refine the final details before its planned market launch next spring.
But Bike Lab isn’t just about Traildiva. Other projects in the making recently took our project manager, Andrea Donati, to the mountains for a productive weekend at the Lenzerheide World Cup, where he worked closely with the mechanics of the Rogue Racing downhill team. The team continues to successfully use the new Stick stands by Clorofilla, which will soon be available in our catalog.
Right now, our priority is to build relationships — to engage with the world of the bike industry while also being present among the people who live and breathe cycling every day, whether for sport, passion, or work. We want to share our project, listen to real riders’ needs and experiences, and grow through that dialogue.
This month, Clorofilla Bike Lab will be traveling to the Netherlands on October 13–14 to take part in the International Cargo Bike Festival in Utrecht. This highly specialized fair will be the perfect opportunity to explore a mature cycling market and culture — and to see how our vision resonates within it.
All this represents just a small part of the work we’re doing to lay the foundations of the Bike Lab. We wish we could take you inside our workshop to show you the dedication we put into everything we do — and to give you a glimpse of the many new things to come.
For now, we invite you to follow us on social media and stay curious.
And speaking of curiosity — if you’re wondering how the idea for a one-of-a-kind bike like Traildiva was born, you’ll find the answer in this article.
