CVM. Winner of the Red Dot Design Award 2021
The Red Dot Design Award is a prestigious international design prize awarded annually by the Zentrum Nordhein Westfalen in Germany. It recognises products and companies that base a large proportion of their value on design. The Cross Velo Mini bicycle won this prize in 2021. The jury stated that the CVM is “a bicycle based on historical models that has a contemporary and original shape, perfectly in tune with its lightweight and long-lasting materials”.
A handcrafted bicycle
The crossover-build of the CVM frame, made of circular chromoly alloy steel tubing with both straight and curved segments, is handcrafted by a team of highly skilled manufacturers. It is a process that encompasses design, material and "architecture".
Chromoly 4130 frame
The CVM's crossover frame is made from 4130 chromoly alloy steel tubing, inspired by the tubular structures of classic bicycle models. Chromoly steel is a very strong and lightweight material that has already proven its worth for use in bicycle frames and structures.
Reinforced carbon belt drive system
One of CVM's most outstanding innovations is undoubtedly its reinforced carbon belt drive system. The greatest advantages of this type of transmission are its durability and the fact that it is low-maintenance, does not require lubrication and does not get dirty. It offers a very quiet and smooth riding experience.
Internal gear hub
An internal gear hub has clear advantages: breakdowns are rare; it is very low-maintenance and it is very reliable. It allows riders to shift from one speed to another while the bike is stationary, which is very useful for the constant stopping at junctions and traffic lights in the city. The CVM DN3 is equipped with the internal 3 speed Shimano Nexus gear that perfectly suits in the city cicling.
Brakes
The CVM is a bike designed for urban use and offers an agile and comfortable ride, without needing to reach high speeds. For this reason, both the front and rear wheels are fitted with mechanic disk brakes. The brake levers under the handlebars adapt to its curved shape so that they can be operated both when holding the sides of the handlebars as when riding with a more centred grip.
Optional extras
The front and rear mudguards and the luggage rack mounted over the front wheel are optional extras that can be fitted to the CVM to protect the rider from spray from the road and to carry bags more comfortably and safely.
