Woody pursuit

Renovo hollow wood and laminated bamboo frames will change your understanding of what a bicycle is.
Renovo claims that its wooden frame gives you the smoothest bike you’ll ever ride, stealth, quiet, light and responsive, stiff as you want. 6 reasons why Renovo is a better choice:
- Made with natural material that is lightweight, it weighs only 3.5 to 4.5 pounds, as compared to normal bikes, which are 16.5 to 20 pounds.
- The wood’s natural ability to absorb shock and vibration will give you a magically smooth ride
- Tailor the stiffness and ride to what you want, from carbon-stiff hickory to the supple smoothness of laminated bamboo
- Remarkably tough hardwood frame easily withstands impact that ruin butted metal or carbon frames
- Substantially longer life as compared to aluminimun or steel. The Renovo is an heirloom quality frame
- The frame of the Renovo uses sustainable woods, bamboo and low VOC waterborne sealers and finishes making it an environmental friendly choice.
