Britten meets Detroit

US design study recognises Kiwi genius

Legendary New Zealand race bike designer John Britten has been remembered by two design students in the USA, who have unveiled this V-twin streetbike study called the Nero.


Ian Galvin and Craig Mackiewicz, students at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, have honoured the Kiwi with a new take on a V-twin road bike design, theoretically using a modern variation of a girder-style front fork and airy lines reminiscent of the Britten racers.


Don't hold your breath waiting for production versions.
