Show Bike #3, and another addition to the Scale lineup… Nightshift. Artist Series colorways tend to be loud and attention grabbing so for this one, we flipped the script. From afar, it looks like a black bike. Get closer though, and you might find yourself continuing to find new details the longer you stare.
Inspiration: Mosaic Artist Series #6, Scale – in perhaps the most subtle yet enticing colorway yet.
Technique: The Nightshift Scale starts with a two color fade, Pearl Black Diamond on top to Pearl Stormy Grey on the bottom. A raw titanium Knockout Logo ties things together, a nod to the standard Mosaic Finishwork Program. The Scale pattern is then randomly stamped over the base color/colors to create an intricate, layered texture, one that you could never repeat to be exactly alike another. Each frame takes approximately 20 hours of painting and sanding, and no two finishes are the same. We launched Scale with six base colors in early 2024, and after MADE, we’re up to 9!
The Bike: The RT-1 ITR flips the script on what a road bike can be. Geometry is nimble and responsive as a road bike should be, but an Enve In Route fork paired with a CADEX Integrated Aero cockpit allows us to push tire clearance up to 700x35c, so you can push this bike beyond the typical road ride.
