In conjunction with the Swedish exclusive and family-run cycling firm Allebike, Polestar has unveiled a new hand-built mountain bike with distinctive design and components. Polestar Additional's new main product is the limited-edition (100-unit) full-suspension mountain bike "Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition."
"While creating our vehicles, we pay close attention to aesthetics, engineering, and technology. For this reason, we built the Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition on the same platform." Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar and avid cyclist, is proud to declare, "Together with the fantastic team at Allebike, we have designed the ultimate mountain bike for individuals who enjoy a terrific ride and a wonderful design."
There are only a few hundred of these limited edition mountain bikes available, and they are based on Allebike's popular and adaptable Alpha model. The custom-built Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) frame, designed by Polestar and Allebike, is both light and rigid, providing a comfortable ride. The bike's current shape makes it suitable for riding on various terrains, including those typically associated with the "down-country" mountain biking category.
Sitting up straight helps you climb more quickly, but leaning to the right at an angle of 65 degrees inspires more confidence on the descent. A redesigned angular frame, symmetrical swing arm, and internal cable routing are all Polestar's minimalist design language hallmarks. Both the wireless dropper seat post and wireless gear changing are premium features.
Two matte metallic colors, Snow and Space, are offered for the Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition, making it a perfect match for Polestar's automobiles. The rare mountain bike stands out because of its Swedish gold-painted dampers and embellishments, inspired by the Polestar 2's Performance Pack.
The cutting-edge Öhlins dampers are standard equipment, much like they are in Polestar's vehicles. The mountain bike's performance is maximized by the golden Polestar versions of Öhlins RXF24 m.2 29 air suspension, which features 130 mm of travel (front dampers) and 120 mm of travel (rear shocks).
Allebike in Alingss, less than an hour from Polestar's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, hand-builds every bike.
Uphill or downhill, the Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition provides a ride that is quick, enjoyable, and stable enough to put a grin on any rider's face. Allebike's Head of Design and co-founder, Alexander Blomqvist, says the company is "glad to collaborate closely with other Swedes, such as Polestar and Öhlins, in this project, and we are all equally fascinated with fine-tuning every tiny element to perfection."
Polestar additional's new flagship product, the Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition, is sold solely on the company's e-commerce platform. The mountain bike will retail for only 9,500 euros and come in a single size and two colors.
