MODENA: Maserati has teamed up with Italian bike brand, Cipollini, to create a one-of-a-kind Maserati Cipollini BOND road bicycle in conjunction with the inaugural Rouleur Classic event.
The £4,500 (around RM30,000) bike, which will be signed at the show by Mario Cipollini, will be the centrepiece of the Maserati Lounge, where visitors will be invited to join a silent auction to win the bike and raise money for Action Medical Research.
Action Medical Research has been funding medical innovations since they began back in 1952. Breakthroughs such as the first polio vaccines in Britain, ultrasound in pregnancy and the rubella vaccine have helped to save thousands of children’s live.
Guests will be able to enter the silent auction at the Maserati Lounge throughout the Rouleur Classic as well as via www.championsofcyclesport.com. The auction will then continue on stage at the Champions of CycleSport Dinner on Nov 26 when the overall highest bidder will be announced at the end of the evening.
The Cipollini BOND frame is painted in Maserati blue and white and features Rouleur Classic and Maserati branding, including the Maserati trident in red on either side of the seat tube.
Rouleur is a road cycling journal and was founded in 2006 catering to professional and amateur cyclists.
The bike has an 11-speed Ultegra mechanical groupset, Selle San Marco Aspide racing saddle and a Fast Forward F2A alloy clincher wheelset.
