French brand Heroin has created a unique bicycle with Le Corbusier’s “Modulor” architecture concept in mind. The concept strives to achieve ideal proportions in order to create harmony for riders and the space they live in.

The bike utilizes raw materials and natural lines and was developed by a group of the top experts in carbon fiber, aerodynamics, and morphological analysis to complete the design of Heroin founder Marc Simoncini and his team.

The Heroin Bike is assembled in France and is made from parts derived from Italy. The whole process took two years to complete from design to development with every minute detail covered.

Simoncini and his team even dedicated time to working out the bike in air tunnels to create as little drag as possible. The result is a 10-percent boost to the bicycle’s drag coefficient at only 12 mph, much in thanks to a honeycombed texture molded into the tubes exposed to air resistance to max out the aerodynamic profile.

Only 349 numbered examples of the Heroin bike will be made, with each priced at $16,924 and tuned to accommodate each owner.
