Product description
RIVA Piper blue (blue)
Due to bottlenecks and delays in worldwide supply chains, the manufacturer may have replaced individual components from the original specification with equivalent or even higher quality components. Therefore, the bicycle delivered may deviate from the images in certain cases.
With its advanced geometry that is light, agile and fast, the PIPER is the first choice for those looking for performance and endurance in an urban environment. With the FLIP/FLOP hub, you can switch from a singlespeed to a stationary bike in no time.
When it comes to frames, Riva focuses on comfort, design and construction technology. That's why they are made of Cromoly, a special steel alloy of chromium-molybdenum 4130, which is also used in aeronautics and in the construction of vehicles for automobile competitions.
This material has mechanical properties that make it possible to build a light and resistant frame with smaller tubes that do not require reinforcements at critical joints and offer a refined look and greater ride comfort thanks to the combination of high resistance and low stiffness. This is possible because the mechanical strength of Cromoly is 80% higher than aerospace aluminium, which is stiffer and therefore less comfortable and prone to fatigue fractures.
