Merlin Cielo"Art is revolution" - Gauguin

F
rom the delicately engraved lugs to the union of titanium and carbon fibre technology, the Merlin Cielo is inspiring a revolution of beauty and performance.

A technical marvel, the new Cielo is truly the embodiment of over 100 years of combined design experience, bridging the principles of art and technology to stand as a masterpiece worthy of the heavens.

I had the experience of handling one at Treknology Bikes 3 on Tanglin Road, and the frame felt lighter in my hands than my first Nokia mobile phone!

Truly unique, Merlin has fused a multi-layered, uni- & multi-directional carbon fibre with finely crafted titanium to produce a bike that lives up to its name "Cielo", which is Italian for "Heaven".

But please don't be too overwhelmed by the bike's genuine good looks, because it only begins the whole story. The magical ride quality, the limitless acceleration, and the ultra-precise handling will take you places never thought possible - until now.

Benefits: Exclusive Ti-Lugged Carbon technology blends carbon-fibre and titanium, the ultimate frame materials • Individually sculpted, engraved lugs fuse artistry with cutting-edge technology Carbon seat stays shaped with their trademark hourglass curve, so you know it's a Merlin.
