Designed to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Wilbur Shaw’s victory of the 500 miles of Indianapolis behind the wheel of a Maserati 8CTF, the new Montante for Maserati 8CTF is now available through the online Maserati Store.
Made to order, the limited edition Montante for 8CTF Maserati bike retails at a price of £3,204 (3600 Euros) plus shipping, the British division of Maserati revealed.
Built by Montante, the 200 individually numbered bicycles are reportedly made-to-measure to fit the rider perfectly. As sizes vary from person to person it is important, when purchasing the frame, to choose the perfect size.
The 8CTF model, a single speed bicycle, comes from one of Montante’s original design, and boasts unique and distinctive details, which will certainly be appreciated by true fans of the Italian car brand.
For example, the silver Trident on a grey background on the hubs are inspired by the Maserati’s supercharged three-litre engine, the Maserati logo in a Thirties’ style on the frame reprises the metallic plate identifying the car’s chassis, while the enamelled oval is a faithful reproduction of the one on the car’s bonnet.
In addition to that, the number 1 is the same as the one featured on Shaw’s car with which he won, twice in a row, the world’s most famous American race.
“The Sicilian company, famous for the amazing bikes it produces, has teamed up with Maserati in order to deliver a product which embodies the excellence and the Italian style from both brands,” a company statement reads. “From the Montante-Maserati collaboration, a new bicycle has been produced for all the admirers of the Trident Marque.”
