The Bike:
The Prince returned to dominate.
2008 will become known as the year of the Prince.
Its World-wide success was unprecedented as it won countless awards around the globe, including the Editors' Choice for Best Race Bike from Bicycling magazine (USA), Bike of the Year from Ciclismo (Italy) and Best of Show EuroBike from CycleSport (UK) to name a few.

The characteristics of the Prince are summarized best in the enthusiastic comments from Prince owners.
In the words of one: "Incredible. A river of completely new feelings is lived on the Prince, feelings that literally ignite a demanding cyclist: the handling is extraordinary on high speed curves, tremendously explosive on violent accelerations and then when you get to know it the pedals seem to spin as if driven by a motor putting all the power from your legs to the pavement." The new 2009 production is built with our exclusive Torayca® carbon 50HM1K.

A 54 cm complete Prince with Charisma wheels and Most accessories weighs approximately 6700 grams, the frame alone in the same size approximately 900 grams.
