Kraftwerk honoured with limited edition bicycle

Keen cyclists, Kraftwerk are to be honoured with a limited edition bicycle: Canyon’s Ultimate CF SLX Kraftwerk.

This limited run of 21 bicycles go on sale Monday, July 3, costing £8,999.00.

“My memories of partying in friends basements as a teenage are dominated by hearing Kraftwerk’s groundbreaking sounds,” says Canyon founder and CEO, Roman Arnold. “Kraftwerk and cycling have a special and unique connection – their music, and all they do, has inspired our work at Canyon in so many ways across the years. It is an unbelievable honour for us to pay respect to everything that Kraftwerk stands for and has achieved in such a fitting way with these stunning bikes.”

The bikes feature the band’s unique geometric pattern, originated by Ralf Hütter. Each reflective strip has been cut to measure and then laid by hand; a process which took seven hours per frame.

The August 2017 issue of Uncut is now on sale in the UK – featuring David Bowie on the cover. Elsewhere in the issue, there are new interviews with The War On Drugs, Steve Earle and Jah Wobble, we countdown Radiohead’s 30 Greatest Songs and remember Gregg Allman. We review Peter Perrett, Afghan Whigs, ZZ Top and Peter Gabriel. Our free CD features 15 tracks of the month’s best music, including Peter Perrett, Floating Points, Bedouine, Public Service Broadcasting, Broken Social Scene and more.
