Gregario at the Italian Bike Festival 2025
September 5, 6, and 7, 2025, were three exciting days at the Italian Bike Festival in Misano Adriatico. This wasn't the first time we'd shown our project to the public and the press, but it was the first time we'd done so with the FINISHED PRODUCT, bringing two demo bikes available for testing on the Misano circuit, and most importantly, announcing the opening of orders.
For the occasion, we chose two examples of VERA AR in different sizes and built with Italian components: Campagnolo WRL 13s, Bora and Shamal wheels, Selle Italia and Nabico to complete the setup. We presented two completely opposite graphic designs, , and the appreciation from the public and press was evenly split between them.
One version featured a carbon-look finish that highlighted the 5HS (Harness-Satin) weave of the T1100S 12K fabric used in the lamination (along with M46J unidirectional material)…
…and the 2026 limited edition in collaboration with the incredible creatives at Truly Design, a work of art on two wheels:
After pouring so much passion, heart, and personal sacrifice into a project that was meticulously and stubbornly developed, it’s always a little nerve-wracking to release it to the public, to let just anyone get on and ride it on the track. Despite having tested and checked everything hundreds of times with obsessive care, there’s always that thrill of emotion and the nagging thought that someone might not like it…
…but any lingering doubt was completely gone within the first few hours of the festival. So many people stopped to admire the VERA AR, drawn in by its striking looks, and we could see the look of disbelief on their faces when we explained that these bikes could be made to measure. Those who tested the VERA AR on the circuit came back to our stand with huge smiles on their faces, impressed by its stiffness and responsiveness. They also really appreciated the aerodynamic qualities and the handling of the VERA AR. Keep in mind, this was on our demo bikes with “standard sizing” (the yellow one was close to a 51cm, the carbon-look one was about a 56cm), so the feedback can only get even better with a VERA AR that’s tailored to a rider’s ideal measurements!
We’re taking home a huge dose of enthusiasm and a renewed drive to continue on our path of uncompromising quality.
In the meantime, orders for the VERA AR are open! Stay tuned for upcoming events where you can admire and test ride these marvels.
