Starkenn Sports Pvt Ltd, a
premium bicycling company headquartered in Pune, having launched the most
expensive bike for Rs 11 lakh at Auto Expo 2014, has announced the launch of
the much talked about Propel Advanced SL 0. Confirmed by the VeloLab report,
Propel Advanced is the fastest road bike in the world. The bike is used by Team
Giant- Alpecin riders Marcel Kittel and John Degenkolb, and has helped them win
a number of races including stage races at the Tour de France. Additionally,
Starkenn displayed a number of On Road, X Road and Off Road bikes ranging from
Rs 20,000 to Rs 10.5 lakh.
The Propel Advanced when
compared to any other road bike, has proven time and time again to be more aero
dynamic from every angle tested. The bicycle makes use of technologies such as
the SpeedControl SLR brake system, integrated seatpost and internal cable
routing. The Tests also show that, at the speed of 40 kph, the Propel Advanced
SL saves around 12- 36 seconds over a distance of 40 kilometres. Furthermore,
Giant’s renowned light weight and superior ride quality helps make Propel a
bike designed to win.
Starkenn Sports also gave an
exclusive preview to a number of Giant, Starkenn and Liv bikes at the Auto
Expo. Excelling in technological performance and strategic collaborations,
Starkenn Sports Pvt Ltd, has emerged as the leader in the bicycle industry.
Keeping up with modern manufacturing standard, Starkenn bikes are made to
satisfy the urbanites’ need for adventure, outdoor fitness, sporting activity,
group indulgence activity, etc. The bikes offer the highest levels of safety,
performance, comfort and convenience for the users. Additionally, Starkenn
Sports has partnered with some of the world’s best names in bicycle spares,
accessories and equipment making the cycling experience a holistic one.
Commenting on the occasion,
Pravin V Patil, MD & CEO, Starkenn Sports Pvt Ltd said, “In spite of India
being the second largest manufacturer of bicycles, the growth of utility
bicycles has remained flat over the years. Interestingly however, premium
bicycling has seen a consistent growth. Attributing this growth to the
increasing health and environmental awareness, we at Starkenn Sports aim to
provide the customers with a one stop solution to all their bicycling needs.”
He further added, “Our
decision to launch the Propel Advanced SL 0, a highly aero dynamic and the
fastest bike in the world was aimed to bring in the best of the cycling world
to budding Indian cyclists who want to take up cycling at a professional level.
India is gradually opening up to the concept of bicycling as a hobby and a sport
and for this we plan on being able to provide the best to our customers. Auto
Expo has been a highly respected platform among the auto fraternity and which
is why we chose to showcase our products here. We aim to continue our
association with Auto Expo for years to come.”
