Original as you
More cyclists. Less emissions. Simple, right?
In cities filled with gray skies, we bring joy. With every pedal forward.
In a world where everything looks the same and everyone does the same, we encourage people to listen to themselves. Everyone going straight? We turn left. Why follow the crowd when you can be yourself? That’s how we design bikes that suit you. Not everyone. You. Bikes that ride intuitively. Made from materials that last. And above all: bikes that are original, just like you. So you can ride with a positive and great feeling.
Follow yourself. That's the most fun!
Original is in our DNA. From day one, going against the grain. Not chasing trends, but leading the way to follow our own path. Our bikes are more than just means of transportation. They are statements. Full of character. Eye-catching. Bikes that allow you to be who you are. Original as you.
Joy is in the journey
Standard routes? Boring. That unexpected turn? Joy! At Cortina, we believe: biking should be fun. It's not the destination that matters, but the journey. A smile every time you hop on. That’s joy.
With an eye on the livability of the city
We share this planet toghether, so we treat it consciously. Not because it’s trendy, but because it feels intuitively right. Where possible, we choose environmentally friendly materials. Choices that make your bike last longer. For now. For later. For you. For those who come after us. Bike by bike, we make the world more beautiful.
Design that doesn't follow, but leads
Technically strong. Aesthetically appealing. A feast for the eyes. Each model is carefully designed. With attention to detail. For long durability. For repairability. And with room for your personal touch. Because we make the bike, but you make it yours. That’s true design: the perfect balance between form, function, and personality.
