The design of the KZS Cycle differs not only in the form of its frame, but also in the shape of the material used to manufacture it. The concept conveyance is not made up of the common tubular components; rather, Kiss Zsombor began with a flat strips of metal that were then sculpted into a graceful 3D form.
A bicycle that would behave with stability and the necessary stiffness to support its rider actually appears as delicate as a sinuous ribbon. The brushed metal bends gently around the front tire and up towards the seat post, leaving the middle of the two-wheeler with an open body that looks impossibly lightweight and extremely agile. Some of the added fine details of the KZS Cycle include lovely wooden handlebars and shiny silvery chains and gears.
