M.A.S.S. is a collection of four bikes done through a collaboration between Philippe Starck and Moustache Bikes. The letters stand for Mud, Asphalt, Sand plus Snow, indicating what conditions the bikes are best ridden in.
Each design looks like it would be suited for their specified purpose, as the snow bike comes equipped with a fur-like attachment, and the one for asphalt is colored a deep black hue similar to what the road would look like. Sand is a bit lighter in color, and also has tires that allow riders to move through this surface easier than it would be with a regular bike.
These bikes should make it more efficient to ride in different environments.
