Joining the ranks of high-end bicycles are these Porsche Bikes, made for cyclists who have developed a taste for classy transportation.
With Audi having released a bike, it's no surprise that Porsche is joining the club. The company is coming out with not one, but two two-wheelers for the market. The RS-model features a carbon fiber framing, 20 options in the gear box and 29-inch Chrank Brothers wheels that promise sturdy road grip. The S-model is the heavier version due to its Aluminum 7500 grade metal frame. This one has 11 options in the gear box and DT Swiss tires. These Porsche Bikes will likely cost a lot given the reputation of the company, but with its superior design, you're at least getting the best-of-the-best in cycling.
