After launching the most funded bike project on Kickstarter, the 'Leopard,' SpeedX is back with the 'Unicorn,' a lightweight road bike that comes equipped with an integrated power meter.
In addition, the Unicorn has a built-in cycling computer that offers its user real-time data, which tracks speed, cadence, HBR, distance. altitude, calories, slope level, location and more. SpeedX's Unicorn is made to suit any situation, with its lightweight frame able to propel athletes uphill with speed and its different settings easily controlled.
The road bikes also come with a vibration control system and hydraulic disc breaks, meaning that its safe and comfortable to ride in nearly any weather condition. With the company's last project receiving 2.3 million in funding, it's no surprise that Unicorn has already greatly surpassed its $50,000 goal.
