Discover YOOXYGEN by Cigno and its accessories
Sometimes looking to the past can be the best way to come up with the next big thing of the future. The bicycle designed by Cigno for YOOXYGEN is more than a little evocative icon of the past Graziella – the two-wheeled demoiselle who took the 70s by storm with her futuristic features and is still fondly remembered by a few nostalgics. Thanks to the vision of the talented designers at Italian firm Cigno, it has now found a deserving successor that takes the original formula to the next level.

If fashion fails to impress you and you’re more of a tech junkie, then great news – the YOOXYGEN bike boasts a few rather impressive features: a solar-powered headlamp, an easily foldable frame and removable eco-leather seat and handlebars that make carrying it around hassle-free, as do the smaller wheels. And there should be no fearing bicycle thieves with the special Cigno lock.
ABOUT CIGNO
Cigno is a brand belonging to the Bernardi group, a leader in the bicycle accessories sector since the 1940s. The Bernardi group acquired Cigno in 2006 to re-launch the Made in Italy value by creating a high-quality bicycle in a retro style, yet updated for today. Hence, the birth of Cigno La Bicicletta: a sophisticated design that joins the elegance of a 1950s chrome frame with technical, long-lasting materials and modern components. A perfect mix of vintage and contemporary renders this exclusive bicycle an example of exquisite design and Made in Italy pride.
