Since 2010, FESTKA has been building unique, high-quality carbon road bike frames
FESTKA, the very exclusive road bike manufacturer, celebrates its 10th anniversary with ten strictly limited complete bikes of each of its best-selling models: Scalatore, Rover and Doppler. We say: Congratulations for the anniversary and we are looking forward to at least another ten years with you as a partner!
To celebrate the 10th birthday, Festka produced ten limited edition pieces of each of their three best selling models. The unifying features of their design schemes, created by the company’s stalwart art director Tom Hnida, are naked carbon and 24-carat gold points,
including Xs on the down tubes symbolising the 10th anniversary as well as the number of limited edition pieces in a Roman numeral. Each of the Xs is further marked by numbers 1-10 for each frame in the limited run.
The first bike in this anniversary limited edition release is Festka Scalatore X - Festka's topof-the-range road model and a true black carbon beauty. On this special occasion, it comes exclusively fitted with a carefully curated selection of components including Lightweight wheels.
The second limited edition bike is Festka Doppler X. Launched in 2015, the Doppler gradually became an iconic model for Festka. Going against the flow in the small world of frames that combine titanium and carbon, Festka put the former where it looks best and the latter where it works best. The anniversary model features a unique finish. The titanium tubes are coated using the Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) technology – a modern method of hardwearing coating used in products exposed to friction and other wear and tear causes. In this case, the effect is highly decorative, especially in combination with the sandblasted lines of the underlying design scheme of this model. This bike is offered with carefully selected components including Lightweight WEGWEISER EVO wheels.
The third and final anniversary bike is the Festka Rover X. Originally introduced in 2018, it was a culmination of several years of R&D work and a number of partial steps towards making an off-road bike with drop bars and no suspension.
