Headquartered in Paris, Heroin is a bicycle company unlike any other. In their efforts to create what they have dubbed the “ultimate object,” the Heroin design team takes a decidedly innovative approach while simultaneously embracing the traditional cycling aesthetics and ergonomics of its native France. It builds its bikes using only the highest quality parts handmade by masters of carbon casting in the cycling mecca of Italy. The result is a line of exceptional vehicles that merge technical prowess with an exceptionally elegant appearance.
Using the finest materials and meticulous manufacturing techniques, Heroin has reached new heights with its H1 Limited Edition bicycle. Striking in its sleek design and uniform black color, this bike is certainly a unique work of art. And it’s made all the more rare by the fact that Heroin is producing only 349 limited edition H1 models.
Designed to ride as great as it looks, this bicycle features a frame and fork that is composed of high modulus carbon fiber — a substance that is roughly ten times stronger than steel. Its wheels rest on modulus carbon fiber rims supported by manually fitted Sapim CX-Ray spokes.
Heroin created the H1 Limited Edition to be a “versatile climbing bike,” and the bicycle definitely excels in the hills. In addition to allowing riders to travel uphill with relative ease, its moderately firm steering allows for outstanding handling while traveling downhill.
