Young Shatterhand

Why it is renowned

Sögreni builds the Young Shatterhand as its quick bike for the city: a low balance point and 26-inch wheels let it turn in narrow places and sprint.¹² In December 2014 Virtuoso Life, the magazine of the American travel agency Virtuoso, featured it among Danish design classics by Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner and Hay.³ Søren Sögreni calls it the best mix of use, design and riding pleasure the workshop has made.¹²

The story

Søren Sögreni has said the love for the Young Shatterhand began with the first one the workshop finished, many years ago.¹ It is built to the measurements of a road bicycle, ridden upright, on 26-inch mountain-bike rims with a sprung Brooks saddle.¹² Sögreni calls the women's frame unisex, having noticed that a growing number of young men ride it, perhaps because it is easy to get on and off.¹

Each bike is fitted out to the buyer's choice before it is built: five frame sizes from 48 to 63 cm, one, three or a stepless gear hub, eight colours in matte or gloss, and a Sögreni bell in one of four metals.¹
