Also this year Lombardo Bikes confirms its leading role in the sustainable cycling panorama, signing for the fourth consecutive year the personal participation in the Giro-E as Official Bike ManufacturerAn important milestone that underscores the Sicilian brand's strategic vision, increasingly oriented toward innovation, technology, and electric two-wheel mobility.
In addition to the official supply of e-bike For four Giro-E teams, the company is also the Official Exhibitor of the Green Fun Village Continental, the traveling space that accompanies the stages of the Giro d'Italia with a focus on environmental sustainability, innovation, and e-bike culture. A tangible commitment that strengthens the bond between the brand and the world of eco-friendly competitions, enhancing a vision in which cycling becomes tool for change.
Representing the essence of this approach is Thunder Marble, the new limited-edition e-gravel bike designed specifically for the Giro-E. A model that is not only created to amaze, but to tell a story: that of Custonaci., the brand's homeland and one of Europe's most important marble-mining hubs. It's here that the inspiration for a bike that combines matter and energy, craftsmanship and technology, comes to life.
The Thunder Marble livery recalls marble with hand-painted veining, in a pattern that is not simply decoration, but a true artistic act. Each piece is different from the other, just like the blocks of natural stone from which it draws inspiration. The veins resemble electrical discharges running through the rock, creating a visual union between the energy of the pedal-assist and the age-old solidity of the stone. The result is a bicycle that embodies the strength of the earth and the dynamism of the future.
A tangible bond with the territory
But Thunder Marble is much more than a nice looking bike. With a geometry designed to offer maximum stability and comfort on mixed routes, top-quality components, and a high-performance electric motor, sets the benchmark in the high-end e-gravel segment. The connection to the territory is further enhanced by the "Braille effect" on the surface. 6 grams of marble chips are embedded beneath the paint, making the texture perceptible to the touch. Produced in just 16 numbered copies, each individual bicycle bears the name of a different Italian marble – from Calacatta to Rosso Verona – making each piece unique and unrepeatable, like the identity from which it was born. Completing the design is an earthing symbol engraved on the frame.: a signature that celebrates the connection between the cyclist and the road.
With over 70 years of history, Lombardo Bikes continues to stand out for its ability to combine Italian design, artisanal quality, and a sustainable vision. Bringing to the roads of the Giro-E a product that is, first and foremost, a work of ingenuity and cycling passionThunder Marble is not just a bicycle: it is the moving story of a territory, a legacy, and a future carved in stone.
