Gazelle Racer is a lightweight urban-road hybrid bicycle by TIAW, inspired by the agility and endurance of the gazelle. The design integrates bionic structural aesthetics with performance-oriented engineering. Crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy, the frame features clean, fluid lines that express motion, balance, and elegance. Designed for both daily commuting and longer rides, it offers smooth handling and consistent comfort across varied urban terrains.
Drawing from the natural elegance of the gazelle, the Gazelle Racer applies a biomimetic frame design. Hollowing techniques in non-load-bearing sections mimic the internal structure of bones, reducing weight without compromising rigidity. This design not only improves ride efficiency but also gives the bicycle a visual sense of motion — even at rest.
Beyond visual design, the Gazelle Racer prioritizes performance in real-world scenarios. Equipped with front and rear disc brakes, flat handlebars, and platform pedals, it offers intuitive control and braking reliability. Practical details — such as a water bottle cage mount, kickstand, and wheel reflectors — ensure full functionality across commuting and leisure use cases.
Made from high-strength aluminum alloy, the Gazelle Racer offers a sustainable alternative to carbon fiber with lower carbon emissions and recyclability. Its robust frame extends product life, minimizing premature disposal. The frame is also maintenance-friendly and supports a circular lifecycle — aligning with responsible urban mobility.
The lavender-toned frame and understated branding in deeper purple create a visual identity that is both calm and distinctive. The design emphasizes harmony and restraint, avoiding overtechnical aesthetics in favor of emotional resonance. TIAW’s design philosophy emphasizes human-centered performance and elegance in everyday use.
With a geometry finely tuned for comfort, agility, and lightness, the Gazelle Racer adapts to multiple use cases — from weekday commutes to long weekend rides. Its versatility makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced riders, bridging lifestyle and performance in one accessible design.
