The Unno MITH has won in the Design and Innovation Awards 2023 with their MITH eMTB, a bike that has raised expectations thanks to its disruptive design language.
Launched in April 2022, the enduro-focused rig features a 750Wh Bosch-powered battery and delivers 160mm rear travel. It also has many features and integrations that were designed in-house, such as the KIOX 300 display and the robust downtube protector,
which is made from sustainable resources.
The award, also known as “the Oscars of bike industry”, honours products that feature true values of innovation. The jury spends countless hours analysing and ‘real world’ testing all the products with the aim to offer the most rigorous reviews possible. This
year the products were tested in the Italian Dolomites, a perfect environment to put bike industry products through exhaustive conditions.
The Jury’s Verdict:
“The Unno MITH is a bike-turned-design object which wouldn’t be out of place in an art gallery. The elegant look and square-edged frame silhouette are trademark features of the Catalan boutique manufacturer and reflect the exclusive character of their radical eMTB. To underline the elegant look, UNNO rely on several clever features, including their in-house, one-piece carbon cockpit
and innovative internal cable routing system for the headset, which are both neatly and beautifully integrated into the frame. Another highlight is the proprietary chainstay protector, which merges seamlessly into the seat stay, rounding off the overall harmonious picture. Moreover, UNNO are clearly making an effort to improve sustainability, employing around 200 grams of recycled plastic and rubber for each bike! According to UNNO’s own statement, they’ve managed to build an eMTB that tips the scales at just 22.7 kg, despite using robust tires and alloy wheels – awesome!”
