In a remarkable fusion of Italian design and Danish engineering, Cinelli and OMNIUM have unveiled the Supercargo, a limited-edition cargo bike that seamlessly blends functionality with style. This collaboration celebrates both brands’ commitment to urban cycling and their shared history in the messenger community.
A Tribute to Urban Cycling Heritage
The Supercargo pays homage to Cinelli’s longstanding influence in urban cycling, notably through iconic projects like the Cinelli x MASH collaboration. This partnership introduced the world’s first urban-specific performance track frame, the Cinelli–MASH, in 2009, which quickly became a subcultural phenomenon. (capovelo.com)
Founded in 2012 by Danish bicycle courier Jimmi Bargisen, OMNIUM has been a staple in the cycle messenger and courier community. The brand has participated in the Cycle Messenger World Championships for years, including victories in 2018 and 2019. (bikeradar.com)
Design and Specifications
The Supercargo’s frame is crafted from double-butted chromoly steel, incorporating Columbus tubing, and is available in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. Each frame is individually numbered and finished in Azzurro Laser, a distinctive blue reminiscent of Cinelli’s Laser track bike. (bikeradar.com)
