What are collection bikes?
Collection bikes are limited-edition models that showcase Diamant at its most creative. They serve as a journey through our rich history or as an exploration of contemporary trends. While they are always based on current existing frames, they stand out significantly from regular models. Collection bikes are developed in creative workshops, bringing together product management, design, and marketing. Unlike regular bikes, which prioritize technology and utility, a collection bike is born from a story.
What is the story behind the Diamant 140?
“Our movement is free time”. That’s our motto this year. And we’re going to the moon. Why, you ask? Because the moon is the perfect symbol of time – and of humanity’s desire to break free from constraints to build a better world.
The Diamant 140 is our first European collection bike. We celebrate 140 years of time and embark on a new journey into the unknown. This is our moon landing moment, and the Diamant 140 is our lunar vehicle.
When did Diamant start making collection bikes?
Diamant introduced its first collection bikes in 2010 with the Pacer 125 and the Topas 125. There was no model released in 2011, but since 2012, Diamant has developed a new collection bike every year.
Why are collection bikes limited?
Each year, our collection bikes explore a unique theme and tell a self-contained story. We intentionally design bikes that stand out – sometimes in a bold or provocative way. To enhance their value as collector’s items, production is limited. If a concept proves successful, it may inspire a new regular model, as was the case with the Diamant Nhoma (collection bike 137, 2022).
How does a collection bike differ from regular models?
Collection bikes are distinguished by their striking design – whether through bold colors, special paint finishes, or unique graphics. But they are more than just eye-catchers: each model tells a story. For example, we collaborated with a yoga instructor on the Diamant 137, partnered with an outdoor chef for the 138, and co-designed the 139 with one of Germany’s most successful DJs.
