Note: word on the street is that this bike will retail for $13,500, with some people claiming closer to $14,500… but I haven’t seen an official MSRP yet. Regardless, you can bet that the price will be somewhere between ridiculously expensive and take-out-a-second-mortgage.

Availability: January 2015.
