Allebikes + Polestar = Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition

Allebikes is a Swedish mountain bike manufacturer based about an hour away from Gothenburg and therefore from Polestar. The result of the collaboration between the bike and car forge is now available as a limited special edition with the name Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition. A real eye-catcher. It looks like the next car manufacturer to get a taste of the bike business or completely - as Porsche did recently.

Especially for Allebike and Polestar, Öhlins has reached into the paint bucket and painted the RXF34 m.2 fork in the same colour as the Polestar brake system.Photo: HerstellerEspecially for Allebike and Polestar, Öhlins has reached into the paint bucket and painted the RXF34 m.2 fork in the same colour as the Polestar brake system.

The Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition is a down-country bike - with radio instead of cables

Even though the bike was co-developed by an e-car manufacturer, it does not require a motor. Nevertheless, they have one thing in common: a focus on the essentials. The no-frills frame with internally routed cables has the same look and feel as the cars: simple and elegant. It's not just the frame that comes from Sweden. The suspension is also built by Swedish manufacturer Öhlins. With 120 millimetre spring travel in the rear and 130 in the front the Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition joins the ranks of down-country bikes. Wireless: The standard Sram Reverb AXS Vario support, which does away with the need for a cable thanks to the use of wireless technology. You have the choice between Shimanos XTR drive and the radio circuit Sram XX1 AXS. This ensures an even cleaner look.

The special bike is available in the matt metallic colours Snow and Space to match the Polestar models.

Special paint colour for the Allebike Alpha: Swedish gold

The Polestar special edition of the Allebike Alpha is available in the two matt metallic colours Snow and Space (matt black). Matching the colour of the cars, the suspension specialists from Öhlins supply a RXF34 m.2 fork and a TTX1R damper in Swedish gold. Unique! The same colour combination as the cars.

The geometry of the Allebike Alpha is moderately balanced

With a slack 65° head angle, a moderate reach of 466 millimetres and 438 millimetre chainstays, the Allebike Alpha is designed to offer downhill safety. The 75 degree steep seat angle helps when climbing, as does the weight of 11.5 kilogrammes (manufacturer's specification).

M/L is the only size in which the Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition is available.Photo: HerstellerM/L is the only size in which the Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition is available.
