- Škoda reveals the Slavia B cafe racer idea, impressed by its 1899 motorbike
- Designed by Romain Bucaille, it contains a futuristic electrical design with heritage cues
- First in a sequence reimagining Škoda icons with fashionable styling
Škoda has unveiled a daring reinterpretation of its 1899 Slavia B motorbike, revealing a futuristic cafe racer idea that blends heritage with fashionable design. Developed by French designer Romain Bucaille of Škoda Design, the electrical Slavia B idea pays tribute to the model’s roots in two-wheeled machines from its Laurin & Klement period.
Bucaille’s design preserves the signature form of the unique body, which famously cradled a combustion engine. On this fashionable take, that area is left empty, permitting a floating emblem and a powerful vertical cut up to emphasise its construction. The seat seems suspended, including to the dynamic silhouette, whereas a leather-based software bag nods to the endurance racing legacy of the unique.
Dubbed a “futuristic cafe racer in Fashionable Strong model,” the idea options clear traces, angular edges and a headlight signature that mirrors Škoda’s present design language. From pencil sketches to 3D renders, Bucaille approached the challenge with a automotive designer’s eye, aiming to seize each the aesthetic and spirit of Škoda’s early engineering feats.
The Slavia B idea marks the primary in a brand new sequence of reimagined Škoda icons, mixing previous and future on two wheels.
