A ride beyond perfection
Not everything new is progress. Some things were already right. Festka Classic is not a return. It’s a correction. Thin tubes. Rim brakes. Mechanical logic. A frame that looks familiar and rides with modern certainty. Built in Prague from high-modulus carbon shaped to echo the proportions of steel. Not retro. Restrained. Old soul. New heart.
Why Now
Cycling has never been louder. More screens. More data. Less feel. Classic exists to bring something back. The direct line between rider and road. The rhythm. The silence between inputs. In a world chasing complexity, it chooses clarity. Trends expire. Feeling doesn’t.
The Ride
The frame doesn’t announce itself. It responds. Exceptionally thin carbon tubes, wound dense and precise. Light - around 6 kg in a complete build. And far stiffer than most people expect. Every pedal stroke goes straight forward. No delay. No loss. In every way that matters, it rides like a better steel bike ever did. Lighter. Stiffer. More comfortable. It bends where it should. Nowhere else. You smile on the first ride. You look forward to the next one.
For Whom
For riders who trust their hands more than their screens. For those who still care how a bike feels, not how it ranks. If modern bikes feel impressive but distant Classic is for you. If you’re chasing numbers, it isn’t.
Design & Customisation
Classic can remain bare. Carbon exposed. Nothing hidden. Or it can pass through our Atelier pinstripes, subtle metallic tones, gold applied by brush. Each frame numbered. Each finish intentional. Years later, you can bring it back. We’ll restore it. Because timelessness isn’t a look. It’s a decision.
Craft
Made in Prague. By people who still touch carbon. Filament-wound tubes. Tube-to-tube construction. Every joint shaped by hand until light moves across it cleanly. We use the same Farfalla™ technology as our flagship frames tuned not for spectacle, but for feel. Strength through density. Not mass. This isn’t manufacturing. And it never will be. Built like an instrument. Meant to be played.

Talk to our Prague workshop about geometry, finish, and intent. Each Classic is made to order by people who still believe a bike should feel human. Most people who choose Classic know they won’t need another explanation.
