MIN.D The Modern Classic.
Cutting edge engineering and the classic bike aesthetic. The MIN.D. combines both.
The joy of riding starts even before the first pedal stroke, as its lightness, sleek appearance and midnight blue sheen with subtle color accents put a smile on your face.
On the bike, you experience a rare mix of performance and comfort. Every gram has a function. Beyond it is nothing, except endless roads unknown.
The MIN.D. (MINimal Design); it exists because it’s the road bike we want to ride.
What’s on Open’s MIN.D.?
Comfort.
Comfort is not about gimmicks or sub–atomic vibration damping graphene–infused nano–particles. It’s about helping you ride further while enjoying it.

Proper fit is paramount for comfort. Min.D. geometry is sportive (you still want to go fast) but with a realistic saddle-to-handlebar drop and reach.
Bad roads are comfort killers through cracks, potholes and vibrations. Space for 30-33mm road tires is the most effective comfort boost while also improving rolling resistance and grip.
Simplicity.
This is the essence of the MIN.D. As Dieter Rams said: “As little design as possible.”*
* Open highly recommends the documentary↗ and the book↗.
This is a pure road bike, and nothing more. Simply because it doesn’t have to be anything else. (and yet many take it on fast gravel and love it, Gerard included).
MIN.D. Frameset
This is a very different OPEN yet it answers the same question: What do we want to ride? While we love pushing the envelope, we also love the classic bike aesthetic. In the MIN.D. both come together.
Options: 1x Only, 2x Electronic or 2x Mechanical
