Lego Enters the Cycling Market with the Launch of Icons Road Bike
File this under: road bike launches we didnt see coming. Lego just introduced the Icons Road Bike (11380). This road bike replica kit is fully functional and meticulously detailed, from the working drivetrain to the removable water bottle and rear light. Its also aero-optimized with deep-section wheels, bladed fork legs, and a modern design that looks kinda like a Colnago Y1Rs, to be honest.There are 1,015 pieces in the Icons Road Bike kit. Thankfully, there are 3D instructions available.The Icons Road Bike is part of Legos Icons collection, which includes a wide variety of Lego kits. From the U.S.S. Enterprise and classic cars to Transformers and the Space Shuttle, Lego Icons appear to be aimed squarely at adults. In fact, they are all intended for users 18 and older. Im in my late 40s, and I havent played with Legos in many years, but I definitely got a little nostalgic surfing around on the Lego website. And now they drop a Lego bike? Take my money!I hope it comes with a pre-waxed chain.The Icon Road Bike frame is made of plastic, of course, and Lego went all in on the details to make it as realistic as possible. That includes front-wheel steering and a functional drivetrain with a freewheel mechanism that allows you to backpedal or let the rear wheel spin on the stand. It has deep-section aero rims, rubber tires with road optimized tread, a derailleur, disc brake calipers and rotors, clipless pedals, shifters, and the aforementioned bottle and rear light.The only thing that really gives away the fact that its not a real road bike is the lack of handlebar tape, or perhaps thats just to save some weight? Oh, its also just 14 tall and 23.5 long.Still, Jordan says it wouldnt last 10 minutes in his house before his youngest kid tried to ride it.No handlebar tape = unrideable.ROAD BIKE MODEL KIT Head out on a creative journey with the LEGO Icons Road Bike (11380) building set, an authentic display model for adults and cycling enthusiastsDETAILED FEATURES AND ACCESSORIES The set has all you need to create a realistic road bike with sporty rims, rubber tires, and a rear wheel-lift stand, plus a removable water bottle and rear lightFULLY FUNCTIONAL DESIGN Avid cyclists can appreciate the functional aspects of the bike model, including a working pedal-and-chain mechanism and smooth front-wheel steeringSPORTS DECOR DISPLAY Mount the bicycle on its stand and turn the pedals to power the rear wheel for a dynamic display in the home or officeGIFT IDEA FOR CYCLISTS Treat yourself or gift a loved one this creative building project for sporty men and women, and fans of road cycling and racing bikesA FUN WAY TO BUILD The LEGO Builder app guides you with 3D instructions that let you zoom, rotate, and track your progress as you construct this detailed modelMORE SETS TO DISCOVER Relax and unwind with the inspiring range of LEGO Icons sets designed specifically for adultsDIMENSIONS When mounted on its stand, the road bike in this 1,015-piece set measures over 14 in.
