Amar Cycles, Handcrafted and Revived Vintage Bikes
Amar bikes are handcrafted bicycles built one at a time in Morocco by architect and designer Jonathan Amar, each one a rolling work of art finished with intricate hand engravings, leather and premium materials. The range splits into Modern and revived Vintage models, so every Amar Cycles frame is a unique, tailored bicycle made to be ridden as much as admired.
Who is behind Amar Cycles?
Amar Cycles is a traditional bike building company located in Morocco. The genius behind the brand is architect and designer Jonathan Amar, one of the first designers to export Moroccan craftsmanship abroad. His multidisciplinary approach to design carries straight into the bicycles, which are completely hand made by Mr. Amar himself, each one an intricate piece of art.
What makes Amar bikes special?
Every Amar bike features unique hand engravings and comes in an extensive range of shapes and forms. The line is separated into Modern and Vintage models, with an appropriate offering for all kinds of riders. The Vintage bikes are truly vintage: they are revived vintage bicycles worked to perfection by Amar. Only the frame is kept, then brand-new components are installed for a modern riding experience despite the aged origins. Each frame is brought back to factory-fresh shape and hand detailed for a unique, tailored bicycle, which is exactly why collectors of revived bikes seek them out. Jonathan Amar's work and Casablanca exhibitions have been profiled by HuffPost Maghreb.
Where can you buy an Amar bike?
Each Amar bike has a unique character, but they share common threads: craftsmanship, leather, incredible materials and hand engravings in the most intricate patterns. The engravings can be found on the handles, seat posts, cranks, handlebars and even the bar ends. If you are looking for a unique bicycle, a work of art ready to be taken for a ride, then Amar Cycles is the perfect choice.
