In our paint shop in Beringen, we bring together craftsmanship and precision. Our latest innovation in paint is “Strata”: a handcrafted technique based on a refined dabbing process. With Strata, every bike gains a distinct and personal character.

By building up layers of paint, subtle colour transitions emerge, allowing tones to blend seamlessly into one another. The result is a rich finish with a clear sense of visual depth. As they are handcrafted, no two bikes are exactly the same: every Strata bike is unique.
Built by hand
The process starts with a carefully prepared frame. The paint is then applied manually, with every movement contributing to the final result. Small variations in rhythm and pressure create a texture that can never be fully controlled — and is therefore inherently unique.
Depth that keeps revealing itself
By building up multiple layers, the finish develops its characteristic Strata look. The result is a bike that changes with the light and offers a different impression from every angle — a finish that you don’t just see, but continue to discover.

Five finishes available on four bikes

Strata is available on a selection of high-end models, including the Astr RS, Noah Fast, Grifn RS and Triton Fast, with further expansions planned in the future. A carefully selected palette of Green, Red, Blue, Gold and Silver forms the foundation of this finish, with the layered technique adding depth and nuance to each colour. The interplay of light and texture ensures the appearance subtly shifts depending on the viewing angle, without ever becoming overpowering.

Hugo (72) climbs like a young mountain goat thanks to the E-Noah: “I often still have three bars of battery left”

In the beautiful Maasland region, between the whisper boats and Konik horses, Hugo Meus (72) feels at home. He truly relaxes on his brand-new E-Noah in candy red, our first aero e-road bike. Hugo rides most of his kilometers under his own power, but on the toughest sections he gets support from his TQ motor. “At my age, you have to be realistic and embrace technology. I’m not afraid of putting in an effort, but I also allow myself that extra bit of power sometimes,” he explains.

At the beginning of October, the moment finally arrived: author and writer Tom Ysewijn, actor Titus De Voogdt, and podcast creator Jeroen Franssens stood at the starting line of their unforgettable route. Their adventures can now be heard in the podcast ‘Nowak’.
