Pininfarina isn't in the strongest financial position at the moment, but the famous Italian design house still knows how to put something beautiful on the road.

If you want to park one of the brand's modern products in your garage but missed out on one of the six Sergios, then its latest two-wheeled creation might be something to consider. Pininfarina is teaming with De Rosa, which makes Italian racing bikes of the pedaling kind, to create the new SK bicycle.

Meant for triathletes and bicycle racers, the minimalist design of the De Rosa SK Pininfarina is paired down to only the most vital elements, and the shape is wind-tunnel tested to reduce drag as much as possible. Weighing just 14.8 pounds, practically the entire bike is made from carbon fiber, including the seat and handlebar stem. A special resin and 3D printing design are used to help maintain stiffness. For those that want to get down the road as quickly as possible under pedal power, the SK is available now.
