Element Skateboards and Pelago Bicycles just collaborated on the launch of a new commuter/upright tourer, the Silvo, that features a bold paint job and several practical touches. They also released an apparel collection and a lovely short video showing the Silvo in action on a week of pedaling and skateboarding around Finland. See it all here…

As part of a new capsule collection, Element Skateboards from California and Pelago Bicycles from Finland just released the Silvo, an all-new commuter/upright tourer that looks equal parts practical and fun.

The Silvo is made from TIG-welded 4130 chromoly steel and features an eye-popping “camo” paint job and a somewhat unexpected mix of parts, including bullmoose handlebars, a sturdy Commuter Front Rack, a 1×10 Microshift Advent drivetrain, 700 x 45mm WTB Riddler tires, and a double kickstand. It’s available in small (52cm), medium (56cm), and large (60cm) sizes to suit a broad range of riders and is priced at €1,495 ($1,625). It’s unclear how many frames were produced for this collection, but we think numbers are very limited.
