Legend: Mike Burrows - Design Maverick

Overview

Bike designer, Mike Burrows, has spent more than 40 years driving forward the evolution of bike design. From his pioneering carbon monocoque frame design in the early 80s, which paved the way for the Lotus 108, to his work on the Giant TCR with its revolutionary sloping top tube, his innovations have changed the face of the modern road bike. Some of his bikes are as famous as the athletes who rode them, and some were banned because they didn’t look like bikes at all. This controversial maverick is one of most influential bike designers of the past half century.
