About Vyrus

Country of Origin: Italy
Founder: Ascanio Rodorigo
Best Known For: Hub-center–steered exotics (986/987) with radical chassis philosophy

Company History

Vyrus builds rolling thought experiments: featherweight exotics using hub-center steering and skeletal frames that decouple braking forces from suspension travel. The result is startling stability on the brakes and corner-entry composure that feels different from telescopic forks. Each bike is essentially bespoke—component choices, ergonomics, and engine tuning tailored in dialog with the owner. Low volumes and artisanal assembly make them rare, but their influence is outsized: Vyrus keeps alive the idea that front-end architecture is not a solved problem and that feel can be engineered in novel ways.
