An Exclusive Interview with David Saroni
As a journalist, it's not every day you get to sit down with someone whose passion has completely transformed an entire industry. Today, I have the honor of interviewing David Saroni, the mastermind behind one of the most prestigious names in the world of high-end bicycles.
Journalist: David, first of all, thank you for sitting down with us. Can you tell us a little about how your journey with bicycles began? Was there a specific moment when you knew you wanted to create something special?
David Saroni: It's a pleasure. To answer your question, my journey began in my early years. I was always passionate about cycling, but it wasn't just the act of riding that captivated me. It was the idea of pushing the limits of performance and comfort. As I started experimenting with different materials and designs, I realized there was an enormous gap in the market for bikes that combined both cutting-edge technology and personalized craftsmanship. That was the spark that led to the creation of my own brand.
Journalist: So, it was about creating a product that truly matched the rider’s needs, not just offering a one-size-fits-all solution?
David Saroni: Exactly. Every cyclist is unique, and each one deserves a bike that feels like it was made just for them. It's about understanding the rider’s body, style, and preferences, then tailoring the bike to fit those specifics. It's the difference between just riding a bike and becoming one with it.
Journalist: That’s an incredible philosophy. Now, when it comes to the craftsmanship behind your bikes, what sets Saroni bikes apart from others in the market?
David Saroni: The process starts with the materials. I don’t compromise when it comes to selecting the best. Whether it's carbon fiber for a lightweight build or specialized alloys for strength, every material is chosen with care. Then, it’s about the details—the geometry, the handling, the comfort. Every aspect is meticulously designed to deliver not just a bike, but a cycling experience. A Saroni bike doesn’t just look good, it feels extraordinary to ride.
Journalist: It's clear that you’re deeply passionate about your work. How do you balance innovation with tradition in your designs?
David Saroni: That’s an interesting question. On one hand, I rely heavily on the traditional techniques that have been honed over decades. But on the other hand, I’m constantly looking for ways to push boundaries—whether it’s through new materials, technology, or design philosophies. For me, innovation and tradition go hand in hand. It’s about respecting the past while creating something new and exciting for the future.
Journalist: Finally, David, where do you see the future of Saroni bikes heading? Any exciting projects on the horizon?
David Saroni: We’re always looking ahead. We have some very exciting collaborations in the pipeline, and we’re exploring the potential of electric bikes, which has been a growing trend. But we’re also committed to keeping the artisanal aspect of our work intact. The future is about maintaining the balance between tradition and innovation, and I’m excited to see where it will take us.
