Kirian Mirabet’s spectacular Megamo Silk “Africa Twin”

The professional enduro rider Kirian Mirabet is also a great cycling enthusiast, a discipline he regularly practices both for training and competition. In fact, he has already participated in a demanding event like the Cape Epic, where he debuted a customized Megamo Track for the occasion. Now he surprises again with an exclusive bicycle, but this time it is a unique gravel bike.

A Megamo Silk in the colors of the Honda Africa Twin

Kirian Mirabet's new bike is a customized Megamo Silk with the aesthetics of the legendary Honda Africa Twin. A motorcycle that was born directly in the Paris-Dakar of the 80s and whose color combination has become one of the most recognizable in the world of motorcycling.

Mirabet himself acknowledges that this Honda "has stolen his heart" and wanted to transfer its image to his new Megamo Silk, which debuted the 2027 range a few weeks ago.

The customization work has been carried out by the Edit Velo Girona studio, which has transformed the frame with a white base and red and blue details. The fork also features the number 38, while one of the most striking elements is the Zipp 303 XPLR SW wheels finished in gold, thus reproducing the characteristic color of the Africa Twin's rims.

This Megamo Silk "Africa Twin" is based on the Super Light Race frame, the lightest in the Silk family, and is equipped with the complete SRAM RED XPLR group, accompanied by a CeramicSpeed pulley box.

The result is a unique gravel bike that combines some of the most exclusive components of the discipline with a decoration directly inspired by the world of motorcycling.

For now, we do not know if Mirabet will use this Megamo Silk in competition or if he will reserve it for his training and gravel outings. What is clear is that its design will not go unnoticed and there will surely be more than one enthusiast who would like to have one just like it.
