For many cyclists, the standard Birdy models will already represent some of the highest-performing folding bikes they'll ever encounter. But what about the most seasoned, experienced cyclists who are looking for the absolute pinnacle of performance? That's where our Birdy JK11 series comes in: an exclusive customised collaboration between Mighty Velo and Joseph Kuosac.
Each of the JK11 models has been outfitted with top-of-the-line components in order to maximise performance, handling, comfort and reliability. Each model features a different set of custom components, depending on their intended purpose and specialty. However, each model has several traits in common. Firstly, they share the trademark Gen 3 monocoque Birdy frame, which is sleek, lightweight, and rigid. They also feature full front & rear suspension like other Birdy bikes.
Finally, each JK11 model has been installed with a Joseph Kuosac C38C carbon wheelset, which are stiffer, lighter, and more aerodynamic than the aluminium wheelsets of other Birdy models, as well as Juin-Tech 4-piston disc brakes for smooth, responsive and powerful stopping power!
Check out the 4 unique JK11 models below:
The JK11 Gravel can tackle almost any terrain in style, from roads to pavements to light off-road trails. Its wide, grippy Schwalbe Billy Bonkers tyres easily navigate uneven terrain, while its Brooks Cambium rubber grips are responsive and comfortable to use. Its 48T front chainring also mimics the gear ratios of full-sized gravel bikes.
Designed to speed down roads even faster than the Birdy R20, the JK11 Road utilize a Shimano Ultegra derailleur for quick and effortless gear shifting, as well as Crankbrothers pedals for efficient energy transfer. Unleash the need for speed!
Discover unparalled performance and comfort with the JK11 Ace, which has been outfitted with the absolute best components on the market: a Shimano Dura-Ace derailleur for silky-smooth and ultra-responsive shifting, Ergo GP2 grips, and a SMC Sport gel saddle to ride in comfort and style.
The JK11 Dropbar is a folding bike that rides and feels just like a road bike, with Shimano Pro Dropbar handles that allow you to change your riding position on the go. Find what works best for you in order to enjoy the swiftest, most aerodynamic and comfortable ride!

Mighty Velo is constantly innovating and researching new colours in order to give you the broadest palette of amazing and trendy frame colours. Just like how the fashion industry makes and distributes its own selections, we strive to stay abreast of and trailblaze aesthetic trends.
We are proud to present three exclusive Birdy frame colours, creatively imagined and developed in a special Birdy x Interpon collaboration. In 2021, the Limited Edition Birdy P40 first appeared with Interpon D2525 architectural powder coating made by AkzoNobel.
AkzoNobel is the largest powder coatings company, headquartered in the Netherlands, that supplies to key markets such as Automotive, Architectural, General Industrial, Appliance and Furniture markets.
The brand, Interpon D, is AkzoNobel’s global product range in the Architectural market that offers a complete range of premium grade architectural powder coatings meeting all major international architectural standards and specifications.
Now imagine that our Birdy range of models, including the Birdy New Classic and our Birdy Gen 3 models, use the Interpon D2525 series of ultra durable powder coatings developed and made in Europe. This series has been used in coating solutions for the most prestigious building projects in the world for the past 15 years.
Providing excellent levels of weather resistance, the Interpon D2525 coating series offers significantly higher gloss retention and resistance to colour change. AkzoNobel is also the first major powder coatings manufacturer to achieve a third-party certified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its coatings.
An EPD includes a life-cycle analysis of the raw materials used in the product, manufacture of the product itself, shipping to the customer, and application.
We have chosen three colours in the Interpon Collection Futura Series because this highly durable premium powder coating has special metallic effects and excellent weathering resistance compared to standard durability products. The aesthetics of your Birdy bike will thus last longer.
