The highly requested special black color has been named SOY BLACK, embodying the spirit of local Wakayama.
Wakayama is home to Yuasa Soy Sauce, with over 500 years of history. Soy sauce slowly matures in barrels over time. During this process, a deep, rich, and profound jet-black color is born. It slowly deepens its color over many seasons. This texture and accumulation of time create the black of Yuasa Soy Sauce.
SOY BLACK reflects this tradition and spirituality of Wakayama onto its glossy body. A deep black that shines when it catches the light. A color that makes you feel the weight of Wakayama's time every time you see it.
It's not just black; it's a single unit imbued with history and tradition. That is the "Electric Cycle NFR-01 Lite SOY BLACK."
Only 50 units are available nationwide, with pre-orders starting from 10:00 AM on Thursday, April 30, exclusively on the glafit official online shop.
