Pirelli x Tecnorib 1900 Yacht Brings the Best in Tires and Boating Together

By Geoff Nudelman Jan 21, 2022 5:04 AM

Pirelli is known for some of the world’s best car tires. Tecnorib is an Italian boat manufacturer known for creative sport craft that glides along the water.

While the two have collaborated before, the 1900 Yacht may be their best yet. At 61 feet long and just over 16 feet wide, the 1900 remains true to the sporty nature of the Italian brand, while adding the comfort and durability of an inflatable tube made from real Pirelli tire tread.

The 1900 Yacht features a carbon-fiber roof and twin 800hp engines, reaching cruising speeds of 30 knots and can go a maximum of 45 knots in good conditions. The boat also carries some creature comforts including two cabins, two bathrooms and a living area.

The boat is part of Pirelli’s Design Project, which carries from prior collaborations with Tecnorib. Two years ago, the pair created the 1400, which was a smaller craft (one bedroom, integrated kitchen area), but had a handsome oak interior and white fiberglass throughout. Each collaboration is sleek, European and definitely a unique look on the water.

The 1900 lies somewhere between daytime cruiser and overnight offshore luxury camper. It’s sure to be a hit when it debuts this fall at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Plug In, Ride Out: KTM’s Freeride E Gets Sharper for 2027

2027 KTM Freeride E

Austrian motorcycle company KTM’s dirt bikes have a reputation for ripping horsepower and world-title-winning performance. Across the world’s motocross tracks and enduro courses, the brand’s orange bikes win titles and provide the thrill of riding off-road. But for the most part, those bikes use 2-stroke and 4-stroke combustion engines.

Now, looking toward the future, the organization’s latest electric off-roader, the 2027 Freeride E, optimizes power, handling, and range, with a variety of improvements over prior versions. Here’s the rundown on the bike’s improved specs.

Stewart Golf Q Follow Review: The Electric Caddie You’ll Never Want to Leave at Home

Clothing, Footwear, Shoe

I was skeptical about the Stewart Golf Q Follow, but probably not for the reason you’d expect. I already understood the appeal of an electric caddie. What I wasn’t convinced of was whether I could actually live with one.

My sports sedan isn’t exactly a cargo van, and my golf bag already has permanent residency in the trunk. The last thing I wanted was another piece of golf gear that required a game of Tetris every time I headed to the course.

How the Baseus PicoGo series is making travel charging less of a hassle

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Every traveller has an everyday carry, even if they don’t think of it that way. A smartphone is a given. Earbuds are almost always close by. Many people also carry a smartwatch, a tablet, a handheld gaming console or a lightweight laptop, depending on where the day takes them. The common thread isn’t the devices themselves but the expectation that they’ll always be ready when they’re needed.

Baseus believes portable charging should be just as effortless to carry as the devices people rely on every day. The PicoGo Series brings that idea to life with two products that complement each other. PicoGo Air leads the lineup with an ultra-thin, lightweight design for everyday smartphone charging, while PicoGo AM52 expands the experience with higher capacity, a built-in cable and multi-device charging for longer journeys. Together, they create a complete charging solution for travellers, outdoor enthusiasts and digital nomads.
