TTLBT
The TTLBT, designed by NOVA Design, is a long-distance touring masterpiece centered on the needs of the modern rider. Recognizing the pressures and emotional tension of contemporary life, the design seamlessly integrates functional performance with aesthetic comfort, offering a secure, expansive, and serene cruising experience.
The vehicle’s design language is rooted in the concept of "Topographic Contours," translating Taiwan’s majestic mountains and surrounding seas into a layered, rhythmic texture that evokes a sense of stability and visual trust. Infused with water-ripple patterns, the design subtly incorporates the "Spirit Turtle"—a symbol of longevity, protection, and calm—bridging deep local cultural heritage with a unique, modern spirit.
Transcending geographical and cultural boundaries, the TTLBT redefines the limitless spirit of the next-generation rider. Its exceptional design has been honored with the 2025 Golden Pin Design Award.
The TTLBT is purpose-built for long-distance touring, featuring patented 54L quick-release side cases that accommodate a full-face helmet while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. Integrated multi-functional dual hooks allow riders to easily mount gear, snacks, or GoPros to capture every mile.
For safety and performance, it is equipped with Cornering ABS and TCS to minimize skidding risks. Despite its 254kg stature, a reinforced frame ensures agile handling, making every long-range cruise effortless and secure.
Beyond classic black and white, the CMF (Color, Materials, Finish) team sought a palette that harmonizes with the serenity of mountains and seas. Through extensive research, we analyzed four distinct blue gradients—varying in depth, transparency, and ripple textures—inspired by the natural world.
After a survey of 86 participants to map emotional associations, "Deep Sea Blue" emerged as the definitive choice. This hue captures the shimmering brilliance of the ocean under sunlight while transitioning into a composed, sophisticated tone by night. More than just a color, this blue serves as a symbol of protection for the explorer, acting as a visual bridge between the rider and the vast world they seek to discover.
