El Solitario Prometeo
As the motorcycling world gathers for the largest motorcycle show on the planet, El Solitario, known for pushing the boundaries of two-wheeled culture, unveils a powerful new work of art presenting a future of motorcycling in a world of increasingly oppressive safety regulations, that is simultaneously pushing towards autonomous vehicles and virtual ‘experiences’.
BIPOLAR (:( FIUMANI x EL SOLITARIO
Fiumani has been part of our pack for years and says that El Solitario has been a source of inspiration for him—not just through words, but through action. If you want to dive deeper into his pursuit of freedom, his connection with nature, and his relationship with himself, pay attention to this interview.
Solitario Bomber X Pedro Gomez
El Solitario MC and Pedro Gómez team up once more to reimagine the bomber jacket. This limited-edition piece unites El Solitario’s rebellious edge with Pedro Gómez’s legacy of premium craftsmanship.
NADIE NOS MANDA
Last Saturday, El Solitario was invited to Galicia Design Week. We were there to showcase PROMETEO, our latest creation—a piece we consider our Magnum Opus. But something unexpected happened: we were asked to speak.
We are not speakers. We are designers, builders, creators. Our work speaks for itself. But this was an opportunity to share something more: the philosophy behind what we do. The title of the talk was simple: “NADIE NOS MANDA” (Nobody tell us what to do).
Mediocres-Bendz x El Solitario
Any great connoisseur of the G Wagen and the Mercedes-Benz brand must be frustrated with the path the german auto maker took already a long time ago. More interested in the status symbol of their cars, than what they should be designed for, their north star has long been gone and they seem lost in an uncertain future for privately owned mobility. For someone like us, who used our cars to explore the unexplored, it’s more than just a pose. It’s all about capability, freedom, and pushing boundaries. When brands focus on nouveau riche customers, they diminish the essence of what makes vehicles like the G-Class special to those who revered them for genuine purpose, not just as ostentatious luxury fashion statements. Since the begining of the end.
Hungry Wolf. El Solitario X Nicholas Coleman
My name is Nicholas Coleman, I’m from what used to be the small town of Provo, Utah. Named for the French-Canadian fur trapper Etienne Provost, who wandered into what has become Utah Valley. My father Michael Coleman is an artist as well as myself. I was his little shadow wherever he went. Fishing, hunting, trapping and to a dozen or more of the world’s best art museums.
When Motorcycles Meet Art
Takashi URASHIMA, aka @ein883, is a fire truck driver who draws illustrations in his spare time.
He started making illustrations from photos he took at motorcycle events thinking that illustrations could easily overcome language barriers and share the fun. He was not wrong.
This Japanese artist has been drawing El Solitario for years through his original vision, so we decided to ask him a few questions for this article.
OUTLAWS II, A film by Vincent Prat
“There’s one date of the year that I can’t afford to miss, and that’s in June, around the Summer Solstice, a symbol that’s very dear to me, because it represents renewal, my renewal.
Our Spanish friends have understood this, and without really organizing things, they know perfectly well how to unite us around San Juan. One message is all it takes, and we all arrive from the four corners of the globe, ready for a new adventure. As one of us said, the road is OK, but the track is much more exciting, and I finally understood this on our last crossing of the Iberian Peninsula. Having spent forty years exclusively on the road, I discovered the immense pleasure of enduro riding. Being inside the landscape is very different from watching it go by behind the visor, whatever the bike.
Another story about long-lasting friendship.
The last El Solitario OUTLAWS was a story about long lasting friendships. Paying tribute to the freedom of each individual who took part in this, we decided to give a disposable camera to each of them. The result? A scrapbook more authentic than ever. The beauty of a photograph is the personification of the eye that was looking at the precise instant of the shot.
LAB2V 2023 // YAMAHA MAKE IT HAPPEN
After Thanksgiving, we load our bikes and become desert wolves. Metaphorically (for now) in the form of LA-Barstow-to-Vegas [LAB2V] desert ride in the desert between the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
As for the ride itself: Delightful.
But the task is never without its challenges.
