Italian-based Cardo ambassador Bella Litinetski is competing in the European-wide Petrolettes Wrench-off with Royal Enfield. Cardo Systems specialises in communication and entertainment systems for motorcycle helmets
Four teams across four nations – Italy, Sweden, Germany and Austria – are busy creating custom masterpieces, all of which started life as a Royal Enfield Twin 650. The aim? To create an individual build that embodies their particular expertise and style.
The work-in-progress machines were showcased at the Petrolettes 2019 Festival on 26-28 July in Germany. The finished builds will be revealed at Glemseck 101, Germany (30 August – 1 September) where they will be tested in the sprint races.
Cardo ambassador Bella Litinetski represents Team Italy with her build, Gungnir, named after the mythological spear that belongs to Odin – the mythological god associated with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet.
An automotive, product and graphic designer – as well as a motorcycle blogger and journalist – Litinetski is originally from Israel but moved to Italy in 2011 to pursue her dream of living a life immersed in motorcycle culture.
Her impressive career includes work at the Ducati Design Centre, a thesis in collaboration with Energica as well as contributing to blogs and magazines in Italy, Israel and the US.
“I’m very passionate about bringing more females into motorcycling, as well as bringing those already in it together. A customising project for women is so much needed, and it’s great that Royal Enfield has decided to support female motorcycling and customising culture. I’ve been working with Cardo Systems for a while now and I’d like to thank Cardo Systems for supporting me to take part in this competition. I’m looking forward to racing the bike at Glemseck 101!” said Litinetski.
