A Van Eddy Mercx Would Have Rocked

What do get when you cross the Giro d’Italia and a 4WD Sprinter Van?

The answer is Nomad Vanz’ Cima Coppi. Named after the highest peak in the Giro d’Italia Grand Tour, this epic build lives up to the title. Featuring a nod to Porsche acid green accents, world-class ROAMBUILT outfitting, and a full bike shop out back, it’s the perfect ride for someone who loves four-wheeled luxury and human-powered two-wheel travel too.

Starting with a solid base, the Cima Coppi is built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VS30 144WB HR 4×4 2500. The exterior features a ROAMBUILT rack and ladder, and a ROAMBUILT skid plate. Agile Offroad supplied the RIP Suspension with FOX shocks and Evo Corse wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich KO2s.

The interior of the Cima Coppi is well-thought out and makes effective use of the small wheel base Sprinter. In it you’ll find a galley kitchen with appliances, ample storage, air conditioning and a Webasto heater, a swing out teak table top, and a comfy raised bed. Perfect for hanging out after a hard day of riding.

Out the back of the van, you’ll have access to another huge storage area – large enough to bring along all your riding gear and bikes as well as a full bike repair station, so you can tune up your ride between putting the hammer down.
