The collaboration between the Portland, Oregon, two-wheeler manufacturer and the car company unveils a collection of slick street-ready rides. Ditching the motor for man power has many lifestyle and environmental benefits, and this [luxury frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ponomarets-eidolon) makes it look good too. Three models, including the duoRoad, the duoCity and the duoSport, give each bike an elegant edge, affording the rider a conveyance that's 75% lighter than its aluminum cousins. Promising a body as unbreakable as if it were metal, the partnering makers promote this two-wheeler for its polished look and its superior ability to absorb the shock of bumpy cycling. Made of a similar material to the [wooden interiors of automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwoody-bicycle-caravan), these Audi Renovo Duo bicycles are dignified alternatives to driving. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wooden Bicycles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and stylish wooden frames for bicycles. - **Luxury Cycling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design high-end bicycles with elegant aesthetics and advanced shock absorption technology. - **Environmental Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create eco-friendly transportation options like lightweight bikes for urban commuting. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate new materials and advanced technologies into bicycle design and production. - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with bicycle manufacturers to develop luxury bikes that reflect the brand's design language. - **Sustainable Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of renewable materials in various industries, including transportation and consumer goods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automotive Brand Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-smart-spinning-bike.md) - [Elevated Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-electric-mountain-bike.md) - [Handcrafted Off-Road Timber Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravel-wood-bike.md) - [Desert Race Car-Inspired Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-emtb.md) - [Lightweight Plywood Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electraply-ebike.md) - [Naturalistic Plant-Based Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astan-bike.md) - [Bespoke Automotive-Branded Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlaverick-aston-martin-1r.md) - [Designer Manual Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t-bike.md) - [Vintage Car-Inspired Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaic-gt2x-radavist.md)
