With everything sloping to a point in the front, the focus on aerodynamics is undeniable. Yet it's easier to focus solely on the look of the BMW Apollo concept since it strays quite radically from [traditional motorcycle models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-r-1300-r-roadster). First of all, the BMW Apollo concept boasts a front wheel that's completely encased in metal, which helps make the entire ride more wind-resistent. Secondly, it rests quite low to the ground, which is also a testament to speed. Designed by Istanbul-based Mehmet Doruk Erdem, the BMW Apollo concept may be a personal project, but it could very well inspire a new model for the renowned auto company. After all, the industry is all about innovation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sloping Motorcycle Concepts:** The sloping design trend in motorcycle concepts offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in aerodynamics and speed. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities in creating streamlined and wind-resistant motorcycles like the BMW Apollo concept. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cantilevered Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-g7-scrambler.md) - [Angular Electric Motorbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cp1-concept.md) - [Futuristic Concept Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-motorcycle1.md) - [Futuristic Motorbike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-braun-motorbike.md) - [Tech-Influenced Racer Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-racer-concept.md) - [Cyberpunk-Inspired Electric Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-motorcycle-concept1.md) - [Steampunk-Inspired Motorcycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirk-oehlerking.md) - [Transparent Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crdos-ghost-concept-motorcycle.md) - [Dynamic Precision Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-concept-skytop.md)
