# Aggressive Motorcycle Concepts The BMW Titan Concept is Aerodynamic and Fiercely Geometrical By Joey Haar | Published 2016-07-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-titan References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/07/19/one-wicked-bmw/) & [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/tag/mehmet-doruk-erdem/) Though only a concept, the [BMW](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-g7-scrambler) [Titan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splach-titan) can turn heads even in composite drawings. The aggressively canted [high-speed motorcycle design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-r-1300-r-roadster), if adapted into a physical vehicle based on designer Mehmet Doruk Erdem's drawings, has the potential to touch the landspeed record for motorcycles: an astonishing 376 miles per hour. The aerodynamics of the design were inspired by a shark's hydrodynamics, with a completely airtight front nose that tapers to expose air intake "gills" along the side of the vehicle. Inside the enclosed cockpit, the instrument cluster is custom-made for expert riders, and includes advanced metrics like suspension status, cooling system operation and area-specific temperatures. Finally, the turbo-powered engine connects to the rear tire via an enclosed swingarm. According to Erdem, this provides "a cleaner look and enhance[d] aerodynamics." The BMW Titan concept shows an independent designer's willingness to approach established brands with radical ideas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Aerodynamic Motorcycle Designs:** Designing motorcycles to be more aerodynamic inspired by non-traditional sources such as shark hydrodynamics could lead to speed improvements and potential new speed records. - **Custom Instrument Clusters for Motorcycles:** Developing customized technical metrics like suspension status, cooling systems, and area-specific temperatures could improve the riding experience for expert riders. - **Enclosed Swingarm Designs for Motorcycles:** Adopting enclosed swingarm designs to connect the engine to the rear tire can improve a motorcycle's aerodynamics, resulting in a cleaner look and potentially better performance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore non-traditional sources such as shark hydrodynamics to improve their motorcycle designs for better performance. - **Custom Motorcycle Accessories Manufacturing:** Custom instrument clusters tailored to expert riders could be developed as an addon for motorcycle manufacturers and enthusiasts alike. - **Automotive Engineering Services:** Engineering services could pitch the idea of enclosed swingarm designs to motorcycle manufacturers to improve aerodynamics and performance of the motorcycles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Concept Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-motorcycle1.md) - [Cantilevered Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-g7-scrambler.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) - [Modular Tech-Rich Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-motorrad-x-nvidia.md) - [Dynamic Precision Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-concept-skytop.md) - [Angular Electric Motorbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cp1-concept.md) - [Shapeshifting Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercycle.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akiraducati-superbike.md)
