# Lightweight 3D-Printed Bikes The 'Furia' Concept Bicycle Incorporates a Carbon Fiber Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-01-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furia-concept-bicycle References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/article/furia-concept-bicycle/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/61164343/Furia-Hub-Center-Steering-Concept-Bicycle) [Cycling in urban areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimble-urban-ebikes) around the world has become one of the best ways for consumers to get around that is both eco-friendly and healthy, so we're seeing a new focus on bike design like with the 'Furia' Concept Bicycle. Conceptually designed by Francesco Manocchio, the bike looks inherently futuristic and is achieved by utilizing a [lightweight carbon fiber composite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini) along with [3D-printed materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personomic-saddle). This creates a piece of equipment that is ideal for those who are looking for a bike that is stylish, aerodynamic and made for achieving top speeds with ease. The 'Furia' Concept Bicycle is the winner of the Eccellenze del Design nel Lazio prize and identifies what can be done to make bikes ready for a more prominent space on our city streets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Lightweight 3d-printed Bikes:** Incorporating 3D printing and carbon fiber composites to achieve high-performance and stylish bicycles. - **Urban Cycling Design:** Emphasis on designing bicycles for urban environments to increase their use and promote eco-friendly transportation solutions. - **Futuristic Bicycle Design:** Conceptualizing the future of bike design to create unique, high-performance and awe-inspiring bicycles. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Incorporating 3D printing and carbon fiber composites to revolutionize the manufacturing process and produce high-performance bikes. - **Urban Transportation:** Collaborating with bicycle manufacturers to design urban bikes and creating effective solutions to promote their use in cities. - **Sporting Goods:** Exploring the intersection of high-performance sports equipment and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies to design the next generation of sporting goods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Carbon Fiber Urban eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbonfiber-urban-ebikes.md) - [Futuristic Single-Seater Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-mobility-concept.md) - [Cyberpunk Cityscape Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayra-bike.md) - [Connected Agile Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urtopia-carbon-one.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight Road Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-cfr-di2.md) - [Sleekly Assistive Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-fixie.md) - [Carbon Fiber Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-mountain-bike.md) - [3D-Printed Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hv001-hybrid-sports-car.md) - [Revised Carbon E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urtopia-carbon-1s.md)
