# Boxy Futuristic Bikes The Arvak Bicycle by Keim and Breitfuss is Simple and Stream-Lined By Meghan Young | Published 2014-09-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futuristic-bike References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2014/09/30/arvak-bicycle/) & [keim-edition](http://www.keim-edition.com/) Arvak is a futuristic bike that may not be something that would appear in the next 'TRON' movie, but could easily make the rider feel as though they are entering a new age. Granted, a truly futuristic bike might be hovering at that point. Nonetheless, the simple and geometric aesthetic of the Arvak is something many contemporary people will appreciate. Designed by French design studio Keim in collaboration with the Breitfuss workshop, the futuristic bike boasts a hollow monocoque frame that is made out of 24 layers of laminated ash wood and a bio-sourced resin. Fubiz writes, "The orientation of the wood fibers has even been optimized to develop the best quality of the material." Although it has the hefty look of a mountain bike, the futuristic bike looks made for speed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Futuristic Bicycles:** Designing and producing bicycles with a futuristic aesthetic that appeals to contemporary consumers. - **Sustainable Bike Frames:** Using bio-sourced and eco-friendly materials for bike frames, such as laminated ash wood and bio-sourced resin. - **Optimized Material Quality:** Optimizing the orientation of material fibers to enhance the strength and performance of bike frames. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Exploring new design possibilities and materials for manufacturing futuristic bicycles. - **Sustainable Materials:** Developing and using eco-friendly materials for various industries, including bike frame production. - **Material Science:** Conducting research and development to optimize material properties for enhanced product performance and quality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cyberpunk Cityscape Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayra-bike.md) - [Futuristic Concept Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-motorcycle1.md) - [Angular Futuristic Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-crs01.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akiraducati-superbike.md) - [Futuristic Motorbike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-braun-motorbike.md) - [Futuristic Sci-Fi Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hermes-x30.md) - [Futuristic Single-Seater Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-mobility-concept.md) - [Semi-Transparent Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dab-1-transparent-edition.md) - [Futuristic E-Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebike-concept.md)
