Don't let the vulnerable-looking frame deceive you, the bike is to be made from materials used for helicopter windshields and jet canopies. The material is called Trivex, which is a durable polymer that is also lightweight. If it can be trusted on a jet, riders should have peace of mind on this bike. The integrity and features of the material isn't the only noteworthy thing about this modern bike -- the aesthetics are very interesting and eye-catching too. Transparent material makes for a unique style; it's almost as if the rider is juggling the bike parts with magic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Transparent Transportation:** The use of transparent materials in transportation design opens up possibilities for sleek and futuristic vehicles. - **Durable Polymers:** Exploring the use of durable polymers like Trivex in various industries can lead to lighter and more resilient products. - **Aesthetic Innovations:** Incorporating transparent materials in design can create visually striking and attention-grabbing products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** The bicycle industry can explore the use of transparent materials to create innovative and stylish bike designs. - **Aerospace:** The aerospace industry can adopt Trivex and other durable polymers for windshields and canopies, enhancing safety and performance. - **Product Design:** Various industries that involve product design, such as automotive and electronics, can incorporate transparent materials for unique and visually appealing creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transparent Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crdos-ghost-concept-motorcycle.md) - [Bulletproof Transparent Glass Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuclear.md) - [Futuristic Transparent Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rat-race-cafe-racer.md) - [Hubless Airless eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topsecret-ebike.md) - [Futuristic Single-Seater Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-mobility-concept.md) - [Futuristic Concept Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-motorcycle1.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Concept Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydra-bike.md) - [Neo-Minimal E-Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diode.md) - [Dapper Dual-Tone Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-motorrad-ch4-superbike.md)
