The ARTtBike, which features bright splashes of color, is in line with the artists well-known cosmic art style. It is this style that shot him to fame in the first place as he became the first artist to fetch more then a million dollars for one of his art pieces off the mainstream gallery scene. The reason it is being called the world's most expensive bike is because this visually fascinating piece comes with a steep price tag of $1 million. The previous bicycle who owned the title was created by Damien Hirst, which fetched half a million for charity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Bikes:** There is an opportunity for luxury bike manufacturers to create high-end, visually-appealing bikes for wealthy collectors and enthusiasts. - **Cosmic Art:** There is an opportunity for artists to create cosmic-themed artworks that can be incorporated into various luxury products. - **Expensive Collectibles:** There is an opportunity to create and market expensive and rare collectibles for affluent consumers who value unique and exclusive items. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** The bicycle manufacturing industry can tap into the luxury biking trend by creating high-end bikes with unique designs. - **Art Industry:** The art industry has an opportunity to collaborate with luxury brands to create cosmic-themed products such as bikes and cars. - **Collectibles Market:** The collectibles market can cater to high-end consumers with a taste for unique and exclusive items such as the $1 million 'CosmicStar Cruiser ARTBike'. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-End Titanium Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ccm.md) - [Bespoke Automotive-Branded Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlaverick-aston-martin-1r.md) - [High-End Touring Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-titanium-touring-bicycle.md) - [Customizable Aluminum-Cast Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavy-bikes-hypocrite.md) - [Pride-Celebrating Bike Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-artist-series.md) - [Steampunk-Inspired Motorcycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirk-oehlerking.md) - [Powerful Performance E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-e-cheetah.md) - [Luxury Electric Bike Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-ce-02.md) - [Fat Tire Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magicycle-deer.md)
