Plastic Fantastic Clear Frame

One thing is clear about this bike, the frame! The German designed Clarity Bike does indeed evoke the thoughts of “clarity.” While obviously a concept bike, the folks at DesignAffairs could be on to something with this bike, which is constructed of Trivex, a transparent polymer commonly used for aircraft windscreens. If it keeps the wind and bugs out of soldier’s hair it must be good enough for a concept bike.

The result is a lightweight bike frame that can hold up against impacts and even extreme temperatures. As with carbon fiber it could probably result in some aerodynamic shapes that titanium, steel and aluminum can’t deliver, but unlike carbon fiber it could be injection-molded – and more importantly could be recycled if damaged.
