Today, a bicycle is considered not only a sports equipment that helps in body shaping, but also affordable, as well as convenient means of transport. On a bicycle you can meet not only children, but also people of mature age, and even serious businessmen. This rating is dedicated to the most expensive bikes in the world.
10. Aston Martin Limited Edition One-77 Factor Cycle
The price is 39 thousand dollars.
The world famous sports car brand has teamed up with Factor Bikes to launch the magnificent One-77 Factor Cycle racing bike.
This model is aimed at elite cycling enthusiasts and collectors. It is complemented by high-tech features and advanced technologies, has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support for entertainment while traveling, a sturdy carbon fiber construction and powerful aerodynamic support.
9. Litespeed Blade
The price is 40.7 thousand dollars.
This bike is recognized not only as one of the most expensive, but also one of the most comfortable and high-speed. This result was achieved thanks to a frame made of titanium and fiber.
The company has released a number of similar models, but this is the most expensive.
8. Chrome Hearts x Cervelo Bike
The price is 60 thousand dollars.
From the name itself, it becomes clear that two companies worked together to create the model: the luxury brand Chrome Hearts, as well as the bicycle company Cervelo.
Manufacturers realized that each model of the Cervеlo P4 TT series would be difficult to put on branded leather, expensive metals and diamonds would be problematic, so they released only a small series of products that were included in the list of the most expensive bicycles in the world. The price of one such transport is 60 thousand dollars, and only super-rich collectors and fitness lovers can afford it.
7. Trek Madone 7-Diamond
The price is 75 thousand dollars.
In 2005, the British company Trek Madone released a model under the name "Seven Diamonds."
The name of the bike made sense, since both the transport itself and the name were created in honor of the 7th victory of Lance Armstrong at the Tour de France. The product quickly left the auction for 75 thousand dollars.
The bike combines a carbon frame and jewelry made of 107 diamonds, with 7 of them forming the number “7”. In front of the frame there is a plate of white and yellow gold, which enhances the gloss and glamor of the bicycle.
6. Aurumania Crystal Edition Gold Bike
The price is 114 thousand dollars.
The French company Aurumania produced its own series of bicycles in ten copies. As a result, not ordinary fashionable bicycles appeared “on the light”, but something very practical and at the same time extravagant, which only a true connoisseur of cycling will appreciate. Each of them looks very vintage and expensive.
Gold bikes are handmade, their leather seats are custom made, and the steering wheel is made as ergonomic as possible. The frame is super smooth, gold-plated and light.
5. Kaws - Trek Madone
The price is 160 thousand dollars.
Trek Madone's Kaws is what you can call the perfect combination of style, comfort and elegance. The model was developed and approved by Lance Armstrong, a famous figure among professional cyclists.
An unusual detail of this sports vehicle is the teeth, which are located not only on wheels, but also on the body. The teeth are nothing more than a painted “chip”, but it was thanks to her that Kaws got into the rating “The most expensive bikes in the world”.
4. Yoshitomo Nara Speed Concept
The price is 200 thousand dollars.
This bike was sold for $ 200,000 at Sotheby’s auction.
A part of its name was given to a racing bike in honor of the designer-creator, who is Nara Yashimoto. He decided to express his creativity in art, depicting images from Japanese cartoons throughout the transport.
A closer look reveals that a bicycle is more than just a beautiful vehicle. It has several advanced features that allow riders to make sharp turns and maneuver in narrow spaces, while maintaining body balance. Lance Armstrong rode this bike in the 18th stage of one of the Tour de France races.
3.24K Gold Men’s Racing Bike
The price is 393 thousand dollars.
Next on our list of the most expensive bikes is the magnificent 24K Gold Racing Bike from Rolls Royce. This handmade gold-plated racing bike is what can be called the epitome of sporty sophistication.
Everything in it - from the steering wheel to the wheels and seats - is plated with 24-carat gold. Goldgenie, a luxury company, has carefully planned every detail of the bike, giving it a stunning look. Its frame shines brighter than the sun, and the rider feels very comfortable thanks to the thin leather seats. Luxury vehicles are also adorned with diamonds and other precious stones.
2. Trek Butterfly Madone
The price is 500 thousand dollars.
Imagine a bicycle that literally gives you wings, even if they cannot lift them into the air. With Trek Butterfly Madone you get exactly that. Its name should be taken literally, which is why the creation of the bike caused outrage from animal welfare groups such as PETA.
It is worth noting several factors of this exhibit, for example:
- the product is presented in a rather glamorous design;
- originally planned to sell vehicles at auction for $ 1.3 million for charity. However, even half a million dollars is considered an extremely expensive bicycle fee. However, in comparison with the cost of the most expensive car in the world, the Trek Butterfly Madone is given, consider it for nothing;
- live butterflies were used to decorate vehicles.
In addition to its bizarre design, the bike also boasts that it was used by famous cyclists, including Lance Armstrong. He was a rider of the Trek Butterfly Madone during the 2009 Tour de France race.
1.24K Gold Extreme Mountain Bike
The price is $ 1 million.
The world's most expensive bike was developed and produced by Hugh Power. Its frame is made of 24-carat pure gold, which turns the bike into a real work of art. And every part of this super-expensive toy is galvanized and certified.
An individual diamond-embroidered logo, chocolate-brown alligator seats are some of the artistic features that complement the extravagance of the design of this two-wheeled golden miracle.
