We have earlier told you about custom carbon fiber bikes to seduce the carbon fiber aficionados including The Sharker, carbon-fiber monocoque motorbike developed by the Gerg Group. The latest in the wonders of carbon fiber motorcycles is the $96,000 Carbon Fiber Renard GT. This luxury bike is conceptualized in order to revive the Renard brand, an old Estonian manufacturer destroyed by bombing in WWII by a group of Estonian entrepreneurs, designers and racing engineers. This carbon fiber prototype was recently unveiled at the Hanover Technology Fair and will go into production next year. The carbon fiber monocoque chassis weighs just 11 kg and incorporates the airbox and fuel tank. The bike is powered by a four-valve Moto Guzzi v-twin engine. The bike seems to have taken its inspiration from Confederate machines but, with the smooth texture of carbon fiber. Both wheels are carbon fiber, while the Grand Tourer’s lightweight aircraft aluminum components are CNC billet. The Renard’s 1200cc engine delivers around 130 horsepower. But in the end it’s all about setting you apart from the crowd while fulfilling your passion for a one-off bike to ride in style.
