Audi has announced that it will collaborate with Renovo
Hardwood Bicycles, the only all-hardwood bike manufacturer in the world, to
create the Duo, an Audi-inflected collection that will incorporate luxury and
performance ability in one stunning vehicle. A reflection of Audi’s ongoing commitment to innovation
and progressive thinking, the Duo is both a showcase of artisanal craftsmanship
and an urban mode of transportation that melds beauty with operational
efficiency and exceptional technology.

The Audi Duo features a monocoque frame made of gleaming hardwood. Aesthetics
aside, the wood frame offers a smooth ride, given its superior ability to absorb
shock and vibration. With the weight per cubic inch of wood being about
one-fourth the weight of aluminum, the Duo is lighter than most bicycle frames,
while offering equal or superior durability and toughness. The Audi Duo is also
recyclable and biodegradable, underscoring the collaborative effort’s
commitment to sustainability.
