The Saline Bird Concept is a concept bike designed by five design students – Charles-Edouard Berche, Ugo Spagnolo, Adrien Fuinel, Frederic Dobbelstein and Jean-Philippe Paries – at the ISD of Valenciennes (France) as a design exercise for their 2010-2011 final project. The bike has been designed as a race bike for the “Les Triplettes de Bonneville” and get sits inspiration from the shape of a skier as he flies down the slope. The Saline Bird Concept is powered by a compressed air engine fed by three air tanks with a total capacity of 27 liters. It sits on a carbon fiber frame with leather skin parts in place of the conventional body panels. This leather skin can be slipped on and off “like a sock” in order to switch between body panels or no body panels. The bike can be turned into a road model by replacing the handlebar.
