Something different as we wind down towards the weekend, this from Lexus. Spotted in Tokyo – parked next to the LF-NX Turbo concept at the brand’s stand – was this, a bicycle. Said two-wheeler is the Lexus NXB Concept, which the automaker debuted at the show.
It’s not the company’s first human-powered two-wheeler – the F Sport road bike is that. The NXB (short for Neo Extreme Bike), however, veers off toward an off-road route – it’s a mountain bike, and a sharp-looking one at that, quite literally; you can’t miss those deadly-looking, spear-like handlebar extensions.
Its carbon-fibre reinforced polymer frame has been built by LFA Works, utilising the division’s three-dimensional CF braiding loom, which was previously used to build the CFRP bits for the LFA. Might as well utilise it for something, now that there’s no car to loom bits for, I guess.
Kit on the NXB includes a one-by-eleven SRAM XX1 gearset, a KYB inverted suspension, Xentis Kappa 2 CC carbon-fibre aero wheels and IRC tubeless tyres with a spindle grille tread pattern, keeping in theme with the brand’s new front identity. No word on when it hits the stores, or if ever, for that matter.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
