DJ Black Coffee’s LV bicycle often turns heads online, but is it the most expensive bicycle in South Africa? Thanks to his fat pockets, he lives lavishly and is unapologetic about it, from expensive designer clothes to some of the world’s coveted cars, including a McLaren GT.
The Grammy Award-winning DJ has splurged thousands, if not millions, on some of the finest things the world can offer, including a coveted Louis Vuitton bicycle, which costs as much as three RDP houses in South Africa.
Could this be the most expensive bicycles in the country? Apart from his big wins on the decks, DJ Black Coffee has made a fair share of headlines with his soft life, thanks to his huge social media following.
IS DJ BLACK COFFEE’S LV BICYCLE THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN SA?
Last year, he made headlines when he shared a photo of one of his bicycles on Instagram, an LV bicycle, which is lauded as one of the most expensive bicycles in the world.
Since his initial post in 2025, the DJ has often shared snaps of the bicycle, which attract thousands of comments and reactions.
However, the publication has since connected the dots about the converted bicycle that often thrusts DJ Black Coffee into top trends.
The South African Times has since noted that the bicycle was the first-ever LV bike, a collaboration between the luxury brand and Maison Tamboite Paris.
Surprisingly, the bicycle costs a fortune, and back home, netizens find it puzzling that its price tag can buy three or four RDP houses, depending on location.
The converted bicycle has a price tag of R783 000, but other authorised retailers have listed it for R790 000. No doubt the price tag makes it arguably the most expensive bicycle known in the country.
Most bicycles from established retailers like Makro and Bike Hub range from R1,000 for basic kids’ bikes to over R200,000 for high-end professional racing models, depending heavily on the category, frame material, and components.
WHY IS IT EXPENSIVE?
The bicycle is a Louis Vuitton x Maison Tamboite collaboration, made of hand-polished wood and custom leather.
Black Coffee bought it in Paris during Fashion Week in 2021. Only 100 units were ever made worldwide, and he owns one of them. He rarely rides it – it is displayed in his Durban home as art.
Other expensive bikes in SA, like the S-Works McLaren Tarmac, cost R220,000, which is less than DJ Black Coffee’s LV bike.
HOW MANY RDP HOUSES CAN THE LV BIKE BUY?
Back home, Black Coffee’s bike can get you a standard 2-bedroom RDP house in Gauteng townships like Orange Farm, Daveyton, Winterveldt, and Tsakane, which are listed for sale between R190,000 and R270,000.
With that bicycle’s price tag, you can get a decent house for between R220 000 and R250 000, with extras like a carport, outside rooms, or a cottage.
However, one should note that legal resale of RDPs often requires that 8 years have passed and the paperwork/title deed be in order.
Surprisingly, the bicycle can get you one or two built township houses with 3-4 bedrooms, often self-built or bought from private owners. Houses are usually listed between R350 000 and R700 000, or more, depending on the ‘gap market.’
A LOOK AT THE DJ’S FLASHIEST CARS
After all, the coveted bicycle complements his impressive fleet worth millions. Just like those before him, DJ Black Coffee has splurged a fortune on cars, and some of his flashiest cars include:
• Maserati MC20
• McLaren GT
• Mercedes-Benz G 63
• Bentley Flying Spur
• Mercedes-Benz CLK
FAQ: How much is Black Coffee’s bicycle?
His Louis Vuitton bicycle costs between R580,000 and R783 000 in 2026, making it the most expensive bicycle in South Africa.
