Raptor Bikes - About Us

Raptor began with a simple frustration: too many cyclists spend thousands on a bike that doesn't truly fit them.

Brad, who left a career in the city and turned his lockdown workshop into a space for precision servicing, and Tris, a rider who'd just bought the wrong "dream bike," met in that workshop and asked a question: what if a bike brand actually put the rider first? From that conversation, Raptor was born. We set out to build bikes that don't just look fast — they fit, perform, and last. Every Raptor is tailored to its rider, built in-house with meticulous quality control, and supported by a first-year service promise that keeps you riding at your best.

Brad

Co-founder / The builder

After leaving a career in the city, Brad turned a lockdown workshop into a hub for precision servicing. His mechanical expertise and obsession with detail shaped the foundation of Raptor's build process. If it's not right, it doesn't leave the stand.

Tris

A lifelong sportsman and lockdown cyclist, Tris experienced first-hand the frustration of buying the wrong "dream bike." His drive to create a rider-first brand ensures every Raptor customer gets the experience he once missed.
