About the Collaboration

Raptor ×
Café du Cycliste

This partnership isn’t a logo swap. It’s a meeting of two brands that believe in performance, craft, and giving more back to the rider.

Café du Cycliste makes kit with purpose. We build bikes the same way—engineered for performance, finished with intent, and always rooted in the ride.

Together, we’ve created something that reflects both our worlds: considered, capable, and personal from start to summit.

We build in small numbers, obsess over the details, and work directly with our customers every step of the way.

Built in London, ridden everywhere.

Conquering Giants

Mont Ventoux in Three Ways.

Three ascents of Mont Ventoux. One day.
Distance: 138km | Elevation: 4,440m
Bikes: Raptor SL1(Tris) | Raptor RL1 (Brad)

This wasn’t just a test of legs. It was a reminder of why we ride — and why we started Raptor in the first place. Three ascents. One day. A bunch of riders on bikes we built. That’s what this was about we took on all three routes to the summit in one day — Bédoin, Malaucène and Sault.
