Rat Bikes

Mission Statement

Rat Bikes is a new chapter in British framebuilding. After years of creating high-end, one-off steel mountain bikes, we’re shifting gears to make rugged, affordable, batch-built frames in the UK. Rat Bikes is rough around the edges by design — not polished showpieces, but real tools for real riders, made to be thrashed.

We aim to produce cost-effective, British-made bicycle frames using clever engineering to deliver performance without pretension.

We are the go-to brand for riders who care more about the ride than the shine — offering accessible, UK-built frames that compete with overseas pricing without compromising soul or style.

•No Bullshit: We say what we mean and build what we say.

•Made Here: UK-manufactured, supporting local skills and jobs.

•Function First: Clever design, real-world use, fast production.

•Tribal Pride: Being part of Rat Bikes means something.

•Ride Hard, Look Ratty: A bit rough. A bit raw. All in.

•Designed to compete against Taiwanese pricing with local quality.
