Bennetts Custom Bike Build

Bennetts custom bike

It really is all about the bike as Bennetts has unveiled a stunning custom-built bike which is already being hailed as one of the most impressive pieces of design and engineering the motorbike industry has ever seen. The bike, created by world-renowned bike builder Roger Allmond, will be permanently on show as a centrepiece in the reception area of our Coventry office.

Bennetts commissioned Allmond to create the unique machine in a project that has taken over a year from conception to creation. Harbouring the highest standard of technology and motorcycle materials available, the entirely hand-built bike is set to re-establish the boundaries of motorcycle engineering.

Roger has spent over 2,000 hours working on this dream project and used two Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems – a first for the bike builder. Currently unnamed, the bike has a powerful 2.3l Triumph Rocket 3 engine, nestled amongst aircraft quality aluminium. With the same core and fabrication techniques that would be used in the production of a Formula 1 car, the creation is a beast of a bike.

Mark Fells, Bennetts’ Marketing Director said, “We wanted to build a world class bike which is a talking point in itself, and we chose one of the world’s best builders to complete the project. We were all blown away by the end result - this bike is an amazing piece of engineering which is as impressive technically as it is visually.”

Roger says: “Once Bennetts invited me to design the bike, I put everything I’ve learnt from my years of experience into it. I’ve been committed to designing and building the Bennetts bike for the last year and I believe I have created a piece of motorcycle history, for a company that’s as passionate about motorcycles as I am.”

Although the final design is a closely guarded secret, Roger has confirmed the following features on the bike:

  • Handmade tank and seat
  • Carbon rims with CNC billet Aero spec aluminium spokes and hubs
  • Single sided swing arm
  • Single sided front fork
  • Rear wheels 300mm wide
  • Front wheels 180mm wide
  • Aluminium chassis that will be a combination of CNC’d parts and handmade sheet sections
  • Radiator with core taken from a Formula 1 car with side panels that follow the lines of the chassis
