Quirk Cycles and Rapha, Ratio Mech, and Ritchey Septimer Break-Away.
Quirk Cycles and Rapha’s founder Simon Mottram
Simon Mottram, Rapha’s founder, has become a lead investor in Quirk Cycles. If you don’t know Quirk, well you should. These are some of the most exquisite bikes, I had the pleasure to see, and Quirk raising £500,000 to scale production and launch new models in early 2026, is super exiting. Mottram praised Quirk’s “authenticity” and craftsmanship, calling it “defining what’s next for boutique performance cycling.”
