Manchester Motorcycle company races towards history with a record-breaking machine

In a market dominated by mass production, one boutique motorcycle brand is breaking the mould.

Langen Motorcycles, based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, has emerged as a powerhouse of innovation, blending cutting-edge engineering with timeless craftsmanship. With a reputation for creating breathtaking, high-performance machines, Langen is setting new standards in the world of bespoke motorcycling.

One of Langen’s most exciting developments is the upcoming Turbo variant of the Lightspeed—a high-octane masterpiece that could become the fastest bike they have ever produced.

With a targeted power output of up to 300bhp, this ultra-exclusive model is set to redefine what’s possible in the world of motorcycling.

As a boutique manufacturer with a bold vision, Langen is proving that British craftsmanship and innovation still have a firm place in the global motorcycle industry.

Founded on the principles of precision, artistry, and individuality, Langen first captured the world’s attention with the Two Stroke—an exquisitely handcrafted machine that blends nostalgia with cutting-edge technology.

Now, with demand for their motorcycles soaring and a growing community of passionate riders, Langen is gearing up for its next big step: the launch of the Lightspeed.

Despite navigating economic challenges and an evolving market, Langen Motorcycles has not only survived but thrived. Their debut model, the Two Stroke, has been a resounding success, with over 80% of the limited production slots already reserved.

This achievement has propelled Langen to new heights, with total revenue from the model reaching an impressive £2.7 million.

With a commitment to keeping the spirit of British motorcycling alive, Langen is now preparing to introduce the Lightspeed—a high-performance marvel designed to capture the imagination of riders worldwide. This next-generation motorcycle is a symbol of Langen’s ambition to redefine speed, style, and engineering excellence.

Proudly made in Greater Manchester

What sets Langen apart is not just their passion for motorcycles but their strategic vision. Based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, the company is expanding its reach beyond the UK, aiming to bring its exceptional machines to Europe, the U.S., Australasia, and the Middle East. With a combined market value of over £200 billion and a projected growth rate of 9%, the opportunities are boundless.

Investing in the dream

To fuel their expansion and bring these extraordinary motorcycles to a global audience, Langen has opened its doors to investors. For enthusiasts and supporters, this isn’t just a financial opportunity—it’s a chance to be part of history.

With the launch of a crowdfunding campaign on March 4th, motorcycle lovers now have the chance to own a piece of the Langen legacy and support the revival of British motorcycling at its finest.

Founder Christofer Ratcliffe reflects on the journey: ““Since founding the company and developing our first model we have navigated through unexpected and significant political and economic challenges. With each challenge the business and team continued to grow in line with the demand for our bikes. At times this meant slowing production due to supply chain challenges, moving marketing to online in the absence of live events and growing our automotive engineering consultancy business to enable future model development under our own steam.

“I have an enormous sense of pride that the business and brand has been forged in fire and not only endured but grown to where we are today. It is testament to our philosophy, our business model, the relentless and talented team, and of course the unique and special bikes we produce.

“We have now entered a significant milestone year where we are ready to move the company to the next stage. The next step up for Langen means increasing production with our second model – The Lightspeed – along with entering new markets outside of the UK. The fastest and most reliable way
to do this is by investing into more complex production tooling, achieving full Type Approval allowing us to access markets where there is currently a high demand for our bikes that we cannot yet fulfil due to legislation requirements.

“We have spent the last 18 months preparing for this stage so that we are ready to go at full throttle alongside an investment injection. It had been a dream of mine for many years to invest into a British motorcycle company, to feel a sense of ownership of something I am incredibly passionate
about, which eventually resulted in the creation Langen Motorcycles. It is this sentiment that has led to us opening up the opportunity for everybody who is passionate about motorcycles to become a Langen share holder and, not only a part of our journey and growth, but a part of Motorcycle
history.”

As Langen accelerates towards a bright future, one thing is clear: this is more than just a business—it’s a movement. With a foundation built on heritage, innovation, and sheer determination, Langen Motorcycles is proving that British engineering is alive and well, and the best is yet to come—proudly from the heart of Greater Manchester.
