Who we are

For 15 years we have taken production motorcycles apart and put back something that should not be possible at this scale.

Ready-made concepts

You do not have to work out which parts to buy to assemble the bike in your head. Each model is a complete, resolved concept — every bracket, every fastener, already solved.

One machine, one owner

Colour, finish, wheel design, carbon pattern. The platform is fixed; almost nothing else is. No two leave the workshop the same.

02

The lineup

Six platforms. No two builds alike.

Each concept is fully resolved — chassis, body and finish developed together rather than bolted on. Choose a platform, then make it yours.

How we do it

Cut from solid, not bent from sheet

We run 5-axis milling for every aluminium and steel component. The machine does not limit the design concept — which is why the fenders, triple clamps and wheel centres look like nothing else on the road.

A fender begins as a billet. It is milled, hand-finished, and married to fibreglass panels that are laid, cut and set by the same people who will bolt them on. There is no production line and no batch — the part is made for the machine it is going on.

We have a real appetite for modern materials and processes: forged carbon, anodised aluminium, air suspension, Öhlins forks, Brembo calipers. Where a better technology exists, it goes in.

In motion

Nothing here is a render

Shot on the floor on an ordinary morning — several machines in build at once, wheels off the rack, panels still going on. This is the room every BOX39 comes out of.

Individual bikes have their own films on each model page.

Made here, ridden here

A Fatbox photographed around Wells one evening in August — cathedral green, coaching inn, palace gatehouse. Nine hundred years of stone and a bike built this year.

Every machine leaves the unit finished, road-legal and photographed before it goes to its owner. The pictures on this page are of bikes that exist, not renders of bikes that might.

Tell us what you want to ride

Every build starts with a conversation about the platform, the finish and how you intend to use it. Lead times and specification are agreed before any metal is cut.
