Made for one rider at a time.

The Lightspeed
Why we exist

We don't believe a motorcycle can be made for more than one person. So we don't try.

01The idea

It begins with the rider, not the bike.

Each Langen starts with the person who will ride it: height, reach, how and where they ride. Position, geometry and suspension are set to them. Then paint, finishes and the machined details are chosen with the engineers who will make them. The bike that leaves Wigan fits one person, and it is theirs in every sense.

02The people

One workshop. You will know their names.

Engineers and designers who came from CCM, Triumph, BAC, McLaren and M-Sport to build the motorcycles the big factories can't. There is no dealer in between: the person who welds your chassis is the person who answers the phone when you call about it.

Everything on a Langen is there because it has to be. Nothing is there because the brochure needed it.
03The ride

Light enough to feel. Fast enough to matter.

A Langen weighs what a motorcycle weighed before motorcycles got heavy. The Two Stroke is 120 kg; the Lightspeed, with 185 horsepower, is 185. That is not a specification so much as a point of view: that the pleasure of riding is in how a bike moves beneath you, not in what it does on paper.

“…the benchmark handling of its sweet-steering chassis. Langen Motorcycles’ debut model has hit the bullseye.”

Begin a conversation

Every Langen starts with a conversation, usually with Christofer. Tell us where you are and what you have in mind – a colour, a fit, a road you want it for – and we will come back to you personally.
