Our story

Built by riders, for riders.

Braap started in a two-bay garage in Reno with one blown-up 250 and a stubborn idea: a race bike shouldn't cost a house deposit. Eighteen years later we're still rider-owned, still testing every machine in the dirt before we sell it — just with 50,000 more riders along for the ride.

No dealership markups. No call-center warranty claims. You buy direct, you call the people who built it, and it ships in 72 hours.

Ridden first

Every model is raced by our own crew for a full season before it ever reaches a showroom floor.

Wrenched in-house

Our mechanics design, dyno and dial each machine — no middlemen, no telephone-game support.

Proven at the gate

14 regional titles and counting. The same bikes you buy are the ones on our podium.

Rider-owned

Independent and rider-owned since day one. Our only shareholders are the people who ride.

What the crew says

"The MX450 arrived race-ready. Suspension was already valved for my weight — I podiumed the first weekend I rode it."
