Arch Motorcycle

It would be simple to dismiss Arch as yet another celebrity vanity project, but co-founder Keanu Reeves has shown since the company was founded in 2011 that his passion is genuine, and the motorcycles he and Gard Hollinger have created are impressive works of American engineering. When Reeves asked Hollinger, an established custom builder, to modify the actor's Harley-Davidson, the company's roots were established. Reeves was so enthused by the construction that he demanded it be put into production for sale to individual customers who shared their aesthetic values. 'A production custom motorcycle you can ride,' Reeves told Hollinger when they were developing the first ARCH model. Design, fit, and finish had to be first-rate, and it had to ride as well as it appeared while retaining as much Americana as possible.

The KRGT-1, the first model, was characterized as an American performance cruiser. It possessed all of the typical characteristics of an American motorcycle, such as a large displacement V-twin engine and cruiser ergonomics, but with the performance and handling of a sports bike. It appears to be an impossible job, but careful design, manufacturing as many parts as possible to their own specifications, and using top-shelf proprietary parts from Öhlins, S&S, BST carbon wheels, and Yoshimura exhausts resulted in a truly unique American motorcycle.

Arch has transcended the fame of its co-owner to become a respected brand in its own right, thanks to elegant and innovative design, precision engineering, and a hand-built process, all while working closely with the client.
