Although we might associate Italy with the boutique, Germany with the functional, or Taiwan with complex engineering, all these qualities can still be found in brands which are proudly British and compete equally on the world stage.
Here’s 9 of our favourites but be sure to mention your personal favourites in the comments below.

There are so many great British bike brands 🙌 Which are your favourites? 👇
anyone want to take a guess why i wont buy brompton?
Brompton?
Enigma
if we are talking about designed assembled tested in the UK and also using British carbon then ORRO should have been on your list
Halo wheel are king
What about Kinesis, Hope, Fairlight, Genesis, Bowman, Boardman, Enigma, Brompton etc…..
Clearly as the title says, this is about brands and not British manufacturing. I'd rather this type of video qualified the "British" claim with whether theyre actually made here. There seems a huge number of marketing companies branding imported technology and making claims of British design without much real British input. Really, a true British manufacturer is much harder to find and would be more interesting to learn about. I remember asking the guys at hope where their light components came from; only the aluminium casings are made in Barnoldswick. All the gubbins is imported and then assembled at hope… not so bad, but it doesn't really tick Made in Britain for me, unlike their main components. It doesn't change my shopping habits though; I love hunt wheels for example. I just wish these claims were accurate and not spurious, misleading marketing BS.
Where is raleigh?
I associate Italian Bike with good looking, overpriced Chinese bike 🙂
I now have a Brooks Cambium on all my bikes, absolutely love them. Best saddle I’ve had after 55+ years of riding.
Mercian. Pashley. Moulton. Brompton. Bickerton. Dawes. Terry Dolan. Raleigh. Thorn ( St John's Street ).
Brompton!? Design, tested, built, all in the UK
I bought a Dolan recently, decent bike!
Great video, keep up the good work 👍
Made in GB from local materials or imported materials? That's hard to determine
But Brooks is now owned by Selle Royal which is the parent company of Fizik.
Fairlight
Pashley, Temple… so many other British options
Shand Bikes made from "True Temperature??"
Brompton
Bit Brexity
Trykit/Booker hand built/machined trike axles and handbuilt frames, the best quality racing/touring trikes ever
