Simon Mottram

Simon launched Rapha in 2004 in response to the lack of high quality clothing and creative brands available to road cyclists at the time. Before founding Rapha, Simon spent fifteen years as a branding and marketing consultant, advising leading brands all over the world. He is also a qualified chartered accountant.

FAVOURITE RIDE:

Of all the places he has ridden, Mont Ventoux in Provence is still Simon’s favourite cycling destination: “a beautiful mountain in my favourite part of the world – it has everything: racing history, culture, beauty and it’s a tough climb that I never seem to conquer completely.”

FAVOURITE BIKE:

Explorateur steel travel bike. “It gives me uncompromising riding performance wherever I travel in the world.”
