Why Customise?

Even the best motorcycles are built for average conditions. A motorcycle that satisfies most of the people, most of the time, most anywhere in the world; this is a valid business model and offers the best return on investment for the big brands.

Africa however is not average.

Our roads are not average and neither are our distances. Climates vary from desert to jungle. Unlike Europe, we share the road space with donkeys, bicycles, goats, pedestrians, aging trucks, overloaded buses and the odd community meeting. Road surfaces vary from first world to off road tracks. Variables like dust, temperature, humidity, vibrations, fuel quality and scare resources and lack of infrastructure make long distance African motorcycling an extreme lifestyle.

Schlowy Custom motorcycles are built to meet and exceed these challenges and conditions.

Our customisation philosophy

The mindset of founding partners is a motorcycle-blueprint, built to shrug off conditions, environment and distance. Its not about inventing the wheel, merely perfecting it.

In Africa the unexpected is just around the corner. The ability to transcend the unexpected and the bizarre is hardwired into every Schlowy Customs machine. A Schlowy Customs motorcycle is built to stack the odds in favour of the well-prepared adventure motorcycle tourist.

Therefore, the astute African motorcycle tourist matches the conditions with an extreme motorcycle designed not for the average, but for the extreme.
