Bullit Motorcycles Rebrands To Become Bluroc Motorcycles

Having first launched in the UK in 2015 with the now-iconic Hero 125, Bullit Motorcycles has steadily grown, increasing its stable with an array of unique learner-friendly machines. Now, the popular manufacturer is rebranding to Bluroc Motorcycles, marking the future ambition of the global brand and reinforcing links to its recent history.

From October 1st, ‘Bullit Motorcycles’ has become ‘Bluroc Motorcycles’. A name change that helps to reflect the growing ambition of the brand alongside reinforcing its link to its recent history. Bluroc markets affordable motorbikes inspired by iconic models and designs, and the rebrand to Bluroc is not by chance; it is a tribute to the most popular models in its range.

The Bluroc 125cc and 250cc bikes combine vintage looks with modern technology, paving the way for what would become the Bluroc Motorcycles brand. The current Bluroc machines will continue to be part of the collection as the “Bluroc Legend”, the ultimate tribute to these icons.

The new Bluroc brand makes a promise to future riders: You own a Bluroc for the pleasure of riding… with unique style! This commitment will be reaffirmed by a host of upcoming special and limited editions, the ultimate expression of this promise.

Each of the iconic models offers a style that suits adventurers, free spirits and rebels. In addition, the price and learner-friendly capacity will ensure that Bluroc Motorcycles remain very affordable for riders of all ages.

Alongside the rebrand, Bluroc are continuing to open new dealers across the UK, expanding its reach to even more riders. The company is also investing heavily in new showroom materials for dealers alongside launching a new range of merchandise before the end of 2021.

Henry Maplethorpe, Bluroc Motorcycles Brand Manager, added, “Since launching Bullit Motorcycles six years ago in the UK, it has been an incredible journey. The brand has been able to steadily grow, and this new rebranding marks an exciting expansion that cements Bluroc Motorcycles commitment to providing stylish and affordable motorcycles.”

Bullit Motorcycles Cruise Into Summer With All New V-Bob 250

Fresh from launching the retro-inspired Bluroc range earlier this year, Bullit Motorcycles is continuing its expansion by welcoming the all-new cruiser V-Bob 250. The fierce-looking, lightweight V-twin is ideal for those riders looking for the styling of a cruiser without the typical weight associated with them and it is also available to ride on restricted licences.
2020 has already been an exciting year for Bullit Motorcycles, with the manufacturer launching a new 125cc and 250cc range in the form of the classic-styled Bluroc alongside a colour update of the popular Hero 125cc and 50cc machines. The brand is now looking to move into the cruiser market with the launch of the all-new 250cc V-Bob.
Powered by a belt-driven V-twin motor, the new cruiser weighs in at just 179kg wet, making it ideal for those riders not comfortable with a traditional heavyweight cruiser. The nimble machine is also perfect for those city commuters seeking a stylish alternative to the packed trains, buses or underground. The head-turning new model is available in three colours to suit most tastes.
Equipped with an electric start, the five-speed V-Bob features full ABS alongside a forced air cooling system. Bullit Motorcycles has focused on ensuring that the motorcycle is as fuel-efficient as possible, giving riders the ability to enjoy a cost-effective adventure this summer. The V-Bob is also accessible to many newer riders as its 250cc capacity allows riders with a restricted A2 licence to get the full cruiser experience.
The Bullit V-Bob 250 is available in three colours, Satin Grey, Satin Black and Candy Red, and will cost £3,799. The machine will arrive across Bullit’s extensive UK dealer network in late July. For more information, visit https://bullitmotorcycles.com/en.
Henry Maplethorpe, Bullit UK Brand Manager, said, “We are really excited to be welcoming the V-Bob to the already popular Bullit Motorcycles range. This is a completely new styling of machine for us and will help the brand to reach even more riders.
We have focused on making the V-Bob as rideable as possible, which is why we have kept the weight low so that riders of all ages and stature can comfortably cruise around the city or countryside.”

Bullit Motorcycles Continues UK Expansion Ahead of New Model Launch


Bullit Motorcycles has continued its expansion in the UK, appointing Suffolk-based Fastec Racing as its latest dealership. Since launching in the UK in 2015, the classic and custom styles Bullit offer have proven incredibly popular with British riders, with Fastec the 35th dealer in UK. The continued expansion of the network comes ahead of the launch of a new 250cc version of the popular Hero machine, which will be officially unveiled later in the year.
Fans of custom motorcycles or racing will need no introduction to Fastec Racing, with the company forming in 2010 having grown out of Fastec Engineering; a precision engineering company specialising in CNC machining. Renowned for designing and manufacturing high-quality parts for almost every make and model of machine, Fastec Racing products are used by top race teams, custom bike builders and even normal road riders.
With a popular online shop offering clothing, helmets, bolt-on accessories and custom parts, Fastec are expanding further by opening a motorcycle showroom, with Bullit Motorcycles their first manufacturer. This will be the 35th dealer in the UK for Bullit, cementing the popularity of the three 125cc models currently on the market; the Hero, Spirit and Hunt. The growth of its dealer network comes ahead of a brand new Bullit machine being launched later in the year; a 250cc version of the popular Hero model. Alongside increasing its dealer network, this summer Bullit has been working closely with journalists and at events such as The Bike Shed’s Cafe Racer Cup to bring its range of machines to a new audience.
To celebrate the new partnership Fastec Racing will be using their experience and expertise to produce a special one-off custom Bullit Hero, which will be unveiled later this year.
Speaking about the appointment, Henry Maplethorpe Bullit UK Brand Manager said, “We’re very pleased to be welcoming Fastec Racing to our dealer network. We’ve seen first-hand their enthusiasm alongside the stunning machines they build themselves so this feels like a natural fit for both brands. The addition of Fastec also places us in a stronger position ahead of the launch of the 250cc Hero, a machine many people have asked us to build!”
Danny Starmer, M.D. of Fastec Racing added, “When looking into opening our showroom, we thought long and hard about the brands we wanted to work with. The fact that Bullit were considering other models & engine sizes to add to their brand, meant we knew that they were in it for the long haul and could utilise our machining experience too. There are many ideas in place and designing has begun on the Special and we can’t wait for the unveil”
