XOOWMAGAZINE34 P23 #xoowmotor ROCKET SUPREME







Our Philisophy: At Rocket Supreme we design and build bespoke motorcycles, and we challenge ourselves each time to create a machine every bit as good as the one in your imagination. Each bespoke motorcycle is handmade to your specification by our team of experienced and award winning design and creation specialists. Inspired by your vision and our passion, we believe, first and foremost, in quality and attention to detail. Rocket Supreme motorcycles are uniquely developed and custom made from carbon fibre: a preferred material in aerospace and motorsports due to its high tensile strength, low weight and high chemical resistance. You choose the style of motorcycle café racer, scrambler, street tracker, whatever you like we want to work with it - and we will create a custom classic that’s all yours. Whether that’s a modern twist on an old standard, a retro style on a modern motorcycle or just a crazy idea you had once. Know exactly what you want? You can choose the origin and age of your donor motorcycle and tell us exactly how much boost you require! You can even bring us your own motorcycle. Not sure what you want? Share with us your style and vision and we can advise you on the most suitable donor motorcycle to match . We also have two in-house designs – the Big Joe I and the Little Joe II that can be customised to your specification. At Rocket Supreme we have… 40 years experience of building and customising motorcycles. 30 years design experience. And more than 60 years of loving and riding motorcycles. Real passion, real riders, real craftsmanship. Supreme Crew: Amalio Martinez_The Captain of the Supreme crew has been building custom motorcycles and cars for more than 20 years. A multi-trophy winner (for customisation and innovative design) and former head of the first “custom school” in Spain. Uncountable motorcycles and cars have been through his hands! When Amalio is not in the Rocket Supreme workshop, you’ll find him on one of his cross/supermotard motorcycles in the surrounding mountains or tracks of Barcelona. Marc Planas_Designer, philosopher and the creative source of the team. Marc had his first motorbike at age 3 and by 17 was managing his own scooter racing team for the state national competition: achieving 2nd position in the championship. As he has dedicated most of his 10 years of design experience to 4 wheels, his passion for 2 wheel design is such a burning desire that he needs to be tamed at times. Chris Reitz_Fully dedicated to his spiritual life, Chris is the heart that gives life to Rocket Supreme. On occasion he works in his real profession of car design. Chris is a former design director of a very well known Italian car manufacturer. The team feel privileged that he’s chosen to spend his “spare time” at Rocket Supreme… and plan to keep him a long time! Javi Ramos_One of Amalio’s first students and the backbone of the workshop. His passion, dedication and love for action of any kind make him to the perfect base crew for welding, sanding and working with resins & fibres. Apart from enjoying life with his wife and newborn son, Javier’s affection for all things noisy stretches beyond engines and babies to include a love of ultra loud music which he shares with everyone in the shop! Jaume Puig_Soul maker, Jaume, is in charge of all mechanics and mechanical upgrades. He has been involved with motorcycle competitions for more than 10 years. His highest achievement was to help win the Catalan championship with Moto2 and MotoGp pilots Pol Espargaro and Marc Marquez. Multidisciplinary minded, without doubt he will ensure your machine sounds cool and drives as smooth and fast as possible. The Rockets: Big Joe I_was the capsule used in the first full-scale flight operation associated with Project Mercury in Cape Canaveral, Florida 1959. The innovative design and methods for using new materials learned from Big Joe I were incorporated in a number of major redesign decisions for future missions. The Big Joe I motorcycle is our in-house designed double seater. Little Joe II_was an American space launch vehicle, the first of its kind capable of handling the large Apollo rockets. The Little Joe tests were a giant leap for rocket science and paved the way for the great moon landing. Little Joe II was also used in the Apollo program to propel test pilot “Monkey Sam” into orbit. The Little Joe II motorcycle is our in-house designed mono. Creating your bespoke Rocket Supreme motorcycle: All Rocket Supreme motorcycles are individually hand built and assembled to your specification. All body parts, including fuel tanks, are custom made out of carbon fibre, then finished and painted to your individual taste.
