Metisse Bikes, born in 1959 and formed by the Rickman brothers, crafts genuine scramblers and desert sled frames with a British twist. These masterpieces have graced the winner’s circle and captured the endorsement of legendary Steve McQueen, who dubbed it “the perfect dealing with bike I’ve ever owned.” Now, in a tribute to McQueen’s motoring legacy, Metisse has teamed up together with his son, Chad McQueen, to create a restricted version Metisse Mk3 duplicate. This desert racer is a meticulously detailed homage to Steve’s beloved journey, that includes a hand-built, brazed chassis, spoked wheels, Ceriani forks, and a 650cc Triumph TR6 engine.
Metisse leaves no element unturned, emulating McQueen’s bike right down to the high-mount chrome exhaust pipes and Battleship Gray livery. The two.11-gallon tank even bears the actor’s approved signature. For the discerning rider, a two-up seating choice and a Street Pack to make it street-legal can be found. Restricted to only 300 models globally, the Metisse Bikes Steve McQueen Desert Racer is a collector’s dream come true. Pricing is accessible upon request, so don’t miss your likelihood to personal a bit of McQueen’s cool, completely replicated by Metisse Bikes.
