You’ll be building bikes for our customers while also helping us to develop new ones. That means riding, as well as building and maintaining them, so you get to know and understand our bikes inside out and back to front. This includes putting the bikes under pressure by doing the things our customers do – like pulling wheelies and doing skids. So you can help us figure out how to improve each bike’s performance. With over six million combinations, it’ll take a while for you to have two identical working days.
