WHAT MAKES US RAPID?
RAPID are proud to be Honda's Official Training Partner and the UK’s only Honda Approved Centre. This is a collaboration driven by a shared commitment to excellence, safety, and world-class riding. Together, we're combining decades of motorcycle expertise to set a new benchmark in rider training.
PROFESSIONAL RIDING PEDIGREE
Our coaches include TT racers, British Superbike Championship racers, Endurance racers, Flat Track champions, and police Class 1 qualified riders and instructors, and we run a British Superbike Championship race team.
This unique blend of knowledge and skills feeds directly into our riding and coaching system making it the most effective and holistic training available.
INTUITIVE RIDING
Almost all advanced riding organisations base their syllabus on a system known as IPSGA. This involves a rider, on the approach to every hazard, sequentially considering their Position, Speed, Gear and Acceleration, whilst continuously gathering Information including checking mirrors, using lifesavers, considering signals and much more. Each new hazard requires us to start the process again. You only have to think about how often we approach multiple and often competing hazards to realise how complex and cumbersome this can become.
The RAPID approach reduces complexity dramatically. Rather than treating each hazard individually, we show riders how to intuitively trade off speed and position relative to multiple competing hazards. Simple, effective and quick to learn, this approach leaves the rider free to focus on other aspects of their ride.
MACHINE CONTROL SKILLS
Machine control skills are essential to both safety and performance. Yet there is virtually no machine control content on a traditional, civilian advanced riding course.
Machine control techniques, developed from the cutting edge of riding, form an integral part of all of RAPID road courses and RAPID track courses.
BIKEMASTER, our flagship course, incorporates track coaching into the syllabus to help riders develop a very high level of machine control skill - and it is usually transformational to their performance on the road.
PROFESSIONAL COACHING
RAPID coaches are highly trained professionals who are passionate about helping riders make the most progress possible in the shortest space of time.
With 25 years experience coaching riders from BSB racers right through to road novices, we know how to get the very best from riders. We focus on developing the skills and knowledge that we have proven make a rider great. No-nonsense coaching from professionals getting you the results you want quickly.
