Keanu Reeves on Building ARCH Motorcycles, Racing, & Life Beyond The Matrix

ARCH Motorcycle is a sponsor-funded, low-volume premium brand using racing and storytelling to build toward a broader lifestyle-design company.

  • Origin story: Keanu Reeves met Gard Hollinger in 2005 at his Gardena, CA custom shop seeking a sissy bar for his Harley Dyna; the resulting custom build took five years.
  • Sponsor-funded, not VC-backed: ARCH Motorcycle and ARCH Racing have been financed primarily through sponsorship revenue rather than outside capital, similar to a Formula One team model.
