Hello Reader,

August is moving fast – just like our bikes, test events, and the people behind them. This month, we’re introducing Sophia from our team, sharing new videos with the Yalla V2 in action, finally showing off that jersey teaser (you’ll see), and giving you a heads-up on the biggest frame discounts we’ve ever offered. Enjoy the read!

​RAAW Inside Out: Sophia​

It started with an old bike and a MTB crash course in Bikepark Albstadt – and somehow led to purple hubs, hand-laced wheels, and a Madonna V3 that’s seen more shocks than Pinkbike. In this RAAW Inside Out, we introduce Sophia, who keeps your questions answered, your orders on track, and your stoke levels high – all while quietly out-riding half the crew on Tuesday nights. Go behind the scenes, check out her custom build, and see what makes RAAW feel like family in this article.

​Video: Setting Up the Yalla!! V2 for Racing – with Andrew Driscoll​

Getting a bike dialled can be a process – but it doesn’t have to be boring. In this new video, Andrew Driscoll walks through how he sets up his Yalla!! V2 for race days. From the Toolbox Concept to scrub-ready suspension tweaks, it’s all in here – plus a bit of that trademark lanky style.

​Gen 1 Frame Sale: The Cheapest Ticket to the World of RAAW​

We’ve never had prices like these – and if you’ve been thinking about joining the RAAW family, now might be the perfect time. Our Gen 1 frames are currently at their lowest ever, with options across the board and serious savings on top-tier shocks. Check out all offers on this page.

​Video: Stevie. Kilian. Schladming. Watch the Yalla V2 get worked.

When Stevie Schneider and Kilian Buhl hit Schladming, it’s not your average day at the bike park. One’s a freight train, the other a steeze machine – and both are out to test the limits of their Yalla V2s. This short film is loud, loose and full of laps. Just the way we like it.

​The Jersey Video We (Almost) Forgot to Share​

It might seem like we forgot to hit publish on the teaser video for our RAAW x Monserat jersey when we launched it a few weeks ago. But in reality – marketing masterminds that we are – we simply waited until the first sizes were sold out (for now!) before showing you how damn good it looks on the bike. Jokes aside, this one's all about clean lines, subtle branding, and full-tilt performance – made in Europe from 100% recycled fabric. Whether you're grinding up or dropping in, this jersey’s got your back. Check it out here.

​Community Deal: 20% Off the RAAW Shuttle Guard​

It sticks on without tools, fits all RAAW frames, and covers the full width of the downtube for maximum peace of mind. Perfect if you shuttle a lot – or just want your bike to stay fresh.

Shipping Update: UK & Germany

We’ve updated our shipping to make things faster and simpler.

UK customers: your frames and Rolling Chassis orders now ship with UPS Standard instead of DHL. Why? Because DHL’s hand-off to Parcel Force was causing major delays. With UPS, delivery typically takes around 4 working days, and customs clearance is much smoother. For Germany, we’ve reduced shipping costs: spare parts and accessories now ship for €4.95, and frames and Rolling Chassis for €9.95.

Current Availability

Stock levels are solid and both the Jibb V2 and the Madonna V3 are ready to ship in nearly all sizes. The only exceptions: the Jibb V2 in Raw - Small and the Madonna V3 in ‘black’ (Small and XXLarge). The Yalla!! V2 is currently sold out. Hit the “Notify me when available” button on the product page to be the first to know when they’re back.

More Info: Jibb V2 | Madonna V3 | Yalla!! V2​

As always, thank you for your support and have fun on the trails!

Cheers

Ruben CEO
