Sometimes autumn gets to me - get 10% off the Madonna V3


Hello Reader,

On a quiet solo ride the other day, the air was crisp, the trails were covered in leaves, and the woods had that calm, golden glow that only autumn brings. Conditions like that sometimes put me in a reflective mood – the kind where flow mixes with emotion, sneaking in between the corners and the climbs.

I found myself thinking about the Madonna – the bike I was on – and the role it has played in our story, and in so many of yours. From the very beginning, it’s been the bike at the heart of RAAW. The one that started it all, and the one that defined what the brand stands for. The V3 carried that idea forward: a bike built to thrive when things get rough, with the balance and durability that shape every ride.

Maybe it was the autumn light, maybe just a wave of gratitude – but in that moment, I felt the Madonna V3 deserved to be celebrated. And so did the end of a season full of good rides, golden trails, and moments that remind us why we ride. So, for the first time ever, I’ve decided to offer the Madonna V3 at a discount.

Starting today, you’ll get 10% off all Madonna V3 frame kits and rolling chassis with the code ENDOFSEASON10 at checkout. The offer doesn’t include the Fox Podium (sorry!) build and is only valid while supplies last.

It’s a rare chance to get the bike that set the standard for what a RAAW should feel like at a discount.

Enjoy the season,

Cheers

Ruben

Hello Reader, During the holidays, we fully close our company once a year. Holiday season break. Everything comes to a halt: no meetings, no orders being packed, and no testrides at our HQ. And that’s good and important. A year ago, when our holiday season break started, I immediately felt that I was exhausted. Not just from the pre-Christmas rush, but worn from a long period. To make sure this wouldn’t turn into the second burnout of my life – I knew the signs all too well from the first one...
