Company History
Under the Rhino name, American fabricators produced limited-run customs, frames, and hardware that favored rideability and longevity. Builders prioritized straight jigs, sane rake and trail, and quality bearings so finished bikes would track true and resist the fatigue that plagues long, imperfect highways. While styling nodded to classic American silhouettes, details—serviceable wiring runs, accessible fasteners, brake components with known pad shapes—kept ownership sane. The clientele ranged from weekend riders to cross-country tourers who wanted presence without sacrificing composure. Small-batch vendors like Rhino also supported the DIY ecosystem by publishing torque specs and fitment notes that made garage builds safer and more repeatable. Historically, Rhino represents the quiet engineering layer beneath custom flash: metal shaped to hold a line, stop predictably, and survive years of real use. The bikes may glitter in a lot, but they earn their reputation on a rough back road at dusk.
