The Raleigh Chopper, with its iconic 70s styling, high handlebars and mid-frame gear shifter, is making a comeback. The Nottinghamshire business is relaunching the nostalgic bike in a choice of the two original colours, Ultraviolet and Infrared, and a price tag of £950.
The launch comes less than a year after the business put out a new limited edition version of its classic 80s BMX the Tuff Burner. With good quality original MK2 Choppers highly sort after thanks to their high nostalgia factor, Raleigh said that after four years of research and product development, the new version will go on sale soon.
Bringing the bike into 2023 has required a few tweaks to bring it up to modern health and safety regs, but the new Chopper is as close to the original as possible.
