The enduring romance between Keanu Reeves and motorcycles spans many years. Even predating the iconic scene in “The Matrix Reloaded,” where Trinity maneuvers a Ducati 998 through a thrilli𝚗g chase, Reeves owns a similar model and passionately rides it. Speaking to GQ USA, he described the bike as “incredible,” noting its visceral sensations and unique sound that resonate deeply with him. Riding not only clears his mind but also contributes positively to his health, although contractual obligations often limit his time on it, except when he can sneak away unnoticed.
Beyond this Ducati, Reeves’ love for motorcycles led him to co-found Arch Motorcycle seven years ago. This boutique brand crafts custom motorcycles starting at $80,000, all based on a V-twin engine exceeding two liters and over 120 horsepower. Each model combines traditional American craftsmanship with high-quality materials and a chassis setup designed for exceptional riding pleasure.
In recent years, Reeves has actively promoted Arch Motorcycle, leveraging his image at events like Grand Prix and collaborating with brands like Porsche. His commitment to the brand was underscored by a memorable Sᴜper Bowl commercial where he personally performed daring feats on an Arch, reminiscent of his iconic roles. This dedication reflects his belief in pursuing dreams and following one’s passions wholeheartedly.
