Xenophya Design was established in 2001 to specialise in design and development for the motorcycle industry. We are proud to have developed a client list of some of the best known brands in the industry for product planning and concept design in the motorcycle and scooter markets.

Founders Mark Wells and Ian Wride have been immersed in various parts of the motorcycle world for over 10 years, graduating with Honours in Transport Design and establishing Xenophya design in 2001.

Xenophya now employs a network of experienced and passionate designers, engineers and service providers working towards the goal of becoming the premier port of call for outsourcing motorcycle design services in Europe.

We offer a range of creative design and development services; from initial design strategy & product planning through concept generation & product styling to clay modelling and prototyping.

The scope and budget of every project is different. Our approach, therefore, is one of total flexibility. Each of our services can be utilised to supplement your development process, or in partnership with our network of collaborators; we can provide a fully managed 'turn-key' product from concept to manufacture.

Xenophya are active members of the Motorcycle Design Association, whilst also lecturing on Northumbria University's Transportation Design and Design for Industry courses.
