Welcome to the official website for Mert Lawwill.
In this site you can keep up-to-date with all the latest happenings in Mert’s world. Mert’s career included 17 National championship wins from TT events to the big daddy of them all “The Mile.” However Mert is probably most well known today for his role in the iconic movie "On Any Sunday" that was on the silver screen back in 1970. If you have not seen this film do yourself a favor and rent it or better yet pick up your own copy as more than likely you will watch many more times than once!

On the photos pages take a trip down memory lane from when Mert was an amateur racing as #84r, through his final national number #7. In addition to his racing career, Mert ran successful teams that have included such riders as Wayne Rainey, Steve Morehead, Ricky Graham, Mike Kidd, Garth Brow, Jimmy Felice just to name a few.

With years of experience working and designing motorcycle chasis Mert took this knowledge and developed a revolutionary bicycle rear suspension system that took the bicycle industry by storm. Mert had such a impact in the bicycle world that he was eventually inducted into the Mountainbike Hall of Fame. Mert is the only person to be in both the Mountainbike and Motorcycle Hall of Fames.

Even if your not a bicycle fan we encourage you to take a lap through the "Bicycle" Design" section of the site and see what was the predesesor to the current rear suspens design Mert uses on his custom Street Trackers. Also take notice of what firmly plants in the history of mountainbikes with the with the “Pro Cruiser” which was one of the first ever production mountain bikes.

In additon to developing suspensions designs Mert also developed a prosthetic device that enables amputees to get back in the saddle again. Designed and developed with the late Chris Drayer of 60's dirt track fame Mert has come up with an extremly trick and safe prosthetic deive that bolts onto any motorcycle bicycle or anything with handlebars. Mert's latest project is developing a shock for the prosthetic hand that will enable the user to better handle violent impacts thus making the device more confortable. There is also a prosthetic elbow in the works for above elbow amputees.

Mert is still producing a very limited number of Street Trackers like what you see here on the site. Contact Mert direct to see what it takes to get one of your own.
