More than 45 years ago Arie den Haan made his first steps as a wheel builder. It was in a small garage behind his house where he found his passion… building spoked wheels for street bikes, cars and especially motocross bikes.

n the early years Arie experienced many problems with Maico motocross wheels while racing himself. However, he discovered a different and improved way to lace these wheels and from that point on his wheel business took off.

Many high profile riders would visit the legendary work shop in Schijndel, including the legendary HRC Honda Factory team and many more would follow. In 1995 we developed our first complete wheels using our own Haan Wheels hubs for the Kawasaki Factory racing team and our first steps were made in supplying complete wheels to our customers.
