The Red Devils Motorcycle Club (RDMC) is an international 1% outlaw motorcycle club and the principal support club of the Hells Angels. The club is not to be confused with the now-defunct Original Red Devils Motorcycle Club that was founded in Canada in the late 1940s.
With chapters in nearly 20 countries, the Red Devils MC have been involved in numerous disputes with law enforcement and rival one-percenter motorcycle groups.
Formation
The Red Devils MC were initially founded in Karlstad, Sweden in 2001. A charter emerged the following year in the United States in Massachusetts. A Red Devils charter would then go on to be established in Belgium in 2003, and later, expand into other countries.
