The Rise of Asian-Made Motorcycles: Iconic Brands, Hidden Gems, and the Road Ahead || EP.58

Welcome to the ADD GAS channel where we cover all things off-road. Subscribe for new episodes every week.

In this episode we start off with a dive into a bit of a history lesson when it comes to asian produced off-road motorcycles. It was in the 1960's when Japan started their journey into the off-road market. Over the last 60 years they have produced iconic brands and bikes such as Yamaha and Suzuki and gone on to compete at the highest level against European manufacturers. 

It’s no secret that over the years there have been more brands producing off-road bikes which brings us to the main point of today’s episode. In the 2010's we saw other asian countries start to reverse engineer bikes and now heading into the mid 2020's we’re seeing some very interesting brands and models appear. We discuss the brands who set the foundation for exporting asian produced bikes to the western world as well as the brands we’re currently seeing in the market that could be of interest in the near future. 

We hope you enjoy this episode!
