KTM Europe take over CFMOTO distribution in the UK
KTM Europe has announced that it will oversee the distribution of CFMOTO motorcycles in the UK from 2023 onwards
FROM January 1st 2023, CFMOTO bikes in the UK will be officially distributed by KTM Europe, taking over from Quadzilla who will still oversee CFMOTO's ATV and side-by-side vehicle distribution.
The move deepens the ties between KTM and CFMOTO, which already have a technical partnership that brought about the 800MT earlier this year. It’s also hoped that the move will go some way to winning over riders, improving the perception of the class-leading Chinese brand’s bikes. Existing UK CFMOTO motorcycle dealers are being offered the opportunity to continue with the brand through KTM from 2023 onwards.
During the crossover period, Quadzilla will still honour the warranty of any registered bikes during the transition process. Moreover, any sold machine under warranty will be covered for the remainder of the period by the new distributor. It is also confirmed that Quadzilla will handle the spare parts side of the business for CFMOTO owners for the foreseeable future.
Paul Miller at Quadzilla Ltd, commented:
“Through our dedicated dealers and promotions, as well as our racing department, we have had the pleasure of supporting CFMOTO with the growth of its motorcycle division for ten years. We have not only raised the profile of the brand in the motorcycle market within the UK but also had race success at the Isle of Man TT and No Limits twins classes.
“Considering the rapid growth of the ATV and UTV sectors in our market, Quadzilla Ltd has decided that now is the right time to relinquish the distribution of CFMOTO motorcycles within the UK and Ireland in order to focus on CFMOTO ATV, UTV and SSV products.
“We will continue to support our dealer network, as well as KTM Europe in Austria with the transition and are looking forward to seeing the continued growth of CFMOTO motorcycles.”
