The recent acquisition of the Gas Gas brand as part of the Spanish-owned Torrot Group has further strengthened the future of this iconic brand with a significant investment across all levels of manufacturing and product development. With a focus on expansion into new markets, along with the development of future markets such as Australia, the new appointment of Urban Moto Imports underpins the company’s commitment to bring new levels of customer engagement and support.
Urban Moto Imports holds the reputation and accolade of being the biggest distributor for a number of their motorcycle brands. Using a proprietary B2B system, matched with strong after sales and marketing, the company is set to significantly grow Gas Gas, delivering a competitive and exciting experience for customers and the market.
“Gas Gas is without question a brand held in high esteem amongst the off-road community for its high build quality, performance and racing pedigree. The new MY2018 range, is ultimately a brand new platform that will be very competitive. However, the MY2018 range is just the start of the new breed to come from Gas Gas with much-anticipated developments to be announced.
We look forward to a long relationship with Gas Gas and we are committed to support our customers and dealership network.
