IDN met with Airsal’s Export Sales Manager Frank Gali on the Mandelli booth at EICMA (their Italian distributor). Frank told us that “the new line will include a huge range of 250cc 4-stroke models and we are already working on an upgrade to our new 2017 catalogue with options for 450cc models and 2-strokes…we plan to be offering more than 30 different off-road engine cylinder options within the next 2-3 years”.
