It has been a big year for the LeoVince brand. Now under the ownership of Belgrove Sp. z o.o., LeoVince’s “near death” experience is now well behind them.
This past three years saw the company sell over 360,000 exhaust products, with revenues up by 21 percent. In 2016 the company introduced over 100 new products and applications, and now has over 600 active SKUs, 124 employees, a 23,000 sq m facility and sells to 38 countries through some 70 plus distributors.
As Marketing Manager Stefano Patelli said at EICMA, that is “hardly the statistics of a company that has closed down”. His remarks follow the well-document difficulties encountered three years ago by former brand owner Sito Group, but with four completely new lines launched in 2016 and 26 of Europe’s 30 top selling bikes covered, the future looks bright for one of the market’s favourite brands.
New products for 2017 include their ‘GP Duals’, initially available as slip-ons or as complete systems for selected BMW (R nineT), Ducati (Scrambler 800), Honda (CB 500 F / CBR 500 R), Kawasaki (Z800/E), Suzuki (SV 650 and GSR750) and Yamaha models (slip-ons for the MT10, complete systems for the MT-07/9 and XSR 700).
Manufactured entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel for durability with a temperature resistant metallic ceramic-based black paint with laser-cut LeoVince logo, these EU-approved ‘GP Duals’ are “easy to install thanks to the laser-cut muffler connection bracket”, according to the company.
Also seen here, LeoVince’s new ‘Classic Racer’ is designed for modern “urban racer” style models, and is a tribute to the cafe culture with its trumpet-shaped classic style combined with “LeoVince innovative materials and experience to give a unique retro look and unmistakable sound”.
Manufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel for durability, the new end cap has a brushed finish to add to its “retro vibe”. EU approved and easy to install, it is currently available as a slip-on for selected Moto Guzzi, Kawasaki and Triumph models.
