Building a Crashless Future
It’s our mission to protect riders with technology that adapts to humans instead of the other way around.
We believe that a true fusion of human and machine can make each journey more personal, exhilarating, and safe.
No Compromises
At Damon, we push limits and we reject the slow crawl of evolution. We believe that smarter, safer, and environmentally-friendly technology should already be the best choice today. So we proved it.
Starting with the HyperSport motorcycle, we reimagined the relationship between bike and rider—erasing the divide to make them one. And it sparked a revolution.
Now we’re defining the future of mobility on a global scale. So, if you’re ready to ride ahead, we'll show you the way.
