In 1903, out of a small shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, four young men lit a cultural wildfire that would grow and spread across geographies and generations. Their innovation and imagination for what was possible on two wheels sparked a transportation revolution that would make Harley-Davidson the most recognizable motorcycle brand in the world. Today, we continue to define motorcycle culture, evoking soul-stirring emotion reflected in every product and experience we deliver - like we have for well over a century and will for generations to come.

Vance & Hines is a manufacturing and product development Company that partners with distribution partners and OEMs to reach our customers.
We leverage our experience, passion and learnings at the race track to deliver products that enhance the exhilaration of the riding experience.
The Vance & Hines brand has always been about enhancing the exhilaration of the motorcycle ride. It started over 40 years ago, when Terry Vance and Byron Hines were two young enthusiasts in the fledgling Southern California motorcycle drag race scene. Terry always wanted to go faster and Byron knew how to make that happen. In short order, their on-track success and innovation drew the attention of other racers, riders and motorcycle manufacturers which ultimately translated to commercial demand. Today, the Company's mission and activity is the same; make bikes go faster on the race track and take those learnings to make impactful products for riders around the world. Since the Company's inception in 1979, we have had partnerships to run factory race programs with Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati and Harley-Davidson in drag racing, road racing and flat track.
Akrapovič is the market-leading manufacturer of premium exhaust systems for motorcycles and performance cars. It is a pioneer in the innovative use of titanium and super-alloys, and is at the forefront of carbon-fibre components. Akrapovič exhaust systems are renowned for increasing performance, unmistakable sound, innovative design, lightweight construction, quality workmanship, and durability.
Founded in Slovenia in 1991 by former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovič, the brand has grown to international prominence. Through racing, which has led to winning major world championship titles and setting the highest design standards – leading to Akrapovič winning more Red Dot awards in the last years – Akrapovič is consistently at the forefront of exhaust technology.
The technical ability and support Akrapovič provides to racing teams to give them the competitive edge follows the same heritage and knowhow that is transferred into road and off-road systems. Increased performance, improved throttle response, more power, and greater durability are all directly related to the research, development, and testing that every Akrapovič exhaust is subjected to in the racing arena, giving it a pedigree that few others can match.
