BENELLI IS BACK WITH SSR MOTORSPORTS

As it often happens, the history of great industries is born in garages. In our case, it is the Benelli Garage, where in 1911, the 6 Benelli brothers repaired and manufactured motorcycle parts. In 1919 the first engine was born, a single cylinder 75cc two stroke engine adapted to a bicycle frame. 1921 brought the first real Benelli motorcycle, the Velomotore a 98cc two stroke offered in a Sport or Touring model, followed by a 147cc version two years later. In 1926 Benelli designed a new motorcycle, a 175cc 4-stroke overhead camshaft engine which was equal to or superior to its larger displacement competitors. Over the next several decades, Benelli produced many more race winning 250cc and 500cc models.

 
 
 

 

In 1995, the Merloni Group of Fabriano purchased the majority stake in the company. With aggressive new ideas came new models of scooters such as the 491, and the Tornado 900cc three-cylinder and the TNT 1130cc sport bike. In December 2005, Benelli became part of the Q.J. Group, manufacturer, and winner of the prestigious Best Motorcycle Importer award. Qianjiang (Q.J.) is a corporation located in Wenling China, employing 14,000 people who produce over 1.2 million vehicles and two million engines per year. Including ATVs, electric bicycles, lawnmowers, golf carts, generators, pumps and other gardening equipment which are distributed worldwide.
 
  Founded in 2002, SSR Motorsports has become a premier distributor of deluxe pit bikes and on/off-road vehicles. By carefully selecting an OEM manufacturer in China, and with a strict onsite QC process by SSR onsite representative, SSR is able to provide high quality products while keeping them affordable. Branching out into small displacement fuel economic scooters and electric bicycles, SSR continues to innovate in an ever changing economy. In 2015 SSR and Q.J. penned an agreement to control North American Distribution of the Benelli product lines.
