Damon Inc., the folks behind the HyperSport and HyperFighter all-electric motorcycles that have been on the way for many years now, have been having a rough one as of late. There have been layoffs, strategy changes, multiple executives leaving for a couple different reasons, a handful of prominent lawsuits, and an ever-changing manufacturing question of where the motorcycles were gonna be built. But if you hear current CEO and co-founder Dom Kwong talk about the brand's future, you'd maybe believe that the company was now on firmer ground.
And you will hear him make that case in an upcoming interview, as I sat down with Kwong and talked about the company's past, present, and future, with him copping to the warts and all. But right now, one thing we have to cover ahead of that talk is that the folks tasked with actually building the brand's new prototype—it went back to the drawing board for its now upcoming HyperSport Race motorcycle—Engines Engineering.
See, the famed Italian engineering house was just bought by TVS, the same Indian company that just bought Norton, and helped develop BMW's G310 series motorcycles. So far, nothing has been stated that they'll be changing any of the brand's directives or projects. But what's interesting is that Damon recently announced that Engines Engineering just completed its clay-modeling process, and is working toward a working prototype.
