About IXON

IXON is a real human adventure, and we are proud to take stock of the progress made.

We started our business from scratch in France in 1996, and today we are a global brand of motorcycling equipment combining passion and expertise, and with a strong focus on racing. Worldwide, we represent 500 people from over 10 nationalities are we are all dedicated to performance.

With our human approach, we have created a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone is valued and where we can all give our best.

Our strong growth comes from our “Think Global, Act Local” approach: we offer the same level of excellence worldwide, while adapting our work methods and our offer to the specific needs of users in over 70 countries.

IXON is a committed brand, from the circuit to the road. Because we are on a mission to revolutionize the riding experience, our job is to provide our users with the best equipment. For this, two forces drive the development of our products: innovation and technology.

In our approach to continuous improvement, competition is our greatest field of Research and Development, as the value of our products is constructed from our riders to our users: our riders, at the peak of motorcycle racing, help us to develop certain innovations and technologies that, tomorrow, will be found in our equipment for all motorcyclists
