“CES 2020 is where it all started for us and we’re excited to be back,” said Jay Giraud, CEO, Damon Motors. “We’re eager to give CES attendees an up-close look at the future of motorcycling with our HyperFighter superbike. We’ll also be making key partnership announcements that will further our mission to create the industry’s smartest, safest and most powerful motorcycles.”
In pursuit of its vision to become the future of motorcycling, Damon has developed groundbreaking technologies for its line of motorcycles, including its CoPilot™ advanced warning system; and Shift™, which transforms the riding position between sport and commuter modes with the push of a button, which are built into HyperDrive™, a first of its kind, ultra-high-performance exoskeleton powertrain that will form the basis of a wide range of motorcycle models and sizes.
Damon has won over a dozen awards for its innovations including a 2022 CES Best in Innovation award for its HyperDrive technology and a 2020 CES Best in Innovation award for its flagship HyperSport motorcycle. The Company has also received awards from The Edison Awards, GOOD DESIGN, Digital Trends, Red Herring, Popular Science, Robb Report, and more.
