Aspes - All Models

Company History

Aspes blossomed during Italy’s 1970s off-road wave, producing nimble 50–125cc enduros and MXers that gave young riders a taste of competition without intimidation. Engines sourced from trusted suppliers sat in tidy steel frames with suspension tailored to Mediterranean terrain—rocky climbs, dusty fire roads, and tight woodland single-track. Later, as urban mobility surged, Aspes flirted with light commuters and small roadsters. Like many niche brands, it faced headwinds as Japanese OEMs industrialized quality at scale and as emissions rules raised costs for two-strokes. Yet Aspes machines retained a following for their lively character and approachable maintenance. Historically, Aspes is part of the mosaic that made Italy a small-bike powerhouse: local shops, regional racing scenes, and a feedback loop between paddock and factory. Surviving Aspes enduros encapsulate a riding style—momentum, finesse, and the joy of a light chassis dancing over rough ground.
