Company History
Orion-badged motorcycles appear across markets as approachable pit bikes and small dual-sports built around proven single-cylinder engines. The appeal is low cost and fixability: simple carb/EFI maps, steel frames that tolerate tumbles, and widely interchangeable spares. Parents buy Orion minis to teach clutch and brake feel in safe spaces; commuters in rural areas value tires and suspension that survive neglect and rough lanes. As the value segment matured, Orion and its distributors improved loom sealing, brake components, and documentation, making day-to-day ownership smoother. Historically, Orion reflects how modular manufacturing plus competent local support widens participation—machines that turn first kicks and first laps into confidence, skills, and a lasting riding habit.
