Company History
VOR carried forward the boutique Italian off-road tradition: compact, tractable engines in precise chassis tuned for European terrain. Low-volume manufacturing allowed quick iteration from paddock feedback—gear ratios, clutch action, and suspension stacks refined to suit technical specials tests. Owners prized the connection to the workshop and the sense that each bike was built by people who race. Although scale remained limited, VOR reinforced the idea that agility and feel win real stages more often than sheer power.
