Aerotrim

Aerotrim is a well designed aftermarket wind deflector that either bolts down or sticks on to your existing screen to deflect airflow over the rider and pillion for a less tiring effect on the neck and shoulders. An aerodynamic design supports airflow to prevent the buffeting effect. Riders will now be able to travel greater distances at a time and higher speeds will be no problem.

The product has been tested up to speeds over 250km/h without distortion. All parts are individually numbered and available on order. The design is based on a laser cut lay-out and precision assembly.

All Aerotrim screens are designed and moulded according to the curvature of screens on different bikes.

KTM Motor Bikes

We have been in operation since 1999 where we started the KTM dealership on our smallholding in Cato Ridge, we were the first appointed dealer in South Africa by in the importer, Butch Hirsch. For those of you who don’t know, KTM is an Austrian made motorcycle.

Our first trading year we sold a total of 50 units!, however by the end of the July 2006 we had sold over 185 units! With KTM being a European manufacturer our model runs from July through July so we are always ahead of our competition when it comes to latest technology. KTM is a very dynamic and pro-active and in the last 5 years we have seem them build a brand new motorcycle specifically for the Paris- Dakar Rally – the 950 twin cylinder which went onto win the Dakar in her first attempt. The factory then developed this for the public and the 950cc Adventure was released as our twin cylinder dual sport bike, ideal for both on & off road touring.

Simultaneously KTM then moved into the 125cc Moto GP and this being their first attempt at road racing, the Redbull KTM GP team is now starting to notch up wins.
Due to KTM Austria’s initiative in growing KTM from solely an off road motorcycle manufacturer into the road bike market so too did we look to expanding our dealership, Rodney Gray the legendary multiple South African Superbike Champion joined our dealership in preparation for the vision that KTM Austria has for its world wide dealer network.

We can boast a staff compliment of highly qualified technician and sales personnel. The ‘Maritzburg dealership is a service centre only, and by that we mean, we have a fully equipped workshop with specialised KTM tool & diagnostic equipment, the workshop is headed up by Rod Gray with the help of young & talented Linda Hlongwane. Our newest recruit is Shayne Dewsbury who has taken to sales of spares and accessories.

The Pinetown workshop is headed up by Wayne O’Neale together with Mark Dewsbury, together they have over 60years technical experience! They are ably assisted by Bruce Palmer and Norman Steyn. Richard Manning has now moved to the Pinetown dealership where he will head up the sales team of both new and used motorcycles, he is assisted by
Shaun O’Berg & Alan Reddy both who have been in the motorcycle business for many years Alan comes from the Ekerold stable and Shaun DMC. Joey Buys abley assists Shaun, Alan and Richard both in the spares department and with general office duties.

Mrs B or “Gran” as she affectionately known, heads up the book keeping side of the business, by means of a remote computer from Cato Ridge. Ask any customer if you catch her in any shop – she makes a MEAN CUP OF TEA!
Hazel works between both the ‘maritzburg & Pinetown dealerships and also plans my busy schedule. I divide my time between both shops and focus mainly on technical and bike sales.
