The Vance & Hines Brand

The Vance & Hines brand has always been about enhancing the exhilaration of the motorcycle ride. It started over 40 years ago, when Terry Vance and Byron Hines were two young enthusiasts in the fledgling Southern California motorcycle drag race scene. Terry always wanted to go faster and Byron knew how to make that happen. In short order, their on-track success and innovation drew the attention of other racers, riders and motorcycle manufacturers which ultimately translated to commercial demand. Today, the Company's mission and activity is the same; make bikes go faster on the race track and take those leanings to make impactful products for riders around the world. Since the Company's inception in 1979, we have had partnerships to run factory race programs with Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati and Harley-Davidson in drag racing, road racing and flat track.
