Since 1963 : Rokon

  A funny little bike...

TrailBreakerI wanted to pay a tribute to Rokon on this web site. An american brand almost unknown in Europe, Rokon was born in 1963 and since this year they build quite the same model, paying no attention to merchandising trends. No chromes, no leather fringes, no plastic fairings, no computerized injection : just a rugged 2WD little bike with a grade capability of 60 %.

Of course, the most powerful engine (an air-cooled 2 stroke monocylinder) delivers only 10 hp with a top speed of 40 m/ph. But it can pull a trailer, a side-car, a plow, a lawn-mower, drag a big log, change in an electric generator, or take its owner in the wilderness for hunting. Do you know of other bikes like that ?
Prices range from $ 4 800 to $ 5 200 for the Trailbreaker, with its hollow aluminum drum wheels where one can store up to 4 gallons of water or gasoline for those long trips ; or just leave the drum wheels with plain air and in this case...
The Trailbreaker floats !
They have been around for fourty years and you did not know ? :-) Find relative web sites in the Links page.
