Horex

Horex is one of those rare motorcycle manufacturers. The brand was established by Fritz Kleemann in Germany in 1923. Unlike other motorcycle manufacturers, Horex bought its engines from other suppliers in the start-up phase. However, by the 1930s, the company had sufficient capital and technology and developed its own engines.

Horex mainly made single-cylinder 4-strokes, and among the most famous models is the 350 cc Regina. The Regina became a popular motorcycle thanks to its quality and performance. In 1960, Horex was acquired by Daimler-Benz, and motorcycle production was phased out.

Try again.

There have been some attempts to revive the brand, and in 2010 Horex VR6 was released, a compact machine with a V6 engine of 1218 cubic centimeters and 161 hp. However, the model never entered commercial production. In 2015, the rights to Horex were sold, and the new owner, the company, 3C-Carbon Composite Company, introduced a new model with the historical model name Regina Evo. The model was supposed to revive the brand for its 100th anniversary in 2023, but unfortunately it did not go quite according to plan, because no commercial operation was achieved.
