The addition of the White Brothers line will enable Vance & Hines to serve a wider range of market segments and accelerate the development of new products by combining the resources and expertise of two leading companies that hail from opposite ends of the motorcycle aftermarket.

The value of joining the engineering expertise of these two arsenals will enable the Vance & Hines brand to deliver premium cutting-edge off road products to the many worldwide customers of the motorcycle industry. "This is an exciting time for the future growth of our company," said Vance & Hines president, Terry Vance of the announcement. "Having focused our efforts on addressing the explosive demand in the on-road aftermarket, bringing the White Brothers off-road products under the Vance & Hines umbrella will allow us to provide leading off-road products as well.
