BUCK CITY BIKER

Another twist in the long-running Damon Motorcycles saga. This one leaves even more questions than answers. Damon Motorcycles confirmed in a recent press release that CEO Dominique Kwong, CFO Bal Bhullar, and board member Karan Sodhi have all exited the company.

Damon Motorcycles has been the subject of plenty of talk — excitement, controversy, and a long list of questions that once felt too big to answer. The company burst onto the scene in 2018 with the HyperSport, a halo product that drew serious investment and thousands of depositors eager to see Damon’s vision roll into their garages. We sat down with Dom Kwong to get straight answers to the questions everyone’s been asking. But first, a little background on Damon’s new leader.

The Exit: Regrets, Lessons, and the Road Ahead We’ve ridden with Jay Giraud from teenage breakouts to the birth of the HyperSport.

The HyperSport started as a personal quest that turned into a reality. Born from a drive to make motorcycles safer, it was forged through relentless innovation and a no-compromise approach to design. Riders from every corner showed up: blue-collar Republicans, Silicon Valley tech heads, European commuters, and even gas-guzzling, gun-toting lorry drivers from the South — all lining up to throw down deposits and back the machine.

Back in 2017, Jay Giraud had an idea — one that hit the electric motorcycle world like a torque spike to the gut. An idea bold enough to pull 3600 riders off the fence and make them throw down real money for a bike that, at the time, existed only on paper. An idea that didn’t just challenge the ‘electric vs. gas’ debate — it aimed to bury it.

Damon Motorcycles has just released a clay model of their Hypersport Prototype. That's right, the same company that promised the most advanced motorcycle in the world—and took millions in pre-order money years ago—has now turned to the potting wheel for their big reveal.

With established giants pushing new boundaries and exciting newcomers charging onto the scene, whether you’re hunting for the latest tech, eyeing fresh models, or curious about who’s thriving — or struggling — this roundup has you covered.
