CCM Motorcycles He has just announced his imminent closure. The reason is none other than the impossibility of continuing its activity due to lack of liquidity. An increasingly widespread fact, mainly between what we call niche marks, fruit, among other things, of the overwhelming globalization and the lack of appreciation, for an vast majority of fans, of the differential product.
CCM Motorcycles throws the closure after more than half a century of history
CCM Motorcycles, founded by Alan Clews In 1971 and based in Bolton, he has failed to overcome the financial problems it has been dragging for several years. Originally baptized under the name of Clews Competition Machinesis part of the European and British European heritage in particles within the so -called niche brands.
The latest news we had referred to their activity, last December, filled us with full satisfaction after knowing their most immediate future plans: new engines, classic style and launch in Spain. It is curious as in just a few months everything has literally gone to the Garete and what his recently signed CEO, Jason Broome, commented then, has become wet paper.
Then they were in full official presentation of their Project X in Motorcycle Live 2024. A trail motorcycle to the old way with that vintage design, characteristic of the brand, although armed to the teeth in terms of equipment. Broome, during the Motorcycle Live celebration, commented:
“I would say that in three years we will have new products and we will be present in multiple international markets. That is the final objective. The group of clients that we can try to attract right now with the current range will be reduced, because they already have the motorcycle.” Today, on June 4, 2025 there is nothing left of those international expansion plans.
He has not even saved them from the economic bankruptcy of the investment in 2021 of Pitalia Capital, owned by businessman Anil Pitalia, with the intention of encouraging the aforementioned international growth and meet the demand from Europe and the United States. Recently, a CCM Motorcycles spokesman told The Business Desk digital medium:
“This is a difficult time for all involved: our dedicated team, our passenger loyal and the widest community of CCM that has supported us over the years. We are proud of the motorcycles we have built and the legacy that we have shared with so many. We would like to sincerely thank all those who have been part of this trip.”
Maybe thank you should give them. All those who love the world of two wheels and greatly appreciate the effort and dedication that marks such as CCM Motorcycles, Langen or Mutt Motorcycles, among others, have done or do every day for being able to continue manufacturing motorcycles other than the rest.
