Boosted by its success at the World Cup, Voxan is exported to New Zealand while 30 Black Magic have already been booked on the internet. At the same time, the brand’s dealers are under very strong pressure before their national convention..

Against all expectations, it is not on the Voxan Scrambler that the New Zealanders have cracked, but on the VB1 and the Black Magic, two machines a priori unwilling to cross the dirt roads of the antipodes…

In the immediate future, four Cafe Racer and three Roadsters were delivered to a group of dealers in New Zealand, in the presence of the French Ambassador and the Honorary Consul.

After Germany, Hungary, Belgium and the Netherlands, Voxan will therefore be distributed to the other side of the world pending the ongoing contacts with the rest of Europe, the United States and Japan. bear fruit.

For its part, the Black Magic, presented in preview at the Mondial (read), is refining its debut. "Many questions received via our website prompted us to review certain aspects of the bike", explains Voxan:"for example, we are going to offer a two-seater saddle when it was not at all planned at the start"Another subject of concern for French Internet users: the capacity of the reservoir."At present, two choices are still possible, explains Voxan: 20 liters if the tank is made entirely of aluminum and 17 liters if it is a thermo-molded tank simply wrapped in an aluminum shell".

In total, "around thirty Black Magic have been reserved, exclusively on the brand’s website", specifies the person in charge of the communication. Which, for a motorcycle at 15,000 euros including tax bookable with a deposit of 750 euros without being able to try it, is a rather encouraging start !

On November 24 and 25, the first convention of Voxan dealers will take place in Issoire, which must face very strong pressure from competing manufacturers: beyond the felted carpet of multi-brand dealerships, it is indeed a real trench warfare which currently opposes manufacturers like Ducati, Buell or Voxan…
