Undisputed leader in the quad market, GD France confirms its clear progress in the motorcycle sector in 2023 through CFMOTO extension and Zontes, brands that GD France has distributed in France for several years. Each of the brands distributed by GD France now benefits from notoriety and recognition on the market and their “exoticism” is no longer a subject because their qualities are acclaimed by both users and professional networks.
Like 2022, 2023 will have been a year of double-digit progress both for the group and for CFMOTO extension and Zontes.
Finally, 2024 is already promised to accelerate GD France's position on the French market with the arrival of one of the market leaders, HERO, which has chosen GD France as a partner for its development. 2024 will also be an opening towards electromobility through Zeeho, the electrical branch of CFMOTO extension and VIDA, the electric brand of the Hero Motorcycle.
Areas: 13rd of the motorcycle market
3153 registrations +33%
By passing above the fateful bar of 3000 registered vehicles, ZONTES moves from 15th to 13th place in the French market after only 5 years of presence.
The Zontes range is intended for new entrants to the 2cc and A125 motorized 2-wheel market and produces in each of its models a remarkable effort of high technology and equipment worthy of much larger displacements in order to wish "welcome" to new practitioners of 2 motorized wheels.
This high-end policy also applied to the arrival of the scooter range in 2023 with the 125 and 350 (available in 2 distinct versions 350D and 350E).
Finally, the constantly developing network allows a territorial network (145 points of sale) reassuring for users for a brand which offers 3 years of guarantee.
2024 is a year of transition for ZONTES which will expand its range and above all move towards larger displacements.
500T
In this logic of evolution of displacement, the 350T passes to 500T, with a more adventure positioning with a greater travel, a higher ground clearance, a belly pan, and a larger screen.
Range 703
Finally, ZONTES is moving towards the top of the market by working on a range of larger displacement with the 703F and 703RR, three cylinders, which will arrive in France at the end of the year.
Here again it is an affirmation of the technical know-how of the brand which has designed and designed its own engines since its origins.
CFMOTO: 21rd of the motorcycle market
1632 immats +60%
In an ultra competitive motorcycle market, CFMOTO extension is a brand now cited as a reference by many market players, and if the brand has appeared on several magazine covers this year, it is neither a coincidence nor a fashion effect.
CFMOTO extension displays remarkable progress again this year, moving from 30th to 21st place in the market, especially since it is competing with all the major historical brands in market segments where competition is fierce!
Innovations, aggressive positioning, clear design, high-quality engines and equipment, CFMOTO extension is present in each of the most competitive segments of the 2023 market with a range of displacements ranging from 300 to 800:
– Sports (SR),
– Neo-retro (CL-X)
– Roadster (NK)
– Trail (MT)
– Touring (GT)
An absolute sign of the manufacturer's undeniable vigor, no less than 7 new products were presented in 2023:
– 450SR,
– 700 CL-X Adventure,
– 800MT Explore,
– 800NK Sport and 800NK Advanced
– 700MT
– 450NK
Who can say the same?
These are obviously the spearheads: the 800NK roadster and the 800MT trails which most affirm the progression of CFMOTO extension of the market in the most competitive competitive segments.
This dynamic allows the manufacturer born in 1989 (the only Chinese manufacturer involved in MotoGP with a Moto3 team) to form alliances with the KTM group (joint venture) but also more recently with Yamaha.
A guarantee of seriousness and industrial recognition which explains the 60% growth of the brand in France in 2023, but also the global growth of the group which exceeds 1,5 billion dollars.
Finally, a corollary of this dynamic, the network is rapidly becoming denser given numerous requests from well-established dealers who identify CFMOTO as an important card of the future. The network CFMOTO extension now has 150 resellers.
