History
Dafra Motos was founded in mid-2008 using the concept "CKD" (completely knocked down) i.e. bringing the disassembled bikes made by Asian manufacturers Loncin, Lifan and Zongshen and mounting them in Manaus in Brazil, where it maintains its plant.
At the start of production components were overwhelmingly imported from China but after breaking partnership with suppliers, Dafra sought new partners, today Dafra motorcycles amazon has a partnership with TVS Motor Company of India (third largest manufacturer of motorcycles in India), Haojue (manufacturer of Suzuki motorcycles in China), BMW, Ducati, MV Agusta, KTM and SYM Motors, seeking improvement of their products.
To meet the domestic market, Dafra built in the industrial pole of Manaus (Amazonas) a factory which has 170,000 m² of land, with 35,000 square meters of built area. The factory currently has more than 500 employees and annual production capacity of 200,000 motorcycles.
