DAELIM Brand History
Daelim Motor is part of the South Korean Daelim Group, which has
started making bikes in 1962. At first, they manufactured bikes at the
Kia Industry Plant, but now they have their own production facility.
This plant has a surface of 30.7 hectares and can produce over 300,000
motorcycles per year. The Daelim Motor current line-up includes:
E-Five, Delfino, History, S2 125, S2 250, A-Four, Roadwin and Daystar.
These two last bikes have a 124cc engine, 56.5 X 49.5mm bore and stroke
and can reach a top speed of 115km/h. The objective of the company was to search for a niche in the motorcycle business and release a lot of vehicles that would surpass the expectations of most people. From the beginning, the company wanted to put an emphasis on the quality design work. Since 1978, Daelim Motor Company has developed popular and functional models, with the help of the Japanese manufacturers, but in 1992, the company managed to develop a 100cc bike on their own.
The first motorcycle signed by Daelim was Altino and after years of work, all the company models got an immediate response from the masses. In 1997, Daelim started marketing the 125cc scooter “Trans Up (NS125)”, a model equipped with a 4-stroke, 4-valve engine. The “Trans Up” continues to be appreciated on both domestic and international markets.
