Highland Group AB is a motorcycle
manufacturer based in Sweden which was founded in 1997. The
first development plant belonging to Highland was located in
Skällinge in southern Sweden, the same place where the company
developed and produced one of the most popular engines of the
company, namely the 950 V-twin. What's interesting is that the
motorcycles produced by Highland are 100 percent handmade.
Since its early years of activity, Highland grew up a lot
becoming one of the largest companies in its area. At this time,
Highland struggles to expand its market coverage in both Asia
and Europe through new development centers but also with the
help of the local companies.
For instance, the company has recently launched a joint venture
project with a Chinese company which may bring up an interesting
product for the motorcycle industry.
Highland has created multiple advanced motorcycles, such as the
950 Dirt Track or the Desert Storm. All the bikes produced by
the company are equipped with multiple advanced features beside
the engine.
For instance, the Highland Desert Storm, a bike designed by the
Swedish company in 2006, comes with a four-stroke engine
equipped with a liquid cooling system which can produce 85
horsepower at 6000rpm and a toruq of 77 lb-ft at 4000 rpm, being
entirely based on an injection fuel system. In addition, it
comes with a 6-speed gearbox and with an x-ring chain, the bike
being equipped with discs on both front and rear brakes.
The Highland Dirt Track is quite a similar bike, coming with the
same four-stroke engine with liquid cooling system as well as
with an injection fuel system. The engine installed on the bike
is able to produce 85 horsepower at 7000rpm and a torque of 62
lb-ft at 5000rpm.
