A Brief History of the Marque
Manufacturer:
Boxer Design
20 rue Jean Monnet
31240 Saint-Jean
The firm was established in 1984 with Thierry Henriette at the helm.
Claude Fior, designer of front suspension systems which have graced the machines from the upper echelons of the sport, including the Britten and BMW's K 1200 S [1], collaborated in the development of some of the earlier models.
Concept motorcycles which have emerged from the Boxer design studio include the Aprilia Blue Marlin, Voxan UB1, B2 and Scrambler, and the Mondial Nuda.
Others works include:
Ducati 996 L.E. for Ducati France
Honda X Project 2003
Peugeot E-Vivacity 2010
Scorpa 660 Raidster 2005
The Boxer SSR is based on the Voxan V-Twin and is delivered with full fairing and naked bike components enabling the owner to have either version at will. The Aprilia Rotax V60 RSV1000 R engine was also considered for this project.
Thierry Henriette attempted the revival of Brough Superior, with Mark Upham. They partnered with Aston Martin.
