About us
Since 2013, Aurora Rally Equipment has been turning ideas into reality, building parts that carry riders further than they thought possible. From the world’s first magnetic roadbook holder to today’s CNC masterpieces, every product we create is born from passion, tested in the lab, and proven in the toughest rallies on earth. At Aurora, innovation isn’t just technology, it’s care: every part traced, tested, and built to protect you and your bike when it matters most. We don’t just make motorcycle parts. We make memories, adventures, and stories—together.
We are proud to stand beside legends like Pål Anders Ullevålseter, Nicola Dutto, Antoine Meo, Maurizio Gerini, Alexander Smith, Alessandro Botturi and Anastasiya Nifontova, and equally proud of the countless privateers who trust us and share their journeys with us. They are family—and so are you.
Welcome to Aurora. Welcome to the family.

Market Leader
Aurora is moving into brand-new 500sqm (5,400 sq ft) headquarters—an upgrade that powers
our next chapter of innovation. With dedicated space for prototyping, R&D, and manufacturing,
the new facility brings all our advanced equipment and expanding team under one roof.
Bigger, stronger, and ready to push boundaries like never before. The HQV 701 Lite kit is complete
in collaboration with Dosmoto. The first rally kit for 701 to use molded ABS panels. In the coming
years this kit will dominate the rally arena. Anastasiya Nifontova completes Dakar in the Malle Moto
class and becomes the first woman in the world to complete the event in that class!
First participation in EICMA 2019. Aurora becomes the only rally kit manufacturer that exhibits products
and technologies in the Milan show.
Adaptation
Aurora’s R&D takes a leap forward with the addition of ±200g accelerometers, feeding data into MATLAB
to analyze vibration, frequency, and peak acceleration. Combined with CAD simulations, we can predict
fatigue life, run virtual back-to-back races, and design parts that are lighter, safer, and more reliable.
Our Magnetic Roadbook Mk2 proved itself with Alessandro Botturi’s Africa Eco Race victory—now lighter,
stronger, and built with full ceramic ball bearings. Expansion continues with the FARO Quantum Arm,
digitizing bikes with micron precision for perfect-fit parts. Soon after, the 790 Rally Kit is unveiled to the
world—instantly becoming a global success.
Product Expansion
Aurora is expanding into the Adventure world, bringing our rally kit expertise to the KTM, HQV, and GasGas
enduro range. The new Enduro Rally Kit debuts with the market’s only frame clamp featuring internal
spacers to protect the frame—backed by our lifetime guarantee. Alongside it comes the new full CNC
Enduro Tower. Inspired by the pioneering T700 tower, this three-piece design is ultralight, incredibly
strong, and built to perform in every condition. We’re also proud to support Nicola Dutto—the paraplegic
rider breaking boundaries—on his journey to finish the Africa Eco Race. His determination inspires us to
keep pushing limits, both in racing and in engineering.
The lightest tower in the world.
The Superlight kit is real! The full CNC tower now weights 848 grams reaching closer to the limit using
acceleration data that we have since 2017, this tower is the strongest and lighter unit ever produced.
The tower can be tuned depending on its application (racing, commuting, traveling) and the center of
gravity is further tuned. This is the first tower to have a full 3D resin printed cable cover.
Its center of gravity is so close to the frame of the bike that the tower is barely noticeable.The patent
pending Screen Safety System (S3) is now setting Aurora apart from the competition. A unique shield
made from Puig combined with the S3 will allow the screen to move out of the way if hit by the rider.
This way safety is increased and ergonomics are perfected as the rider can choose the screen position.
A new peel3D scanner is acquired. The new device will complement our FARO arm allowing us to create
a digital library of bikes, speeding up the design and manufacturing process!
GOING RACING
We expanded our R&D with two Peel 3 scanners, streamlining reverse engineering and elevating the fitment
of every part we make. These state-of-the-art units fully digitize bikes quickly and precisely, pushing our design
process further than ever—To infinity and beyond! The Ducati DesertX has become the star of the bivouac,
with its Dakar-inspired looks making it an instant hit. Aurora set out to create the ultimate version: a carbon fiber
tank with DNA’s through air filter, a monoblock navigation tower, and a redesigned air intake. At Hellas Rally
2023, Stefanos Theoharis rode the DesertX and pushed the machine through brutal conditions, proving its potential
before a crash on day 5 ended his ride.
Participating in EICMA for the second time in our history with our own booth was a gamechanger! We feel immensely
proud to one of the two Greek companies in attendance at the show and very grateful to have met many of you in person.
Not only we were able to showcase our unique bikes but we were also able to make important connections
that will take effect during 2024.
10 years already!
2024: A Year of Firsts
Aurora kicked off the year with the world’s first Norden 901 Rally, built with Husqvarna Greece.
Using Virtual Reality design, and working with C-Racer and Faretra Designs, we gave the 901 a
fresh look while honoring Husqvarna’s heritage. At the same time, we partnered with Suzuki Greece
to transform the V-Strom 800 DE into a true rally machine—again designed in VR to ensure precision
and innovation. Aurora made history as the first Greek company to showcase four unique bikes in
its own booth—each built to inspire a different kind of rider. The lineup featured the world’s first 901
Norden Rally with full carbon fiber fairings, the Suzuki V-Strom 800, Ducati DesertX, and the new
790/890 Rally Kit (2023–).
DesertX Beyond – With Ducati USA, Alexander Smith raced the Aurora-equipped DesertX Rally at the
Baja 1000, finishing 2nd overall with our carbon fiber tank and tower. In parallel, Entrophy Rally riders
Antoine Meo and Antonio Polidoro took multiple stage wins in the Motorally Championship, with Meo
finishing 3rd overall. We become the only aftermarket brand to be fetured in an official website as a
technical partner. Mille Gracie Ducati!
Kove 800 Rally – Together with Kove Italy, Aurora prepared the Kove 800 for the Africa Eco Race,
proving our adaptability on new platforms.
Greek Motorcycle Expo – Seven Aurora-equipped bikes, including the Norden, V-Strom and Yamaha T700
on official OEM stands, drew huge attention.
Hellas Rally 2024 – Two DesertX entries (Theocharis and Sinewan) plus the Norden and V-Strom and
two Yamaha T700s under OEM flags all finished strong—the Norden taking 3rd in M6.
Future Vision
Racing never stops. In Hellas Rally 2025, the M5 class was dominated by Aurora-equipped bikes:
3 Ducati DesertX, 2 Yamaha T700s, 1 Suzuki 800DE, 1 Kove 800 Rally, and 1 BMW F900GS.
Teaming up with Entrophy Rally, Maurizio Gerini rode our own DesertX to a hard-fought 5th place
— the top Greek team in the class. At the same time, we launched the Aurora Adventure Academy
powered by CFMOTO—teaching riders the art of safe adventuring, essential tools and tips, and
the magic of roadbook navigation with Carpe Iter tablets.
2025 marks a year of growth, reform, and new beginnings for Aurora.
