KYMCO USA has announced an agreement with Kolpin Powersports that will expand the accessories options available for KYMCO ATVs and UTVs. This exclusive partnership gives KYMCO dealers across the US the ability to sell Kolpin’s industry-leading line of accessories. It also calls for the two companies to develop a line of co-branded items exclusive to KYMCO.

The program will be rolled out in three phases over the next 12-18 months. Initially KYMCO USA will distribute the full line of Kolpin ATV/UTV accessories through its dealer network. In phase two Kolpin will develop specialized packages specific to KYMCO models, specifically the new MXU 375 4×4 and UXV 500 side-by-side. KYMCO and Kolpin will then go on to jointly develop proprietary accessories unique to KYMCO. These will be co-branded by the two companies.

“We are very pleased to partner with an industry leader like Kolpin. We’ve been developing a strategy to offer our dealers best-in-class products and Kolpin is clearly a great choice to assist us in solidifying this strategy”, said Eric Bondy, President & CEO of KYMCO USA.

According to Tom Lutes, President & CEO of Kolpin Powersports, “When we decided to strategically go after an import brand as an additional avenue in the market, KYMCO was the only one we considered. That’s a testament to what they have achieved as far as credibility. They were our first target and our only target.”

The joint agreement was announced by Bondy and Lutes at the KYMCO USA national dealer meeting, where it was met with an extremely positive reception. At that time KYMCO also unveiled its new UXV 500 side x side and the all-new MXU 375 with electronic, shift-on-the-fly 4 WD and fully independent suspension front and rear.

The Kolpin brand is steeped in a tradition of innovation, quality, and reliability. The company was founded in 1943, and Kolpin products have moved forward for over 60 years, making them the industry’s trusted outfitter for outdoor adventures, farm work and construction.
Their joint agreement provides an opportunity for both Kolpin and KYMCO USA to continue to deliver highly engineered and innovative products to the powersports market.

Kolpin Powersports® Inc, the leader in ATV/UTV accessories, is outfitting you with yet another rugged innovation for your ATV and UTV.

It is often said that loud exhaust is the largest issue in the recreational world of ATV/UTV riding. The Stealth Exhaust 2.0 design allows recreational ATV/UTV riders to enjoy their sport and still comply with trail and state regulations by significantly reducing exhaust noise without sacrificing riding performance. And they are not the only ones that enjoy the benefits of the Stealth Exhaust System … The Stealth Exhaust System reduces ATV/UTV exhaust noise by up to 50% or 5-7 decibels which can make the difference between spooking that trophy game or bagging that trophy for many sportsmen.

The Stealth Exhaust system is easy to install on any ATV/UTV with a 4-stroke engine and it can be just as easily removed if desired. No need for cumbersome welding or vehicle modifications, all mounting hardware is included with easy to follow installation instructions. The new Stealth 2.0 utilizes the same rugged and durable all-steel design of the original Stealth but in a much smaller and even more quietly effective size.

There is only one choice when it comes to ATV/UTV exhaust silencers and that choice is clear – the Kolpin Stealth Exhaust 2.0. All-Terrain Innovation.
