Loncin Canada

I stopped by and visited the Canadian Loncin importer, Loncin Distribution (Canada) Inc. They have a 17,000 sq. ft. warehouse with parts, bikes, and atv's. I've actually visited this company in the past, when they were carrying different brands, and operating under their dealer name Muddy Motors. They've dealt with Lifan, X-Rage, and Hyosung, among others, finally settling on Loncin, with quality as the main deciding factor. I have to agree with them on this, the quality on these bikes look top notch. They've got over 40 dealers across Canada, focusing on the dual sport, off road, and ATV products. At this time I don't believe they're planning on importing the street models. As well as their distribution company, they are still running the local Loncin dealer under the name Muddy Motors.

Loncin.ca is operated by Loncin Distribution (Canada) Inc. in British Columbia, Canada. Loncin Distribution (Canada) Inc. started out 10 years ago as a used parts dealer for dirt bikes, and is now the largest dealer in Western Canada.

Five years ago, we started importing new bikes and ATVs and tried several different brands before discovering Loncin. Loncin is by far the best value on the market – a quality product at a reasonable price.

On their website they've got a full list of parts, with diagrams available to be ordered online for all of their models. This seems like an excellent step in the right direction for a Chinese motor-sport product line.

The bikes have modern styling, and the build quality looks to be really good.



They've got braided brake lines, and a very good looking axle / chain adjustment setup. The electronic speedometer is run off the back wheel.



The speedometers, tach, and odometer are digital, with backlighting.



Here they are lined up, the 250 on the right, 150 in the middle, and I believe the one on the left is a 150 also.



The muffler looks pretty sharp too, as well as the tail lights.



They've also got their atv's out.



I got to test ride the 300cc ATV as well as the 250 dirt bike...

I'm not very experienced riding atv's but this one seemed to have lots of power and was comfortable to ride.

The 250 dirt bike was awesome, not only in it's appearance and quality build, but the ride as well. The seat on it is a welcomed change from my newest Lifan which has a rock hard seat, this Loncin was very soft, and comfortable. The 250 was not broken in yet but still had lot's of power available, with the 1 down 4 up shift pattern.

Another important thing to mention, which is a welcomed change to see for a Chinese product line is that they have full SERVICE manuals for all of their products, which all of their dealers have for the products they sell, and which can be purchased as a customer.

Loncin, and more specifically Loncin Distribution (Canada) Inc, really have got a great product line, and are extremely well organized. It isn't often to find parts or service information as readily available from other manufactures, two thumbs up for Loncin.
