By Réhann Coetzee

In May we reported that Touratech, one of the best-known suppliers of motorcycle accessories, has appointed Bike Adventure Imports (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of GPS4AFRICA, as their new authorised importer and sole distributor for the entire range of Touratech products in South Africa and the Sub-Saharan region of Africa.

Pauli Massyn, owner of GPS4AFRICA, has just announced that the new Touratech shop is almost ready for business.

“Touratech South Africa will open its shop doors on Saturday 1 September and everyone is invited. Come and experience the new Touratech showroom like it has never been seen in Africa before!”

The shop is situated right next to GPS4AFRICA, in the shop that GPS4AFRICA grew into in 2013.

“Everyone is welcome to join us for the opening. Please RSVP on our event so that we can make sure we don’t run out of boerewors rolls and cold refreshments,” he says.

Touratech was founded in 1990 in Germany and is a leading manufacturer of adventure motorcycle equipment. With an innovative and constantly developed product portfolio that covers the entire needs around adventure riding, Touratech products are highly appreciated by adventure riders and world travellers from all over the world.

Touratech has had mixed results in appointing distributors in South Africa in the past. At the announcement of the new distributor in May, Martin Wickert, chief marketing officer of Touratech GmbH said that South Africa is one of the largest and most exciting adventure motorcycle markets in the world with a very active and passionate rider community.

“We are very pleased to have GPS4AFRICA as our new business partner. With GPS4AFRICA’s extensive experience in the adventure motorcycle market, we are convinced that their service and quality standards are the best fit for us in the South African market – which Touratech is known for in many countries around the world,” Wickert said.
