What Arrow does
Arrow Special Parts S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer specializing in street-legal and racing exhaust systems for motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds. Founded in 1985 and headquartered at Via Citernese 128/130, San Giustino (PG), Italy, the company designs, produces, and distributes a portfolio of exhaust components — including silencers, collectors, mid-pipes, complete racing systems, and complementary steering-damper accessories — using titanium, aluminum, carbon fiber, Kevlar, and stainless steel. The product offering is organized across multiple specialized lines (Limited Series, Extreme, Street 2T, All-Road 2T, Maxi Scooter, Race-Tech, Maxi Race-Tech, Enduro Alumilite, Paris Dakar Replica, and Collettori), with both homologated road-legal variants and non-homologated racing variants carried per line.
The company distributes exclusively through a global network of authorized dealers rather than via direct-to-consumer channels. A B2B restricted-area portal provides dealers with pricing, approval paperwork, spare-parts lists, and CSV product-data downloads; pre- and post-sale assembly support and the Official Arrow Warranty are delivered through trained dealer staff. Brand activity extends beyond the core "Arrow" label into a group structure that retains Mohican Exhaust and Giannelli as related sub-brands, with Arrow Racing focused on competitive motorcycle applications. Geographic reach is concentrated in Europe, supported by a multi-language website (Italian, English, Spanish, French) that hosts a dealer locator, downloadable catalogues, and an outlet section for end-of-line products.
Arrow is privately held by founder Giorgio Giannelli, with no disclosed external institutional investment, M&A activity, or public listing. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales to dealers, with no subscription or recurring component and no publicly disclosed pricing. The business model is fundamentally an industrial B2B manufacturer operating behind a captive dealer-channel distribution layer in a niche aftermarket segment of the global motorcycle parts industry.
