Vins

What Vins does

Vins Srl, trading as Vins Motors, is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in Maranello within Italy's Motor Valley, founded in 2013 by Vincenzo Mattia, a former Ferrari engineer. The company designs and builds ultra-lightweight, high-performance motorcycles, with its core Duecinquanta platform consisting of the road-homologated Strada version and the track-only Competizione version. The defining technology is a self-supporting carbon fiber monocoque chassis with an integrated aerodynamic duct that houses the radiator, tank, and engine, paired with a proprietary 90-degree tandem V-Twin two-stroke engine featuring dual counter-rotating shafts, electronic fuel injection, and electronically controlled exhaust valves, producing 75 hp at 11,500 RPM in a package weighing under 105 kg (Strada) or under 102 kg (Competizione). In November 2019, Vins expanded its portfolio with the EV-01, an electric sport prototype using a Zero Motorcycle ZF75-5 powertrain (>70 hp, 125 mph top speed, sub-170 kg) while retaining the carbon monocoque chassis and a smartphone app for riding-mode adjustment.

Vins generates revenue exclusively through direct-to-consumer bespoke orders placed via its Maranello Atelier, with pricing not publicly disclosed and motorcycles individually specified with each customer; there is no dealer network. The company also operates a parallel engineering services division offering Catia V5 mechanical design, 3D scanning, rapid prototyping, 5-axis CNC, autoclave composites, and Bapro dyno-based engine development for external clients. Its primary customer segments are motorsport and racing enthusiasts and luxury motorcycle collectors who value extreme lightweight design and Italian craftsmanship, with secondary geographic reach into the UK market following January 2020 Ace Cafe London presentations and UK homologation of the Strada. Distribution and brand-building rely on a small set of high-prestige touchpoints — EICMA in Milan, Ace Cafe London, Misano MotoGP-adjacent events, and Motor Valley Association membership alongside Ferrari, Ducati, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Pagani — supplemented by a limited social media footprint.

The company has been financed primarily through non-dilutive Italian public funding: a 2017 POR-FESR Emilia-Romagna grant (ranked second overall in the regional automotive innovation call) supporting Duecinquanta industrialization, and a 2021 Invitalia Smart & Start grant that funded EV-01 development through completion. Vins remains a privately held Italian Srl with undisclosed headcount and revenue, operating at the scale of a boutique manufacturer rather than a scaled automotive OEM.
