Rotax
Rotax is an Austrian Engine manufacturer, founded in
1920 in
Dresden,
Germany. The first Rotax-engine was installed into a snowmobile of the
Canadian company
Bombardier Inc. in
1962. Eight years later, Rotax was bought by Bombardier, thus allowing Rotax to further develop its motorcycle motor section. The company constructed only
two-stroke engines until
1982, when it started building
four-stroke engines and aircraft engines.
Rotax:
- Sells engines to Italian Motorcycle Manufacturer Aprilia
- Sold engines to Canadian Can-Am (Both Rotax and Can-Am's parent company are/was Bombardier).
