It seems like every time you turn on the news, it's doom and gloom economically. But the ATV sector is still growing! Look at Texas's Hisun Motors- with sales growth of 371%, they've managed to attract some attention:

Based about 30 miles from my house for awhile now. Sounds like they've been selling some somewhere but haven't seen any down here,not that I've been looking that hard for them either..

 

I just don't see them as any threat to any of the big names. There will never be enough dealers to see real nationwide sales success. CF Moto is pretty much the same. Marginal success with a limited amount of dealers. They"ll never put a big dent in the overall market. And they have to price their units less than say a Yamaha(which it seems they copy so much to the point of gettng sued, hence the Grizzly knockoff in the pic) because their reputation for quality just isn't there. But not enough less that people won't pay extra to just buy the Grizzly intead.

 

Hisun Motors Corp., USA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hisun Motors Corp., which manufactures all Hisun products in a state-of-the-art 7.1 million square foot facility in Changshou, China.

They're still Chinese ATVs, final assembled in Texas from all Chinese parts.

P.S. If I had one I would have to drive about 90 miles each way just to get it serviced.

 

In my area, tractor supply and the Cabela's used to carry them, but getting service and parts was a big hassle so they sold out the remaining supply and quite selling them. After Bass Pro bought out cabelas, they dropped most of the Chinese products that cabela's offered, and resumed selling more American made products. I have heard that Cabela's was forced thru court to refund many of the UTV purchases because of lack of after sale product support. China has come along way in many ways but as far as atv's and utv's, they are not there yet. Do not get them confused with Taiwan and Korea, while both are Asian countries their quality control and engineering is far superior to anything made in China.

 

I don't know about Hisun but some other Chinese factories have been known to use slaves and child labor. There's no incentive for slaves to make a better product. It's not like they're going to get a raise.
