Introducing Central Powersports
Distribution (CPD)
C
entral Powersports Distribu-
tion (CPD) is a new OEM
Motorcycle Distribution Center
opening in the heart of North
America. Located in Watertown,
South Dakota, CPD is made up
of the same staff that facilitated
the growth of Torrot GasGas
in North America up until the
acquisition of GasGas by Pierer
Mobility AG (KTM). CPD will
work with small European OEMs
and powersports accessories
manufacturers to bring their
products to the U.S. market.
The staff of Torrot GasGas in
the USA was a crucial part in
the resurgence of GasGas from
2016-2018, with revenue sales
increasing by over 200% just
prior to the financial constraints
that affected the parent company
in 2019. Mark Berg, the past
COO of Torrot GasGas, said,
"We worked really well as a team
for our parent company Torrot
GasGas, and we will continue to
do so as Central Powersports
Distribution moving forward.
Everyone here in South Dakota
really loves what they do, and
we have the experience and the
knowledge necessary to help
smaller European OEMs expand
to reach customers in the United
States."

bution (www.cpd.direct) has
