KENDA – Designed for Your Journey. The Taiwanese manufacturer is best known for its K333 Whitewall Tyre – a long-standing bestseller at SIP Scootershop. But its other tyres also impress with their excellent value for money and high quality. It is no coincidence that Peugeot and Kymco, for example, fit their scooters with KENDA tyres as standard.

KENDA – A rapid rise
KENDA was founded in Yuan-Lin, Taiwan, in 1962 and initially produced bicycle tyres. Eight years later, the product range was expanded to include motorbike tyres. This also laid the foundations for the development of scooter tyres. In the late 1970s and 1980s, KENDA also produced tyres for caravans and agricultural vehicles. In 1985, the second factory in Taiwan was opened.
Following its stock market flotation in the early 1990s, KENDA expanded relentlessly: further production facilities were opened in China and Vietnam. With the establishment of the “American Tire and Wheel Company” and various company acquisitions, the US market was conquered. Another milestone was the production of radial tyres for passenger cars in 2001. A good ten years later, KENDA Europe was launched in Germany, and new production facilities were established in Indonesia and Vietnam. In 2010, KENDA ranked 27th among tyre manufacturers worldwide. In 2016, construction began in Winsen (Luhe), Lower Saxony, on the “KENDA Europe Technical Centre”, the company’s European research and development hub.
KENDA is a success story with no end in sight.
“KENDA offers good value for money. Especially when you’re riding the small 8-inch Tyres, the rear Tyre needs to be changed relatively often. And that’s where KENDA is an affordable alternative.”
– André Jueterbock, SIP product developer and DBM racer
