Volume Key to Economical GS Battery Stock, says Maxxis

While Maxxis has been making strides as a tyre brand over recent years, the UK company says it continues to meet market demand for “affordable motorcycle and ATV batteries” with GS brand and its own Powerite range. “In excess of 90 GS products are available through Bickers [a division of Maxxis International UK], all of which come with a standard two-year warranty. Understandably, there is a price premium on batteries of this quality, but because we deal in such high volumes it is much less than people might think,” says Maxxis International UK’s managing director Derek McMartin.
