VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Damon Inc. (OTCID: DMNIF) ("Damon" or the "Company"), a designer and developer of electric motorcycles and other personal mobility products that seek to empower the personal mobility sector through innovation, today announced the commencement of full-scale clay modelling for its HyperSport Race motorcycle model. This key step moves the vehicle from digital concept to physical form and, more importantly, once completed, will represent the seamless integration of Damon's core technology asset, the Damon IO™ AI-enabled platform, with its flagship hardware design.

While the clay modelling phase is a traditional step in automotive design, Damon's approach is innovative. The HyperSport Race is engineered not just as a standalone motorcycle, but as the first expression of the Damon IO platform, an advanced, cloud-connected ecosystem that enhances rider safety, awareness, and connectivity. This process ensures that the ergonomics and aerodynamic profile of the bike are perfected to serve as the optimal counterparts for the technology within.

"This phase is where our software-defined vision meets the physical world," said Dom Kwong, Chief Executive Officer at Damon Inc. "We aren't just sculpting a beautiful machine; we are crafting the physical interface for our Damon IO platform. Every curve will be optimized not only for aerodynamics but to seamlessly integrate the technology that makes our riders safer and smarter. The HyperSport Race will serve as the proof point for this powerful synthesis of hardware and software."

The clay modelling process will continue through September 2025, setting the stage for subsequent development phases. This effort is a key component of Damon's cohesive strategy: developing a world-class superbike and a scalable, vehicle-agnostic tech platform in tandem. We believe this positions the company to become not just a producer of vehicles, but as a technology provider poised to define the future of personal mobility.
