HDX outboard motors are one of the most famous Chinese brands in the outboard motor segment, which appeared in the early 2010s. Since entering the market, these motors have gained popularity due to the combination of affordable price, reliability and ease of maintenance.

The HDX brand was originally created in China as a response to the growing demand for inexpensive but reliable outboard motors. Manufacturers sought to offer an alternative to Japanese engines Yamaha, Tohatsu, Suzuki, which were famous for their quality, but had a high cost.

One of the key features of HDX was the use of licensed technologies and copies of Japanese motors, which made them repairable and compatible with popular spare parts. This is especially important for users who require simple maintenance without the need to purchase expensive original components.

The production facilities are located in China, where a full assembly cycle has been established, including the manufacture of main components, testing and quality control. Since its inception, the brand has been actively entering the international market, offering a wide range of two-stroke and four-stroke engines with power from 2.5 to 40 hp.

The first HDX models were small two-stroke engines aimed at small inflatable boats and light vessels. However, seeing high demand, the company began to expand the model range, producing more powerful engines.

One of the significant stages in the development of the brand was the adaptation of engines to difficult operating conditions. Manufacturers paid attention to corrosion protection, an improved cooling system and increased fuel efficiency, which allowed HDX to compete with more famous brands.

Due to their availability, HDX engines quickly gained popularity among fishermen, tourists, hunters and owners of small vessels. Over time, the brand became one of the most recognizable among Chinese manufacturers of boat engines.
