How big is the digital opportunity for motorcycle gear?

The sector has grown its organic footprint by 7 % year‑on‑year, pulling in tens of millions of monthly searches across helmets, jackets and on‑bike tech. Yet 38 % of brands lost visibility in the last 12 months, proving there’s still plenty of track left to conquer. Search intent also skews commercial: terms with “buy”, “cheap” or “best” appear in three of the four fastest‑rising keyword clusters.

 

Which motorcycle accessory brands dominate organic visibility in 2025?

Rank Brand Estimated monthly organic traffic
1 Sportsbikeshop 216,887
2 J&S Accessories 113,786
3 Triumph Motorcycles 83,729
4 Belstaff 79,225
5 Demon Tweeks 65,785
6 Fox Racing 54,027
7 Infinity Motorcycles 47,916
8 Winstanley Bikes 37,213
9 Quadlock Case 33,142
10 24MX 29,506

If your traffic’s taken a hit, don’t beat yourself up about it. The last 6 months have brought more seismic quakes to search than we’ve seen in the past 6 years combined. SGE, AI overviews, helpful content updates, Core Web Vitals getting stricter, SERP features evolving constantly – it’s been a proper whirlwind that’s rattled nearly everyone.

While it’s easy to throw your hands up and complain about Google moving the goalposts again, that won’t get you anywhere. This isn’t all doom and gloom, and yes, you can absolutely turn this around.

There could be a thousand reasons why your traffic’s dropped – maybe your pages are loading like molasses, perhaps your content’s gotten too thin across categories, could be you’re not targeting what people are actually searching for, maybe you’re just not diving deep enough into topics to show real expertise, or maybe the cause lies out of your hands completely. I wouldn’t want to assume what’s hitting you specifically.

But if you’re in this boat, here’s where I’d start: focus on building genuine, human-first topical authority. Go deep on subjects that matter to your audience, create content that demonstrates real expertise, and make sure you’re covering topics semantically – not just chasing individual keywords but understanding the full landscape of what your audience needs to know.

 

Who owns brand awareness — and why it matters for SEO

Brand signals now influence everything from traditional SERPs to AI answers. Triumph Motorcycles tops pure search demand with 22.2 k brand searches per month, but note how Alpinestars (8,180 owned‑social score) and Fox Racing (9,031) punch well above their weight on social, earning extra E‑E‑A‑T cred. Meanwhile Sportsbikeshop dwarfs the field on review volume — 136 k reviews at 4.9★ — feeding Google a wall of first‑party proof that real riders love the shop.

To calculate this figure, we blend branded search metrics with the performance and reach of social channels for brands across the sector.

Owned social score considers followers and engaged conversations on all major social platforms.  A strong owned audience now influences SEO more than ever—brand queries feed Google’s entity understanding, soften the impact of core updates and now, social content such as TikTok videos and Instagram reels are starting to be pulled into the SERP!

Data shows only a loose correlation between the sheer number of referring domains and traffic.
