Česká Zbrojovka, produced motorcycles in Czechoslovakia from 1935 to 1997, expanding from its origins as a firearms and industrial manufacturer. The company became known for lightweight and mid-displacement motorcycles such as the CZ 76, CZ 98, CZ 125, CZ 150, and CZ 175, which earned a reputation for reliability, simplicity, and robust engineering. Following World War II, motorcycle production was transferred to the Strakonice division, which continued under the CZ brand. Characterized by durable construction, practical design, and an important role in the development of Czechoslovak motorcycling, Česká Zbrojovka remains a significant name in European industrial and motorcycle history.
