E*THIRTEEN RIDERS POISED TO DOMINATE MTB RACING IN 2012

 

Petaluma, California, March 13, 2012 – E*thirteen is currently sponsoring 20 professional teams, 130 professional individuals, and over 150 grassroots riders for the 2012 racing season. This year's international roster includes powerhouse racers from nearly every country and continent with a strong push into the Enduro/Trail MTB segment.

 

E*thirteen will provide these racers with a comprehensive mix of wheelsets, wheel components, pedals, cranksets, chainrings, chainguides, and drivetrain protection for use in professional competition worldwide. This is the first year that wheelsets and pedals will be raced outside of e*thirteen’s private testing riders.

 

“We have seen positive growth as a company in the past couple of seasons and were excited to be able to invest more money and deliver new product categories to racing this year,” remarked Joel Peters, head of e*thirteen’s global sales force. “We are committed to supporting and growing MTB racing worldwide to the fullest of our ability.”

 

E*thirteen and the Hive design and manufacture class-leading wheels, pedals, cranksets, chainrings, bottom brackets, drivetrain protection, and chain retention products for discerning cyclists worldwide.
