Quadzilla joins the Red Bull Pro Nationals train
By TMX Archives on 18th Feb 10
THE MC Federation has agreed an exciting new partnership with Quadzilla and White Knuckle Bikes Ltd for the Red Bull Pro Nationals motocross series.
Quadzilla, as the name suggests, is a giant player in off-road and road-legal quad bikes, so much so that it was the first company in the UK to sell road-legal quadricycles. However, the brand is bred from a racing background most of which comes from involvement with the off-road market. The company is also now moving into the two-wheel market with the ‘White Knuckle' brand.
In an exclusive sponsors partnership with the Red Bull Pro Nationals series, Quadzilla will supply the MCF with two vehicles to use on site for the track crew and for hospitality purposes as the series continues to drive forward to make UK motocross that little bit slicker. With all the event equipment that the Red Bull Pro Nationals carry with them to have the use of such vehicles on site will certainly help to keep the event preparations running smoothly so that the riders, fans and general public will get the most out of their weekend.
This is a point that MCF chairman, Matt Bates, feels is really important: "To have this kind of support from Quadzilla is brilliant for us. Laying on these events involves a great deal of logistics. We are trying our utmost to take motocross to the public without losing the ethos of the sport, so we need to have a circuit that's up to scratch for the riders and also all the extra things that will create that festival feel we're after.
"That means a lot of equipment to be shifted from A to B on site and having the use of these 4x4 vehicles and quads will help us tremendously. It's great to have a company like Quadzilla share our desire to create these events and I'd like to thank them for that.”
