ProTaper has announced the renewal of its original equipment supply agreement with KTM AG, Europe’s leading producer of high-performance motorcycles. “We are extremely pleased to continue our relationship with KTM AG,” said Bob Schuetz, President of Turn 14 Powersports. “This is a strong validation of ProTaper’s engineering, manufacturing quality and reputation among serious off-road riders. We’re proud that KTM’s top 250’s and 450’s will carry the ProTaper brand with them to purchasers around the world.”
Under the new multi-year agreement, ProTaper will continue supplying OE handlebars and ProTaper-branded handlebar pads for select KTM 250cc and 450cc off-road motorcycles. The handlebars and pads will be installed during KTM’s motorcycle production process, giving riders ProTaper components directly from the factory.
The renewed agreement continues the nearly 20-year OEM relationship between two companies with deep roots in motocross and off-road competition and reinforces ProTaper’s position as a leader in performance handlebar technology.
“OE partnerships provide an opportunity for us to work closely with leading motorcycle manufacturers and demonstrate what ProTaper engineering can deliver,” concludes Schuetz. “We look forward to supporting KTM and its riders throughout the term of this new agreement.”
