Tucker Powersports has entered an exclusive agreement to distribute Dainese’s dynamic range of motorcycle products to its network of dealers in the United States. The multi-year agreement includes leather and textile riding gear, boots and Dainese's protective armor and D-Air jackets and airbag vests. The agreement also includes the distribution of TCX road, off-road and urban footwear.
“I’m excited about signing this agreement with Tucker Powersports, a new milestone in our journey of expansion and consolidation in North America,” comments Dainese Group CEO Cristiano Silei. “The US market has always played a crucial role for our group and I’m sure that choosing a distributor with such a widespread, structured sales network will allow us to achieve increasingly ambitious goals.”
"We're thrilled to add Dainese to our roster of great partner companies," adds Tucker President and CEO Marc McAllister. "Our dealer network will make Dainese products easily available to riders looking for high-quality riding and protective gear."
Founded by Lino Dainese in Molvena, Italy in 1972, Dainese is a leader in the development of protective apparel for active sports. The current motorcycle product line includes D-Air airbag jackets and vests, a product made famous by MotoGP riders Valentino Rossi and Joan Mir. Dainese also has numerous styles of leather and textile suits, jackets, pants and gloves, boots and urban footwear.
"The range of products that this partnership brings to Tucker is outstanding,” concludes Tucker's Director of Business Development Jamie Kempinski. "Dainese's reputation for quality and their eye for style has all of us excited about adding their full motorcycle product line to our portfolio." Products will be available through Tucker later this year and Dainese will be in Booth #5099 during AIMExpo.
