Tucker Powersports to Distribute Dainese and TCX products across North America

If there’s one things that’s been a god-send post-lockdown, it’s been the way that brands came together to continue to serve our good industry; of course, we’d have far less diversity in our bike lineups if distributors didn’t do what they do best – which is why we’re loving Tucker’s new move as the team that will be spreading Dainese and TCX products through North America.

The news was dropped after the partnership agreement was signed on December 7th; this means Dainese joins a long list of competitive brands, all working with Tucker to make our local market a diverse and wonderful place. 

“I’m excited about signing this agreement with Tucker Powersports, a new milestone in our journey of expansion and consolidation in North America,” enthuses Dainese Group’s CEO, Cristiano Sile. 

“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.”

Currently, Tucker has brands like Forcite under their wing, and celebrates a hefty influence in the electric industry, where names like FUELL also benefit from Tucker’s distribution network (via PRNewswire).

Stay tuned, as we’ll likely be getting an update on when Dainese’s gear will land in North America shortly after 2023 arrives. 

Meantime, we hope you have a great time with family and loved ones; the weekend is a few hours (ish) away, so drop a comment below and as ever – stay safe on the twisties!

Tucker Powersports to Distribute Forcite Products in Australia and America

What makes a brand successful, really? 

Is it the quality of the product itself, or perhaps the integrity and grit of the amazing team that contributes an unholy amount of time and energy behind the scenes? 

I would counter all the above, but that a massive percentage of success has to do with exposure, marketing and distribution licensing…which is why we were so jazzed to hear that Tucker Powersports will officially be the dealer for an Aussie smart lid that’s been making ripples since the unit sold out in under 30 minutes.

Forcite – known for their recent drop to the bike community, the MK1S Smart Helmet – will purportedly celebrate debuts for their products in both Australia and the U.S., with everything becoming available by 2023.

Suffice it to say Forcite Co-Founder Alfred Boyadgis is excited to see what’s next for the partnership. 

“We’ve created a motorcycle helmet that looks slick, and also packs a punch with cool features that lift the riding experience,” shrugs Boyadgis in the recent press release. 

“This new partnership with Tucker Powersports promises to deliver as both companies look to the future of what’s possible in the motorcycle category.”

“We are constantly seeking partners and products that enhance the adventure of riding a motorcycle,” adds Marc McAllister, the CEO of Tucker Powersports. 

“Forcite is clearly focused on that riding experience and on the future of our favorite pastime.” 

We look forward to seeing what these two bring to the proverbial table; in the meantime, check back for updates, drop a comment below letting us know what you think, and as always – stay safe on the twisties.
