Tucker Powersports & SBS

Tucker Adds SBS

Tucker Powersports has taken on U.S. distribution of Danish made SBS Friction brake products for motorcycle and ATV/UTV models in the United States.
"The addition of Tucker Powersports as SBS distributor is an important step in making SBS a relevant and preferred brake parts supplier across the U.S.," said SBS CSO Christel Munk Pedersen.






"For many years Tucker Powersports has been a major player in the U.S. market. Its wide dealership network with thousands of points-of-sale and progressive dealership support, as part of Tucker Powersports' new strategy, are just some of the reasons why we think that this collaboration is an ideal match."


Tucker Powersports will be handling the entire SBS product portfolio, including brake rotors, clutch kits and standard, upgrade and performance brake pads for motorcycles and ATV, UTV and SSV. As an industry-first, SBS brake pads are quality certified according to ECE R90, and both its organic and new sinter material brake pads are offered with NUCAP NRS technology - which secures an indestructible mechanical bond of the compound to the brake pad backing plate.


"Tucker Powersports is a trusted American brand with a significant presence since the 1970s. Tucker’s professional sales representatives have played a vital role in the success of many premium brands over the past 50 years. We believe that their ambitious sales representatives will enable SBS to build an enhanced presence and profile in the U.S. market," said Christel.
For Tucker, VP of Sales Brad Turner said: "We are delighted to partner with SBS Friction, one of the world's largest suppliers of brake pads and accessories for motorcycles and UTVs. SBS is a globally important premium brand and the quality, performance and range of their products is perfect for the dealers we serve."

JIMS

M-8 Transmission Rebuild Kits

Camarillo, California based JIMS did not cut any corners when developing its M-8 specific rebuild kits for the Cruise Drive transmission


"Designed around the best available components on the market, including all of the necessary bearings, clips, locks, gaskets and seals - all under one part number - these kits save the technician valuable time and therefore save your customer money.
"Trying to source over 50 individual pieces when rebuilding a transmission is daunting in the extreme - we've tried it and that is what led us to develop this kit. One part number, one price and you are ready to rebuild."

Energy One

Energy One Clutch Packs

With more than 30 years experience in the high-performance motorcycle and automotive clutch industry, Energy One "is the optimum choice for replacement clutch plates and components for customers' Harleys," says HardDrive's V-twin Product Director Krys Brown.


"All Energy One clutch plates and components are 100% manufactured in the USA by skilled American craftsmen using only the latest tools and CNC equipment. All its Big Twin kits are complete and include a full set of performance friction plates with a maximum oil circulation groove pattern for heat dissipation and fluid circulation - the steady flow of lubricant will cool and determine the longevity of the clutch.
"They have a core of either 6061 T6 aluminum or high tempered steel for maximum durability, along with their race proven friction material. All Energy One steel plates are made with a high tempered steel and are vibratory deburred for extreme flatness - for positive engagement and performance."
All Energy One Big Twin kits containing both steel and friction plates have a pre-set clutch pack height (to the stock specification) for quick, convenient installation, "and the ultimate in reliability under all street or racetrack conditions. Big ponies need Energy One clutches to get the power to the transmission," says Krys.
WPS/HardDrive ships to its dealers in the United States from some one million plus sq ft of distribution center space at facilities in Midway, Georgia; Fresno, California; Midlothian, Texas; Ashley, Indiana; Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania and its Boise, Idaho headquarters.
