Key Highlights
- Podium finishes were secured in all three Bagger Racing League categories: Pro Stock Bagger, Bagger GP, and Super Street Bagger.
- Racers Jake Masters, Cody Gilmore, and Brendan Foley utilized Hayes Alpha calipers for their winning performances.
- The partnership between Hayes and Suburban Motors Harley-Davidson spans 12 years.
- The same high-performance Hayes products used by the race team are now available to the public.
A Winning Partnership
The collaboration is championed by Joe Houpt, owner of Suburban Motors Harley-Davidson, who builds the racing bikes and attends every race. According to Houpt, Hayes has consistently delivered exceptional calipers and brake pads for their baggers over their 12-year relationship, leading to top results with zero complaints. He noted the growing consumer demand for these products, previously available only as original equipment. “We’re excited to spread the word that, starting this year, the same products our racers use will now be available to the public,” Houpt stated. “It’s been a great experience to partner with them.”
Proudly Sponsoring High-Impact Performance
For Hayes, sponsorships serve as a crucial testing ground for product development under extreme conditions. “We take our sponsorships seriously and consider them a winning opportunity to consistently test our products under high-impact performance conditions,” said Hayes CEO & President Philip Malliet. He emphasized that the company values the input from its sponsored athletes. “These racers are talented and hard-working, and we are proud to see them succeed with podium finishes.”
A Celebration of Continued Success
The successful collaboration reflects a shared commitment to excellence and innovation. “Suburban Harley has a long-standing reputation for excellence, and it is a privilege to collaborate with their talented race team,” said Hayes Product Manager Travis Koeppen. He highlighted the rewarding experience of seeing sponsored athletes succeed while ensuring rider safety and showcasing the company’s Race to Road developmental approach.
