Press Release

QTM Talon/Excel Wheels / QTM/Brembo Brakes

Los Angeles, CA- QTM supported riders Josh Hansen TLD/Red Bull Honda (Moto X Gold) and Kevin Johnson (Team Faith Yamaha) were the dominant riders at X Games XIV. QTM rider Ronnie Renner earns Silver in Step Up and Speed & Style.


Josh Hansen riding for the TLD Honda Team handily won his heat race and then dominated the Moto X Final riding on Talon/Excel wheels built by QTM. Hansen Honda was also using the QTM/Brembo Oversize Front Brake Kit. On a very slippery and technical track Hansen rode a consistent and mistake-free main event to capture his first X Games Gold!


Kevin Johnson’s ride to the Gold in Speed & Style was a shock to many, but certainly not to his team. Johnson worked hard to support his SX skills by putting a much focus on his Freestyle skills – it showed. Johnson also was using Talon/Excel wheels with custom red spokes on his Yamaha (again, supplied and built by QTM). Kevin was also using QTM/Brembo Oversize Brakes as he has been during the 2008 Arenacross Season.


After setting a new world record at the Red Bull Experiment last month, QTM sponsored Ronnie Renner was able to finish 2nd in Step Up to Ricky Carmichael. Ronnie also brought home Silver in Speed & Style. QTM built Renner some trick black Talon Hubs onto Excel A60’s with black nipples and custom Bulldog orange spokes for his KTM.


QTM would also like to congratulate Hart & Huntington riders Josh Demuth and Troy Adams for their Top 10 finishes in Moto X Final
