TechSpec Canada and Motocross Racer Liam O’Farrell Team Up for 2011 MX Season

OTTAWA, ON. CANADA
– February 14, 2011
Mike Rice, Director of Marketing and
Sponsorships for Lean Angle Canada,
the exclusive Canadian distributor of TechSpec Gripster Grip Pads, is proud to
welcome South African MXer Liam O'Farrell to our team for 2011. 
Liam’s sponsorship also aligns with a price reduction on all models of
TechSpec Gripsters grip pads.





O'Farrell will be competing as a Pro in the 2011 Ontario and Quebec Provincial Motocross
series in the Pro MX1 class with the Orange Motorsports Team aboard a KTM 450
SX-F. The Port Rowan, ON based rider will also compete in select rounds of the
2011 CMRC Monster Energy Motocross Nationals.





He has accomplished much over his nineteen years of racing
internationally including, winning both the 2007 South African MX1 and MX2
National Motocross Champions. In 2010 O'Farrell wrapped up his season 11th overall in the MX1
Pro CMRC Monster Energy Motocross Nationals and he has been working extremely
hard to prepare for the upcoming season.





TechSpec Gripster grip pads have been traditionally thought of as a
product for sport bike riders. This past year many of our sponsored road racers
had outstanding seasons including: Andrew Nelson - 2nd overall in the Parts
Canada Superbike Championship, Steven Nickerson – 3rd overall in the
Canadian Amateur Sport Bike Championship and Mike Bevan – S.O.A.R. Expert
Superbike Championship and 600 Championship.





Gripsters are engineered to improve control and technique on a variety
of powersports machines including motocross and enduro motorcycles as well as
ATVs. The TechSpec Gripster grip pads have also been proven to enhance body positioning,
reduce fatigue, and protects a rider’s tank or body work without harming
their gear. The proprietary "Releasable/Reusable" adhesive ensures
that riders can remove, adjust and reposition the grip pads to suit their
particular riding style.





In conjunction with the introduction of TechSpec Gripster grip pads to
the Canadian Motocross scene, through Liam’s sponsorship, Lean Angle Canada is
extremely proud to announce that the retail price of the pad kits will be
reduced effective February 14th, 2011.  Customers will need to contact
their local dealer to find out how much they are going to save.





“A combination of a stronger Canadian dollar and benefits
realized from the HST has allowed us to pass on savings to the people who
matter the most to us; the Canadian motorcycle rider.  By reducing our
pricing on Gripster grip pads Lean Angle and our valued dealers anticipate that
now, more than ever, all riders will be able to experience the benefits of our
pads.” stated Steve Reed, President, Lean Angle Canada. “Ultimately
it will also benefit our dealers who are at the very heart and soul of the
motorcycle community. They add value to the product, are the face of the
industry to the customer and important to their local economies.”





Lean Angle Canada
hopes that everyone will join them in and cheering on Liam this season and are
extremely proud to have such a great racer as an ambassador of the TechSpec
brand.





“The product feels amazing, it is strong and gives great grip on
the bike, allowing me to have more control of my bike.” said O'Farrell
“I'm really looking forward to riding for TechSpec and representing this
great product for the 2011 season.”
