Quality Bicycle Products named as the U.S. Distributor for Trust Performance
(Salt Lake City, UT – March 20, 2019) - Trust Performance, industry pioneers in suspension design, today announced a partnership with Quality Bicycle Products to distribute Trust Performance products in the United States. The Message, Trust Performance's debut multi-link front suspension design, is available for dealer order starting today.
"We're excited to offer retailers easy access to this new and radical suspension concept," said Tyler Denniston, Distribution Product Manager at QBP. "Trust Performance is a new brand; however, we've worked for years with the company leadership and have full confidence in their long-term success. Retailers can rely on QBP for fast and reliable fulfillment of this breakthrough suspension."
QBP started in St. Paul, MN in 1981 and has grown to become the bike industry's largest distributor of bicycle parts and accessories. With distribution centers in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Nevada, QBP serves a network of more than 5,000 independent retailers.
"Working with top distributors is a focus for Trust Performance and our partnership with QBP demonstrates our commitment to this," remarked Rob Aguero, Global Sales Manager at Trust Performance. "QBP has proven to be an industry leader and to say we're excited to be a part of their catalog is an understatement."
Trust Performance launched its first multi-link front suspension design, the Message, in October of 2018. Selected as Pinkbike's 2018 Product Innovation of the Year, the Message is a notable departure from traditional telescopic suspension design allowing the front wheel to move up and away from an obstacle simultaneously. It delivers 130mm of contour travel through a Trust Performance engineered twin-tube thru-shaft damper and features a full-carbon chassis, steerer, and links. As a result, the Message is competitively lightweight and resoundingly stiff.
Trust Performance is expanding its distribution network to additional countries, recently establishing distribution partnerships with Mohawk's Cycles in France, R-Cycles in Switzerland, Upgrade Bikes in the United Kingdom, Unsprung in Singapore and 4guimp in Italy. International distributors with interest in learning more about partnership opportunities are encouraged to reach out to Trust Performance at sales@trustperformance.com.
