In addition to VeloVie, Essor USA joined the HITS Triathlon Series as Official Bike Accessory Sponsor. Offering the finest carbon fiber bike products at reasonable prices, Essor USA was created by passionate cyclist and industry professionals. They provide carbon fiber components, accessories and apparel that take the art of cycling to a whole new level.
Essor USA, like their sister company VeloVie, “Is the perfect fit for anyone – those just beginning the cycling experience and those who want to intensify their competitive potential,” added Farsi. “We have high performance upgrades at prices that won’t break the bank. Our commitment to athletes is demonstrated through our rewards programs, outstanding warranty and customer service. Together with HITS, we will empower athletes to take their training and racing to great heights.”
With three successful years of racing behind them and growing numbers, HITS Triathlon Series is dedicated to aligning with sponsors that are dedicated to exceptional service, value-driven pricing, customization and proven dedication to the sport. Both VeloVie and Essor USA exemplify these values, in keeping with HITS’ own.
HITS North Country 140.6 champion Adam Folts can speak for this. “VeloVie and Essor are great companies for every athlete. They offer the same material and components as other competing brands at half the price.” Folts added, “They both offer top-notch products at a fraction of the cost. That is something I can stand (or swim, bike and run) behind.”
While established in 2011, HITS Triathlon Series has quickly made its mark, gaining momentum and recognition in the multisport community, winning the support of both industry and mainstream sponsors. “It’s rewarding to see HITS’ sponsorships grow with our races,” noted Thomas Struzzieri, HITS president and CEO. “Partnering with companies as dedicated to advancing triathlon as we are, such as Velovie and Essor, benefits athletes and the sport in general. Our participants will appreciate their meticulous craftsmanship and value.”
