KMC coming to UK and Ireland cycle trade via Extra and Cyclex
Extra UK has revealed it will be handling the distribution of KMC Chains, Sprockets and Cassettes for the UK and – via Irish subsidiary Cyclex – Ireland.
KMC is the world’s largest chain manufacturer with more than 40 years of experience and products focused on functionality, maximum durability and universal compatibility. The firm also focuses on constant innovation, aimed at being a true market leader in drivetrain technology.
Product quality is KMC’s priority, with many field tests showing their chains last much longer than comparable chains, we’re told. While KMC is best known for chains, this level of dedication and focus also extends to their range of cassettes, chainrings, sprockets and tools.
“KMC is a great addition to our brand portfolio and further strengthens our workshop offering which includes Enduro Bearings, Jagwire, Motorex and more,” said Mark Greshon, Head of Brands at Extra UK. “Our workshop focused area at COREbike was a huge success this year and highlighted the importance of us offering the best workshop and replacement part brands to our customers. The KMC line-up features a wide range of compatibility, technologies and price points that will appeal to most bike shops and consumer’s needs.”
Rob Compass, After Market Sales Manager at KMC Europe, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Extra UK as our new UK & Ireland distributor. At KMC, we value partnerships that enhance our reach and strengthen our service, and with Extra UK’s dedicated team, we are poised to achieve just that. Their commitment to quality and service aligns perfectly with our mission to provide top-notch products and support to resellers. Together, we look forward to setting new standards in the industry and achieving great success. Welcome aboard, Extra!”
A wide range of KMC stock is already in stock and available from Extra UK and Cyclex with more on the way. Dealers can contact their Area Sales Manager or visit www.extrauk.co.uk or www.cyclexie.ie to view the range.
