Upgrade Bikes becomes exclusive UK distributor for HKT

HKT is joining the Upgrade Bikes portfolio of brands with immediate effect, available to the UK dealer network.

As seen at the latest COREbike show, alongside fellow recent signing SeaSucker, the HKT range is now in stock and available to UK shops via the distributor.

HKT designs and manufactures bike frame protection kits in varying sizes, along with easy-fit fork mudguards and rear mudguards suitable for all bikes. HKT’s entire bike protection range is manufactured in its own facility in Sheffield, UK.

HKT Protect™ utilises a carefully selected material that balances protection, malleability and a quality that will last the life of your bike. HKT’s clear bike frame protection kits are universal and designed to fit everything from a steel hardtail, or an urban, gravel or mountain bike, right through to the latest eBikes and downhill rigs.

Mark Noble from Upgrade said: “Adding HKT to our product range creates a great upsell for any bike shop – all riders want to protect their bikes and their paint finish, and installing a clear HKT protection kit is by far the easiest and most cost-effective way of doing just that. Plus, riders wanting to stand out and add some personal flare to their bikes can choose a coloured HKT kit with a choice of graphic patterns. We rate them so much that we’ve created a DMR Bikes HKT kit right away, and they look great. HKT mudguards are simple to fit, the product quality is excellent, and the price is right. It’s a win/win stock item for bike shops.”

Davi Birks from HKT confirmed: “We’re super stoked to be partnering with Upgrade Bikes. We’ve been waiting for the right partner to come along, and it’s great to now be working with such an awesome team. We love working with great people, and we’re excited to get cracking and bring our products to even more retailers across the UK.”
