FRANK STACY JOINS TREK BICYCLE<br />
Rubber Revolutionary Now Exclusively Developing Bontrager Tires<br />
(Waterloo, WI) – Renowned independent tire consultant, Frank Stacy, has signed on as the latest<br />
member of the Bontrager Tire Development Team and its parent company TREK <strong>Bicycle</strong>s, to design,<br />
test, and develop tires exclusively for Bontrager-sponsored race teams and riders the world over.<br />
As one of the leading tire developers across the entire spectrum of two-wheeled vehicles, Stacy<br />
brings not only his well-respected name and reputation but also an invaluable 30 years of research<br />
and development experience. “Frank is one of the most respected tread designers in the entire<br />
industry. His engineering of compounds and understanding of testing is going to be pivotal to the<br />
future of Bontrager tires,” said Al Clark, Bontrager Product Manager.<br />
While his initial focus will be working primarily on Bontrager’s mountain bike tire line, Stacy’s<br />
impact will soon be felt throughout the entire brand’s collection. In addition to working with the<br />
Bontrager Tire Development Team, Stacy will also collaborate with <strong>Trek</strong>’s Suspension Development<br />
Program based in Southern California and manned by suspension guru, Jose Gonzalez. “Tires are<br />
the 1 st means of suspension and are directly coupled to the suspension feel. Having Frank on-board<br />
allows us to go to the next level in mountain bike trail performance by better blending suspension<br />
and tire characteristics,” remarked Gonzalez.<br />
“<strong>Trek</strong> is an amazing company that believes in tire development for their riders and race teams and<br />
becoming part of their vision is an awesome opportunity,” commented Stacy.<br />
