This is the first time Dymag has sponsored a complete race series, reflecting the importance of this level of motorcycle racing, for both rider development and to showcase what is for many the real Golden Era of Superbike racing. With Dymag's rich heritage and history in motorsport and the superbike classification the series incorporates, namely pre-2000 superbikes of 750cc, 950cc and 1000cc, the Golden Era superbike series is a perfect fit for us. As all of Dymag's wheel specifications are allowable in the Golden Era series, we have the opportunity to create a real heritage moment for the brand, showcasing the technical quality and competitive edge our wheels deliver for riders and their teams. Our firm sponsorship commitment to the Golden Era Superbike series will also be reflected in the winner's prize and the sponsorship deals we will make available to the individual racers and their supporters. Dymag Performance Wheels is looking forward to a fantastic championship season as we begin an exhilarating new chapter in our motorsport story." Although Dymag have an incredible heritage casting back over 40 years, you won't catch them sitting on their laurels, their focus is on the very latest in technology and innovation, their product range although already impressive, will continue to grow with the aid of ThundersportGB racers.
