SSR IS POWERING UP WITH NEW VP!

SANTA FE SPRINGS, CA (August 30, 2023)

SSR Motorsports’ founder William Li has announced that Greg Blackwell has been hired as the company’s new vice president of sales and marketing. Blackwell has over 30 years of experience in the powersports industry, including positions with Hisun Motors USA, KTM North America, LeMans Corp./Parts Unlimited and Metzeler Motorcycle Tire North America.

“Greg brings exceptional knowledge and powersports experience to this important leadership role based on his strong dealer and interpersonal relationships, and the fact that he is, at his core, a true powersports enthusiast,” said Li. “With his experience, he’ll hit the ground running and have an immediate impact.”

SSR values its partnerships with its national dealer network, and Blackwell has invested countless hours and miles, visiting dealers in nearly all 50 states. Blackwell’s passion for nurturing mutually beneficial relationships with the dealer network is key to supporting the growth of SSR dealers and the company’s family of consumers.

Blackwell will be responsible for leading the national team of district sales managers and marketing staff. Support of the current dealer network will be complemented with new dealer appointments in open markets. SSR has boosted its marketing efforts with the production of numerous advertisements on both wholesale and retail levels promoting the SSR motorcycles, QJ motorcycles, and SSR’s Bison UTVs.

SSR is committed to its mission statement:

“Provide quality powersports products at an affordable price with premier customer service.”

SSR Motorsports was established in 2002 to import and distribute powersports products in the United States. We provide products that are fun to ride, with cutting-edge design, superior engineering and well-managed quality control. We believe every enthusiast should be able to afford a brand-new powersport product that is backed by a manufacturer warranty, comprehensive dealer network, premier customer service and a West Coast distribution center stocked with readily available replacement parts.

SSR MOTORSPORTS CHOSEN AS U.S. DISTRIBUTOR FOR QJMOTOR

SANTA FE SPRINGS, CA (August 30, 2023)

SSR Motorsports has taken on the role of distributor for QJMotor products in the United States. Zhejiang Qianjiang Motorcycle Co., Ltd. (QJMotor) — the parent company of Benelli Motorcycles — is a global leader in motorcycle design, engineering and manufacturing that produces a comprehensive line of street models. QJ models, which have been available in the U.S. since the spring, complement SSR’s popular line of on-road motorcycles, off-road motorcycles and SXS’s.

“QJMotor has models that are right for the U.S. market and hit some key price points and model segments” says Greg Blackwell, SSR’s vice president of sales and marketing.

The initial QJ lineup features 11 models, from the SRF135 street mini to the mighty SRT750X adventure bike.

“Dealers are signing up with SSR to sell QJ because we can supply dealer demand; we have the inventory ready to ship,” Blackwell said. “We’ll also help the dealers promote QJ in their own market.

“QJ models look great and perform even better.”

SSR is adding new QJ dealerships each week as the network — and product offerings — grow.

Along with its well-known off-road and on-road models, SSR is embracing QJ’s international marketing strategy by focusing on the QJMOTOR brand while still selling Benelli models, with special pricing available.

True to the SSR way, current Benelli riders can count on us for any necessary warranty work, and we continue to stock replacement parts through our national network of SSR dealers.

Watch for announcements about SSR’s many models — whether for fun or mobility — including off-highway, street and EV motorcycles, Bison (SxS) utility and recreational vehicles and pedal-assist EV bicycles.

We are committed to providing our dealers with the highest-quality products at a competitive price, as well as premier customer service.
