Andy DiBrino, hot off his first full time MotoAmerica effort with an impressive 8th overall in the MotoAmerica Superstock 600 Championship is getting ready for the 2016 season and making some big changes.
DiBrino is excited to announce his newest sponsor; K-Tech Suspension is on board for his bid for the MotoAmerica Superstock 600 championship.
After another impressive year of top 10 finishes in the hottest contested MotoAmerica class, Superstock 600, and several regional wins at Oregon’s OMRRA as well as California’s AFM, DiBrino is ready to take things to the next level.
“Having top notch products and support around me is key for my continued improvement in racing” DiBrino said. “After seeing all the great results and hearing such positive feedback from so many riders using K-Tech Suspension it intrigued me. I really want 2016 to be my year to up on the box and want to have the best of everything. I got to meet the top guys of K-Tech Suspension UK at the final AMA round in New Jersey and seeing their commitment, dedication and customer support really impressed me, so I wanted to try it. We did some testing this off season and while conditions were less than ideal, the feel was instantly impressive. The K-Tech 20mm DDS sealed chamber forks gave incredible feedback. I am super excited to have the full backing of K-Tech Suspension behind me and my team, as well as having full support at the AMA Pro events is critical as a privateer. I can’t wait for the first race at Atlanta where I got a 5th last year. I’m looking to beat that result right out of the gate.”
Eric Dorn of EDR Performance, who has worked with and built Andy’s road racing bikes since 2010, said “With us being the country’s largest K-Tech Service Center and the fact we build and tune all of Andy’s race bikes at our shop, having the suspension in house as well just made sense. We have had such great success with K-Tech Suspension on many of our other riders around the country I knew it was going to be good, I really think having him on the K-Tech Suspension and having their outstanding support is just what he needs for 2016.”
Andy DiBrino will be running the #62 ICON Motosports/ Motosport.com/ EDR Performance Yamaha YZF-R6 full time in the MotoAmerica Superstock 600 category as well as select OMRRA and AFM events. Look for him to be up front and battling in 2016!
