K&N Filters Announces Sponsorship for Red Bull/KTM Racing Team




RIVERSIDE, CA - K&N Engineering, Inc. - a company that started with innovative products for powersports, has never forgotten its roots and proud to announce a new partnership with one of the hottest teams in motorcycle racing - Red Bull/KTM Racing.


Racing is an important part of K&N's product development program. The company has worked with KTM to supply filters for the team's bikes. Consumers benefit from the ability to purchase filters that use the same proven technology trusted by race teams. After developing a successful product support program, K&N took the next step to support the team on an official level. During the 2005 season red Bull/KTM Racing Team will sport K&N livery on bikes, support vehicles and racer/team uniforms.


"Motorsports sponsorship is much, much more than putting the K&N name on sponsored teams," commented K&N's Powersports Brand Manager, John Jump. "Writing checks is easy, our strategy is to partner with teams … in working to get teams set up to use K&N products we work to show them all the benefits. K&N backs our claims with one of the most advanced research and development facilities in the industry - that's something that gives racers peace of mind in knowing that our products will both, allow the airflow needed for optimum performance and provide the filtration needed to protect the team's valuable engines."


Look for the K&N Filters-supported Red Bull/KTM Racing Team at 2005 AMA Supermoto (450) Series events, selected AMA Supermoto Unlimited Class races, the X-Games and various testing and practice sessions.
