MotoQuest and Scorpion Sports, Inc. Announce Strategic Alliance

MotoQuest has announced Scorpion Sports, Inc. as its exclusive riding apparel partner. MotoQuest guides will be outfitted with Scorpion helmets, jackets, pants and gloves as they lead riders on a diverse lineup of guided motorcycle adventures through six continents.

“Scorpion is the perfect strategic partner for our motorcycle adventures, and after much consideration we’re excited to make them the official supplier of our riding apparel,” said MotoQuest General Manager Brenden Anders. “With our real-world feedback and Scorpion’s direct manufacturing capabilities, this is a powerful combination that will result in better riding gear for everyone. We are excited to start putting this gear through its paces starting this summer in the place we know best: Alaska.”

MotoQuest guides will be outfitted with Scorpion’s GT3000 modular helmet along with Scorpion XDR (Extreme Distance Riding) jackets, pants and gloves. The versatility of Scorpion Yosemite convertible jacket and pants will accommodate guides as they encounter unpredictable weather conditions throughout the world. Guides that specialize in MotoQuest’s dual sport and off-road adventures in the extreme northern and southern hemispheres will be outfitted in Scorpion Yukon jackets and pants. The Yukon line is purpose-built with Scorpion EXO-DRY breathable waterproof laminate, which provides superior protection from the terrain and the elements. MotoQuest guides will enjoy the comfort and protection afforded by Scorpion’s SGS and SG3 gloves and in cold and wet conditions they’ll appreciate the confidence found in Scorpion TSW gloves.

“MotoQuest is the real deal,” said Frank Esposito, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Scorpion Sports, Inc. “Their guides don’t just go on a Sunday cruise around town; the MotoQuest crew are professional adventure riders that take their bikes and their gear through the toughest conditions. The feedback we’ll receive from riders that travel thousands of miles through every kind of terrain and climate imaginable will help Scorpion’s designers and engineers to create better products.”

Additionally, MotoQuest customers looking to purchase new adventure gear will get a unique look at Scorpion riding apparel in action. “Our customers place their trust in us to provide them the ultimate experience. This includes the routes we choose, the bikes we ride and the gear we wear,” Anders said. “As a Scorpion partner we will be able to offer them the same gear that our guides will be wearing as they embark on these global adventures.”
