BREVARD, N.C. – The Brevard College Cycling program has added high-performance bicycle component manufacturer Industry Nine as a sponsor for the Tornados cycling team.
Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Industry Nine offers handmade bicycle wheelsets and hubs for Mountain Bike, Road Bike, All-Road, Gravel, and Cyclocross. The new sponsorship with Brevard College Cycling is in conjunction with BC's ongoing partnership with Sycamore Cycles, an Industry Nine dealer located in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina.
The partnership with Industry Nine also comes on the heels of Brevard College's recent debut as the nation's first collegiate varsity gravel racing team.
"Industry Nine is thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Sycamore Cycles in supporting Brevard College's collegiate gravel team," said Keith Thompson, East Coast Sales Representative for Industry Nine. "We're excited to see the team's progress and we're proud that we can be a part of such a fantastic cycling community."
As part of the sponsorship, the Brevard College Cycling student-athletes will benefit from access to the products manufactured by Industry Nine and available at Sycamore Cycles.
"We are thrilled to bring on Industry Nine as a team sponsor and make it possible through Sycamore Cycles," said Brevard College Cycling Head Coach Brad Perley. "Industry Nine is a company local to our region, producing top-notch products for any type of bicycle. We are excited to jump into the 2020 fall collegiate season with them on board and look forward to helping represent the brand."
