                                               The newly 
                                                releases ITP QuadCross Tire, specifically 
                                                for trail riding and racing | 
                                      
                                      Ontario, CA (9/19/2009) - 
                                      Hot on the heels of the QuadCross MX PRO 
                                      Lite — a tire that has stunned the 
                                      ATV motocross ranks since its debut last 
                                      spring, capturing four AMA ATV Pro National 
                                      wins — ITP now announces the release 
                                      of the all-new QuadCross XC, designed specifically 
                                      for high-performance trail riding and racing. 
                                      The QuadCross XC utilizes all of the design 
                                      features that have made the MX PRO Lite 
                                      such a winner, but adds the extra strength 
                                      and larger sizing required for cross country 
                                      use.
                                      
                                      The QuadCross XC incorporates a tough 6-ply 
                                      carcass for higher puncture resistance and 
                                      exceptional overall durability. This advanced 
                                      carcass design has been proven to stiffen 
                                      the sidewall during side loads without compromising 
                                      ride quality. Along with reducing the bounce 
                                      that’s common on most cross country 
                                      knobbies, this design benefits acceleration, 
                                      braking, cornering and overall balance as 
                                      well, significantly reducing fatigue and 
                                      lap times. An aggressive, dimpled tread 
                                      pattern using a high-tech, long-wearing 
                                      tread compound further enhances traction, 
                                      feel and trail handling characteristics. 
                                      Sizing is 20x11-9 for the rear (P/N 560547) 
                                      and 22x7-10 in front (P/N 560546)
                                      
                                      The QuadCross XC has already shown its winning 
                                      capabilities under ITP development rider 
                                      and factory Yamaha team member Dustin Nelson. 
                                      Fresh out of the tire molds, Nelson rode 
                                      the first QuadCross XCs to a commanding 
                                      victory at the mid-August WORCS X event 
                                      in Straddleline Park, Washington, an extreme 
                                      off-road race that shaped up to be an outrageous 
                                      test of man and equipment.
