SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (March 2, 2008) – Fezzari Performance Bikes today announced the formation of their National Race Team that will compete in gravity events around the US and around the world. The team will compete in downhill, dual slalom, and super D events aboard Fezzari racing bikes.

The Utah-based firm Fezzari (www.Fezzari.com) has been developing a new, state of the art, downhill bike with its factory riders over the past year. The result is the new Widows Peak complete with Fox 40, RockShox Vivid, and DeeMax wheelset. You can’t keep a world cup level rig like that in the showroom so the new Fezzari National Race Team was born to showcase the new bike on the gravity race circuit. The team will consist of the past Masters World Champion and current pro, Dave Beeson, semi pro’s Ben Craner and Damon Kirchmeier. In addition to a World Championship, this group holds numerous national titles, NMBS wins and silver and bronze medals from the Masters World Championships.

“I am really stoked to be riding the Widows Peak this season,” Beeson said. “We have hammering this thing for months and I am really pleased with what we were able to put together working with Fezzari Bikes.”

The National Team will be racing a variety of events including the NORBA NMBS and the Mountain States Cup. The Team will also represent the US this year in France at the Masters World Championships.

“I can really fly on this rig,” said Craner “To nail a third in Semi Pro at Boulder City when it was my first time on a bike this year speaks volumes about the bike’s capabilities.”
