\u201cI\u2019m really excited,\u201d said McGrath of the sponsorship deal. \u201c his year, I started my own truck team, so I\u2019m very happy about starting a partnership with Maxxis. Maxxis has proven that they are one of the best, if not the best, tires out there. And on the bike side, I\u2019m excited about working with Maxxis engineers on tire development. Hopefully, I can be of assistance to Maxxis in all areas. One of the things I\u2019m so excited about is that I do a lot of mountain biking and I ride a Polaris A V, too, so Maxxis makes tires for everything I do.\u201d In addition to his short course racing, McGrath will be working this year with Maxxis\u2019 research and development department on designs and testing for the company\u2019s motorcycle tires.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We know he\u2019ll do well this year in off-road competition. I also know that our engineers are happy that they\u2019ll be working with someone who has such expertise in all aspects of motorcycle performance. We\u2019re very proud to have Jeremy associated with the Maxxis brand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
