RE ZRO®, creator of the world’s first 100% recyclable and fully biodegradable impact protection, has signed a sponsorship deal with professional Flat Track racer Gary Birtwistle.

The partnership will see the 2022 National Twins and Pro Champion place his full confidence in RE ZRO®’s motorcycle body armour as he returns to the 2023 DTRA Flat Track Nationals to defend his titles.

RE ZRO® impact protection is made from a unique composite material that is free from Polyurethane (PU). This eliminates the waste and pollution-heavy manufacturing process, as well decades-long biodegradation process of traditional body armour. It does so without any compromise on performance, crucial in the brutal world of Flat Track, offering an unrivalled combination of safety, comfort, usability and sustainability. Cutting- edge material science and structural design provide powerful impact absorption that surpasses all enforced safety standards.

The knee, hip, elbow, shoulder and back protectors are also ultra slim, extremely lightweight and incredibly flexible. This allows for unprecedented freedom of movement, making them the ideal choice for the physically demanding sport of Flat Track racing.

Gary Birtwistle said: “I'm really happy to be working with RE ZRO® and to be putting their kit to use out on the racetrack. The ethos of the company really spoke to me and I'm glad to be on board for 2023.”

Jake Tindall, Head of Marketing for RE ZRO® added: “Gary has been operating at the top level of Flat Track for many years and we're over the moon to have signed the 2022 Pro and Twins champ. We're looking forward to an exciting season supporting Gary as he puts our armour to the test in his fight to defend his title this year.”

RE ZRO® was founded by a group of like-minded individuals with over 30 years’ experience in product design, development, strategy and delivery in the impact protection sector. Together, they seek to challenge and disrupt the industry, changing it for the better.
