Pontello Motorsports Becomes Official Canadian Distributor of HBM Reaper Kart Tires

St. Catharines, ON (June 2025) – Pontello Motorsports is thrilled to announce that it has been appointed the exclusive Canadian distributor for HBM Reaper Racing Tires, the exciting new high-performance tire taking the karting world by storm. This partnership means that Canadian kart racers can now access the HBM Reaper tire – known as “the real deal” in dirt track racing – directly through Pontello Motorsports, backed by local support and expertise. The HBM Reaper tire has rapidly gained a reputation for its impressive on-track performance and value. Developed by longtime racers Henry Moree and Terry Odom with the mantra “built with the racer in mind,” the Reaper was created to offer teams an affordable tire that doesn’t compromise on quality or speed. In the US, the Reaper has been praised for providing exceptional grip and handling on all track surfaces while also being reliable and long-lasting. 

Now, with Pontello Motorsports as the official distributor, Canadian drivers can experience firsthand how these tires can elevate their performance. Whether charging around a dirt oval or tuning for a club road course, racers will appreciate the Reaper’s combination of high traction, stable cornering, and durability under stress. 

Equally as important as performance, the Reaper tire’s cost-effective nature aligns perfectly with Pontello’s commitment to making racing accessible. “We’ve always focused on providing top-tier products at competitive prices to help drivers get started and stay in the sport,” says a Pontello Motorsports representative. The HBM Reaper is a game-changer in that regard – a tire that delivers race-winning performance at a price grassroots racers can afford. Indeed, the Reaper is a fraction of the cost of most competing tires (with a full set for $285.00 CAD), and its excellent wear life means racers spend less on tire bills through the season. 

By offering a tire that is both high-performing and budget-friendly, Pontello and HBM are together lowering the barrier to entry for competitive karting in Canada. Canadian karters will also benefit from the latest Reaper advancements. HBM recently introduced a “Reaper 2.0” version featuring a stiffer construction for even more roll speed and cornering stability – a testament to the brand’s drive for continuous improvement. 

Pontello Motorsports will ensure these updated Reaper tires are readily available to customers, so racers here can enjoy the same cutting-edge performance gains. With Pontello’s decades of racing experience and technical know-how, customers will receive guidance on getting the most from their Reaper tires – from optimal tire prep and pressures to chassis setup tips – maximizing the tire’s potential on Canadian tracks. 

As the official Canadian distributor, Pontello Motorsports will provide warehousing and distribution across Canada for authentic HBM Reaper racing tires. Racers can purchase with confidence knowing they’re getting genuine, factory-fresh Reaper tires through a trusted Canadian supplier. Pontello’s support extends beyond the sale: the team stands ready to assist racers with any questions, backed by over 60 years of combined racing experience in the family-run business. This collaboration between Pontello and HBM Reaper is rooted in a shared vision of growing the karting community by making it more inclusive and affordable, all while keeping the focus on high performance where it belongs.

Pontello Motorsports has long been dedicated to “Growing Canada’s Racing Future”, and partnering with HBM Reaper Tires is another stride toward that goal. By bringing the Reaper tire to Canada, Pontello is empowering local drivers – from club enthusiasts to championship contenders – with a tire that lets them race harder, longer, and more cost-effectively than ever before. If you’re looking for a tire that offers remarkable grip, longevity, and value, look no further than the HBM Reaper, now available exclusively at Pontello Motorsports.
