PRO-BOLT CELEBRATES CHAMPIONSHIP WINS WITH KYLE RYDE AND RICHARD COOPER

This past weekend was one to remember for the Pro-Bolt family as our sponsored riders Kyle Ryde (OMG GRILLA Yamaha Racing) and Richard Cooper (PHR Performance Triumph) claimed victories in their respective championships. Kyle Ryde took home the British Superbike crown, while Richard Cooper triumphed in the Pirelli National Sportbike series.


We couldn’t be prouder to support these two incredible teams. It's exciting to see our high-performance fasteners contributing to their success on track, proving that quality parts make a difference in motorsports at the highest level.


A Champion’s Setup: Kyle Ryde and OMG GRILLA Yamaha Racing

Kyle’s British Superbike Championship victory was nothing short of dramatic. The title came down to a thrilling last-lap battle with Tommy Bridewell on his Honda. In a race full of intense competition, Kyle held his nerve, pushing his Yamaha to the limit and securing the championship in an unforgettable finish. We’re thrilled to have played a role in his incredible season and this exciting finale!


As a key partner of OMG GRILLA Yamaha Racing, Pro-Bolt has been part of Kyle’s journey to the top. With our top-tier titanium fasteners installed across his Yamaha YZF-R1, Kyle's performance showcases the strength, light weight, and reliability that our products bring to competitive racing.

Winning Formula: Richard Cooper and PHR Performance Triumph

Richard Cooper’s incredible journey in the Pirelli National Sportbike Championship this year was nothing short of inspiring. Despite setbacks, including a crash at Donington Park, Richard and the PHR Performance Triumph team never gave up. As Richard said, "It’s not over until it’s over..." and that couldn’t have been more true.


In Race 1, Richard overcame a 21.5-point gap to reclaim the championship lead by 9.5 points with a stunning P1 finish. Race 2 was a tough battle, pushing his PHR Performance Triumph to the limit. Richard gave it everything he had, even blowing the head gasket, but managed to secure P3—just enough to take the championship title!


Taking a brand-new bike through a season full of rule changes and challenges, Richard and the team showed immense resilience. We’re incredibly proud to support PHR Performance by supplying our precision-engineered fasteners that helped keep their Triumph race-ready and reliable throughout this remarkable journey. Now a four-time national champion, Richard’s accomplishments continue to set the standard, and we’re honored to be part of his winning formula!

Looking Forward

Pro-Bolt’s dedication to engineering excellence is reflected in the successes of Kyle, Richard, and their teams. As we continue to push the boundaries in fastener technology, we remain committed to supporting racers who demand nothing but the best. We look forward to many more podiums, championships, and great moments in the future!
