Fort Worth TX – December 7, 2022 – Tucker Powersports today announced a new, exclusive agreement to distribute the legendary Dainese motorcycle product line to its network of powersports dealers in the United States. The multi-year agreement includes leather and textile riding gear, boots, shoes and Dainese’s line of protective armor and airbag D-Air jackets and vests.
