L39ION of Los Angeles launched their East Coast racing campaign in style over Memorial Day weekend, delivering three podium finishes aboard the QuickPro ER while engaging with riders and fans through a series of community-focused events across New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The weekend began with the Fusion Cycles / Legion WE Community Ride in Tenafly, New Jersey. Hosted in partnership with SRAM, QuickPro USA, Fusion Cycles, and Red Bull, the event welcomed more than 150 cyclists despite challenging weather conditions. Riders of all levels joined professional racers and cycling enthusiasts for a memorable day that highlighted the growing connection between the professional peloton and local cycling communities.
Turning Heads On and Off the Race Course
Throughout the weekend, the QuickPro ER continued to attract attention from racers, spectators, and industry insiders alike. Featured across the L39ION lineup, the bikes earned praise for their aerodynamic efficiency, responsive handling, ride quality, and striking custom paint schemes.
Beyond the Legion roster, QuickPro bicycles could be spotted throughout multiple race categories at both the Easton Twilight Criterium and the Tour of Somerville, reflecting the brand's growing presence and increasing popularity within the East Coast racing scene.
Easton Twilight Victory
The racing action began at the Easton Twilight Criterium in Pennsylvania, one of the premier criterium events on the U.S. calendar.
In a fast and aggressive men's race through the streets of downtown Easton, L39ION rider Jim Brown sprinted to victory after a hard-fought battle against defending U.S. National Champion Lucas Bourgoyne. The win marked an impressive start to the team's East Coast campaign and showcased the speed and performance of the QuickPro ER under the most demanding race conditions.
Podium Success at the Tour of Somerville
The momentum continued at the historic Tour of Somerville in New Jersey, America's longest-running bicycle race.
In the prestigious Kugler-Anderson Memorial Pro Men's Race, L39ION co-founder Justin Williams fought through a chaotic and highly competitive finale to secure third place against one of the strongest fields in domestic racing.
On the women's side, Skylar Schneider added another podium result for the team with a second-place finish after an exciting high-speed sprint finale. Schneider continues to establish herself as one of North America's premier criterium racers with another standout performance during an already impressive spring campaign.
Developing the Next Generation
Beyond the results, L39ION's commitment to developing cycling talent remained on full display throughout the weekend. The team fielded a diverse roster that included emerging riders from Belize and the Dominican Republic, further advancing its mission of creating opportunities for underrepresented athletes and helping grow the sport internationally.
Their presence added another inspiring dimension to an already memorable weekend of racing.
Building Momentum
With three podium finishes, a successful community event, and strong visibility throughout two marquee races, the opening block of L39ION's East Coast campaign represented another important milestone for QuickPro USA.
As QuickPro continues to invest in racing, community engagement, and athlete development across North America, weekends like this reinforce the brand's commitment to supporting the growth of cycling at every level—from local group rides to the podiums of the country's most prestigious races.
The East Coast campaign is just getting started.
