Intrepid today announced the recapitalization of its client, J.C. BroMac Corporation dba EagleRider, Inc., the global leader in motorcycle rentals and adventure tours, with Main Post Partners, a San Francisco-based private equity firm with deep experience in branded consumer products and services companies.

“Since 1992, we have built the preeminent brand in motorcycle adventure travel. Given our growth and substantial expansion opportunities, we embarked on a search for a partner who would help us execute our plan to make EagleRider the ubiquitous brand for two-wheel motorized travel experiences around the world. We are thrilled to partner with the team at Main Post and tap their expertise in building consumer brands in the next chapter of this exciting ride,” said Chris McIntyre, CEO and Co-Founder of EagleRider. “We believe we are in the early stages of a massive opportunity to make the two-wheel travel experience accessible to a vast global audience. The Intrepid team helped us explore several strategic options and was instrumental in finding a partner who embraces our vision and shares our passion for what we are building,” added Jeff Brown, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of EagleRider.
“Chris and Jeff have shaped an entire industry, serving hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts who return as repeat customers. Their passion and love for experiencing the world on motorcycles radiates throughout the business. We feel privileged to have played a part in selecting a partner who will support them in fulfilling their vision,” said Ed Bagdasarian, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director at Intrepid. Added Jim Freedman, Chairman and Managing Director at Intrepid: “As an avid motorcycle rider, it was fun and exciting working with the EagleRider team in helping them through a successful process to identify and select the best partner to enable them to reach their future dreams and goals.”
