K&N Filters will sponsor the new Sport Twins class in this year’s Parts Canada Superbike Championship. The category will be known as the K&N Filters Sport Twins division.

The K&N Sport Twins class is similar to the now defunct Thunder class in the Parts Canada Superbike Championship and Moto-ST endurance series in the U.S. It is open to liquid-cooled twin cylinder motorcycles producing no more than 75 horsepower and air-cooled twins of up to 90 horsepower. As with all national classes, horsepower is regulated by the official series Dynojet Dynamometer.

Rob Busby of Brantford, Ont. won the opening round of the 2010 K&N Filters’ Sport Twins season at Circuit ICAR, near Montreal, on board a Buell XB12R.

The Parts Canada Superbike Championship, along with the K&N Filters Sport Twins class, resumes at Calgary’s Race City Motorsport Park with a doubleheader weekend June 25-27. The series then moves on to doubleheaders at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ont. July 9-11 and Atlantic Motorsport Park, near Halifax, Aug. 6-8.
