ABOUT Us

In 1998 Essex Distributors based in Vancouver B.C opened its Ontario operation under the direction of Joe Chan and Eric Tong. Together they successfully built a performance parts and racing distribution business in Ontario and beyond. 

In 2005, Joe decided to put his focus on what he knew best and to put the company’s focus in selling Racing products…  And so the company ‘Paragon Competition’ was born.

The name “Paragon Competition” came from our racing team, Paragon Motosport Inc. The racing team campaigned in Ontario Challenge Cup and in the Grand Am ST class.  With a deep racing heritage, experience gained from the Firestone Fire Hawk, Michelin enduro, Motorola cup, and Canada GT Challenge Cup, brought our team numerous victories and championships.

With this experience, we understand the needs of the racer and their team, and so we stock only the best brands in the racing business.

A growing number of Canada’s top racing teams depend on our knowledge and experience, through these relationships, Paragon Competition is able to provide teams in various disciplines, whether karting, road racing or rallying with race winning solutions.
