The 2020-2021 Honda CRF250R chassis is one of the most fun to ride in the 250 class, with its easy to corner nature as well as a great suspension package. However, Honda focused a lot of their engine R&D on peak horsepower and not torque, which to me the CRF250R lacks the most of. When…
Something that most riders (including me) may not see a lot of in the states is HGS exhaust systems. HGS is a Netherlands based company that has been making exhausts since the early 90s and are mostly popular among European club riders and of course many factory supported MXGP teams.

It’s February, and it’s common for recreational athletes to come out of the gate hot, bent, and determined to charge into training for the year. But the stoke can often diminish, reduced to smoldering embers after pushing through work and family commitments, the heat of summer, and countless hours of bike maintenance.…

Some of the standout features of the Prospect is a polycarbonate lens that is 1mm thick (versus 0.8mm thick like most other competitors lenses), the Scott lens locking system that consists of four locking pins that secure the lens to…

If someone was to pull the rug out from underneath me today and I was left with nothing in my garage, what would I replenish to start my moto life once again. I mean let’s face it, some of you may still think because I get free products/bikes/etc. that I will tell you everything is…
I have worn Alpinestars Tech 7’s on and off for several years now and enjoyed the mid level price point boot so much that I put my 14 year old son in them because of a few reasons we will get to below. The Alpinestars Tech 7 is one of the more popular motocross boots…
Have mostly been a plastic throttle tube type of guy, but I have appreciated the toughness of an aluminum throttle tube when I have some medium to large sized crashes. The one thing I usually don’t like is the firmness of the aluminum throttle tube when landing as well as how big they feel in…
My standard 2020 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition seat didn't last long. The foam broke down, the cover ripped and my butt wasn't happy with me. I have pictures to prove it, but I'll spare all of you that nasty image. Enter Seat Concepts. After all of these years I have yet to experience any…
When it comes to handlebars I am a pain in the ass. The height, width, rise, and position is very important to me between each bike that I test. I find that you can’t run the same handlebar bend on every bike, even though I like a bend on one bike, sometimes it doesn’t feel…
