See what went into the electric YZ250 build

Since we used a lot of unique technologies when creating our latest intake scoop offering, we thought it might be of interest to share a bit about the process for those interested in the product development space and give a glimpse into what is involved in bringing a relatively simple product to market.  While our smaller scoop was already popular, one bit of feedback we consistently got was “go bigger!”, so we did!  Increasing the volume of the scoop also required it to cover more surface area on the airbox cover, which is where the challenge began.  Anyone who has...

The push toward electrification of transportation is here, and it's starting to ramp up in the consumer market.  While there is great debate about the environmental benefits and drawbacks of electric power, the performance advantages can't be ignored.  From a purely performance standpoint, electric power has shown to be vastly superior to internal combustion and has done so utilizing powertrains that are exponentially simpler than their gas counterparts mechanically.  In the offroad motorcycle world, energy storage has proven to be the biggest hurdle to overcome as consumers demand equal or greater performance compared to their gas powered bikes, as well...

Motoclimb is a unique sport where participants race modified, off-road motorcycles of various engine displacements uphill through a specifically marked course, with the goal of having the fastest time from bottom to top.  The race courses are designed to challenge rider and machine, often riddled with large rocks, ledges, and sharp turns.  In the professional classes, all machines are outfitted with swingarm extensions that increase the wheelbase of the bike by adding approximately 1ft of length to the rear swingarm, allowing more aggressive riding while reducing the tendency of the bike to flip over backwards on steep climbs and under...
