I dont know if this has been brought up yet but i haven't seen anything mentioned on this but whats going on with MSR gear? They seem to be fading out of Moto completely for some reason. With the change from Star racing to Answer and even Nick Wey changing from a longtime MSR guy to Answer it seems strange. The last couple of years the Off Road guys at Ox Motorsports were still running MSR so it looked to me that maybe they were going to be a more off road focused brand but now even they have changed to Answer gear. Anyone know whats up?
The Shop
Yes, MSR is in all the hare scrambles now and MSR is in the MX... At least locally it seems...
the gear market is more competitive now than ever, not a surprise that TR will put all their resources into Answer (I refuse to call it ANSR). I've heard the MSR Hard Parts line does well, my guess is the MSR brand will live on solely in that realm.
A quick glance at social media and MSR hasn't posted since May. Instagram doesn't lie, bros #RIP
Tried to replace my chest protector a few months back and could not find the MSR...went with a Thor instead.
Pit Row
I only remember Fox, No Fear, and Thor. Going way back I think it was Axo?
I used to wear MSR 7-8 years ago, but a recent set I got of their high end stuff wasn't nearly as durable as in the past.
While my Answer gear doesn't fit as good as say, Fox Flex Air, or have bells and whistles its been damn tough.
Keefer mentioned the new Trinity line is awesome, so I look forward to getting a set!
