Has FXR reached a new level? Factory 450 rider Garret Marchbanks wearing FXR for factory Kawasaki placing FXR upfront on level with Alpinestars and ahead of Fox. I know Malcom rode for FXR last year but it was kind of a mid year thing, not the main factory team promotion.

Tickle has been in fxr as a factory kawi test guy hasn't he? Club helped showcase them too.
Huh? did I miss something
He is saying take a step up not showcase for the first time. I think fxr has definitely upped their game.
not tht it matters to me all tht much but it is refreshing to see a diversity in the gear brands being worn by the pro racing athletes other than A stars taking about 50 to 60 % of the franchise racers
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
They're working their way up but I still put them behind Fly and Fly is still pretty milquetoast.
Jordan smith is in Fxr too
Still think it’s wild to see how far they came from the first time I saw their gear at Walton a million years ago it seems. No one was wearing it then and now I think it’s some of the best looking stuff.
milquetoast is the word of the day. Where I use to work, they had a calendar that had the word of the day on it. And everyday it was a challenge for whoever answered a phone call or spoke to a customer to use the word of the day. Was hilarious at times. I remember the word juxtaposition being a word and the trouble everyone had trying to use it in a sentence that was relevant to the conversation.
Haha anyways back on topic..
I have always thought their gear was quality and stylish. They arrived like 10 years ago.
Guessing that's where Club's money went
Behind fly in quality or popularity? I always thought fly was kinda mid. They Never had any recent gear that looked even remotely good to me. Back in the day though….fresh as hell
Doesn't Fly have the premiere class SX champ?
Temu sells lot of FXR stuff and seen many kits at track lately.
FXR is really high quality gear.
Well made, well tailored, and they use high quality vented fabric. It does take some time to ship if you order direct from FXR.
always use the keefer code for a significant discount when you order.
Switched this year from my hometown brand Thor that I bought for the last 20 years....
fxr has in my opinion about the best designs out right now, the are doing good job
Not sure if the second spot on Factory Kawi has been the indicator that a gear company has “arrived,” historically…
All jokes aside, FXR is definitely up there with the other big name gear companies now. They don’t push the style envelope like Alpinestars or Fox have lately, but the designs and colors are usually pretty solid. Thie set Smith wore last year was some of my favorite gear of the season, personally.
Is the 142 Mcadoo?
Trying to figure out PCs team for 2026.
Kitchen 47
Hammaker 10?
Adams 35?
As someone that’s been a TLD dude for over a decade…I’m gonnahave to laugh at all of you throwin’ shade at Fly…that shit is jus’ funny! 🤣
Pit Row
10 Hammaker
35 Adams
47 Kitchen
142 McAdoo
Most riding gear looks the same with different logos.
I like the look of FXR. Garrett’s gear looks great! I’d like to see something similar for a KTM. Orange, white, a little blue (and NO DAMN PINK).
Someday a company will crack the code on customized jerseys with logos. The jersey version of Decal Works.
I've been an Oneal guy since I started riding 45 years ago, but I recently bought two sets of FXR gear and WOW, I can't speak highly enough of the fit and function. Seriously, A+ for the FXR guys.
Plus I'll be a Minnesota guy full time here soon so at least I'll fit in now. 😂
The two factory riders in the premier class are in front of the 250 support team for a photoshoot. Doesn't matter if Marchbanks was wearing RDRCO, he'd still be in the front of the shot.
Club had its FXR offer on the table and chose to go elsewhere. Garrett's deal is quite a bit less than that deal was.
FXR has a few factory 450 riders for 2026.
Monster Energy Kawasaki - Garrett Marchbanks
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna - Malcolm Stewart
Triumph Factory Racing - Jordon Smith (maybe Haarup as well)
Their sled gear (SnoMos) is as good as it gets. They’ve got jackets, backpacks and other stuff that’s made for their sled line that’s also perfect for off-road/ADV…etc. They’ve got “cold weather gear” that’s gonna be necessary for your outdoor life when you “Transplant to just below Canada”!🤣
FXR and club were such an iconic duo. Bummer to see them split.
Have they posted any updates on Malcolm's personal line, "27 Parallel" or whatever it was supposed to be called? I'd be interested in grabbing some casual wear.
Better than Thor
I'd say what matters the most to FXR is I see it everywhere at the practice track and the races. I would say its the most popular gear in the Northeast.
