Full Gas Sprint Enduro Equipment

All youll need is the right tires for the terrain some gas and a good attitude. Sprint Enduros are super fun, and the Kenda series is one of the better run ones. As far as handguards go im not a fan personally of full wrap hard handguards and just run my stock KTM flags with great success.

Haven't done a full gas per say but have done a ton of moto and offroad, go check youtube for videos of whatever round your going to to get a feel for it. Typically they're pretty wide open . there's a cross test which is just grass track or moto with may be a treeline built in. Even in the woods test they see pretty wide open but I'd throw a set of handguards on just incase. handguard are a useful thing to have in the tool box, cycra ones are pretty sturdy and look good moto'ing too

I run the Florida Trail Rider Hare Scramble Series and just run your standard roost guard plastic hand guards. I don't like the full bark buster style and I never use them. No issues to date.

You probably don't even need anything but these are simple enough to install and remove so I'd throw them on.

Here is a pic for reference.

On the hand guards...which kind you want depends on what you want them for.

IF you just want roost protection...then get the ones pictured above.

If you want to save your fingers from getting smashed by a tree (if you hit one), or save your levers if you tip over/crash, and roost protection, then get the bark buster style.

No right or wrong, just a matter of what you are looking for as far as protection.

I ran the bark buster style guards for years...and didn't feel like I really used them...so I've switched back to the regular roost guards and they've worked fine (I run break-away levers now though to prevent a broken lever...broken levers are a much larger concern in off road than they are in moto.)

Bark Buster/Wrist Breaker hand guards are dangerouse IMO. How many pro's use them? None that I know of.
I hate them and wouldn't take them to a shit fight for spare ammo.

I was in same exact boat as you and started the same type thread before the first round earlier this year. All the info you need here http://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/1st-round-Kenda-Full-Gas-…

Just for your frame of reference on maybe where you will finish, because I was completely at a loss on myself going in. I race B Moto and raced the B full gas class. Never raced an off road race before, strictly Moto for 25+ yrs, finished top 5 and some top 3 in all the grass/cross tests and top 10 in the woods tests, could have done better here as I fell once in 3 out of the 6 woods tests, but I still finished 9th OA on the wknd out of almost 30 riders and less than 2 mins total out of the top 5. The top 3 podium finishers were on a different lever than the rest of us tho.

"..sand is my best surface" You don't say?? I think you'll be just fine dude

In terms of riding time you can't beat this series. Hooper and crew do a great job.

Tire choice is critical. Kenda is the most popular choice ( IBEX or Equilibrium). GoldenTyre is also very popular. If possible go for a bib-mousse, tire balls or something similar.

Hand guards are a personal choice. At a minimum you will want folding levers ( you will fall down at some point).

If you enjoy Full Gas come give TKO a try next year.

Have fun !!

i like cycra probends. Due to their shape it doesn't seem like your hands are "in" them.

HAH!!!! Bro, every time I've seen your posts here, I thought it was TJ. Opened this thread and thought to myself "damn, TJ sure is humble; he rips in the woods, what's he talkin about???" too funny man..

On a side note - I also want to run a FGSE in the future.. Hopefully we can line up together one of these days

We very rarely put any sort of single track in our events so you shouldn't really need full wrap hand guards (bark busters). You'll definitely want to run at least flags like the Acerbis ones someone posted earlier. There's about 1500 wooden stakes marking the cross test and that's your best chance of hitting a hand on something and it'll hurt!

If you have any other questions feel free to post them here or send me an email at info@fullgasenduro.com.
