Motors are reported to be brutally strong. Available suspensions are by renouned manufacturers (just not renouned in MX). Brakes are Brembos.

The rest is all just speculation. Why don't you buy one and tell us what you think.

Check out the Dirt Track and Street. Made in the US. Initially I like it. They could use some design refinements but overall I like what they are about. Lets give them 10 years and see what happens.

Actually looks pretty trick for a 1 off company. I wish a company like that could hire a rider to race the nationals without having to make a shit load of them like the GP's do it. The way the ama is set up now it's virtually impossible for a start up company like those guys to break into racing.

Kind of curious how much it weighs though. The fact that the spec sheet leaves out the weight makes me think it's more then they care to advertise.

Yep. I understand why they do it but at the same time you are right, it sux for a 1 off co. I was wondering about the weight too. E-start = what 9 lbs or so. The Enduro is 258lbs.

Found the MX version pdf. 247 lbs dry.

They could use the one year prototype exemption to get their foot in the door . Then after that I think a smaller manufacturer only has to produce 200 units as opposed to the 400 the big 5 have to produce. They're built here now so shipping is not an issue . The thing is on the website you can custom order the bike to your specs. Wonder what their actual production run will be like.

Do all the off-road series follow the same homologation formula? I'm thinkin' a little bark-bashin' would be a good showcase and proving ground.

Then, there's dirt track!!
