Was looking around there site to see the 2019 line-up and the moto section is gone, anyone know if they stopped making MX stuff?

it looks like it and I will assume Anderson will be using a different brand.
Basically Smith and Oakley are the only two goggle companies that actually manufacture their own product, the rest are manufactured over sea by the same company.

I don't know but I called Dragon about that a few weeks ago and they said "We just updated our website, and they haven't finished updating the moto portion yet" I told them it looks bad to customers, they said "we know."

Take that for what you want.

Sounds like they need to prioritise this website update before people get the wrong idea! Are we to understand they do have new 2019 models ready to advertise?

Anyone know why most pros use the MXV Max as opposed to the more expensive NFX2 with lens lock system etc?

Just partly answered my own question...

JA using what seems to be a new model MXV Max. Don’t think they had any white frame versions before.

MX is a very small portion of their business, they are 100% continuing with moto though. The reason most prefer the MXV is because it’s a specific moto goggle, while the NFX2 is an adapted snow goggle. I prefer the MXV because of the fit and the lense, I just wish it had the NFX2 lense system!

Rip n Roll manufacture their goggles in house in UK. Great goggles, but haven’t really hit the US market

I've noticed what should be common items (clear replacement lens) listed as out of stock and very very limited color options around on the big parts websites so i figured id go right to the source and see whats up.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know, for a fact, that SCOTT makes all of their goggles (winter and moto), in house. All SCOTT goggles in North America come out of Ogden, UTAH, USA.

Maybe things like me calling in multiple times, and you guys participating in this thread, will catch their attention. Their goggles really are top notch and as good or better than any other brand

The real reason why many of these motorcycle related brands have such terrible websites is because their biggest focus is getting their products into distribution. The cash cow for a company like dragon is getting into these catalogs you see at cycle gear/chapparal/etc. In many cases, the manufacturers website is left to be updated last.
