Has anyone tried these yet? I tried looking at them at http://eksbrand.com/ and have to say the website blows. I used IE and Firefox with no luck. I'd like to support them since they are a startup and sponsor Mathes' show but don't want to go in blind, no pun intended.

I use Eks Brand. I love them. Great fit for most helmets and very pliable.Rich Taylor hooked me up and I've won a few pairs at REM since they are a sponsor there. Great product!

I have a few pairs of X brand. Good goggles, they fit in smaller opening helmets comfortably, and they're not redicuously over priced

SH105 runs X-brand, he seems to like them. I have not tried them yet but on first inspection they look good enough to me.

I've used them and like them. Great product, especially for the price.

I just wish they would decide on a name...either "X" or "EKS." For some reason that annoys me.

I use X brand (EKS) as well, they are the best goggle i have purchased in my 19 years of riding, very comfortable fit and the best price for the great level of quality it has, not to mention they come with a spare lens.

Thanks for thinking about that part of it. They are a great goggle, everyone that's tried them has been very happy with them. MIke Alessi is using them, Josh Strang, Motoconcepts Yamaha, Hambone among others.

Go to Btosports.com and when you check out enter matthes for an additional discount

Or go to tremx.com and order them there..punch in PULPMXSHOW all caps and get an additional discount

Or order them direct and punch in XCODE2010 and you'll get a discount.

Three ways to order them, three discounts.

They look sweet and I would consider using them but they don't offer any roll off packages as far as I can tell which excludes a big number of cross country or worcs racers who sometimes need the big time mud protection.

I heard Mathes say on one of his Moto shows that he offered roll offs to his riders at Seattle and Salt Lake but they refused. I assume since he offered it is possible.

Anyway, can you use Scott tear offs with these or are they Eks brand specific tear offs that you have to use?

I use EKS Brand goggles and the one thing that stands out is I never get sand inside my goggles even when I get roosted directly in the face.

Another thing I like is the nose design allows me to breathe through my nose.

They do have a Roll Off System and works just a good as the other brands but the googles seem to fit better in the helmet.

Both of our products, Moto Hose & X Brand, are distributed by MTA and we were set up by each other in the MTA booth at this years Indy trade show so I was able to check the goggles out thoroughly.


X Brands quality is right up there with the much more expensive name brand goggles like Scott, Oakley, Smith ect.


My old Scott 89's do not fit well in my new Bell helmet and I plan on getting X Brand goggles to replace them.


Besides........Rich Taylor is 100% Moto threw and threw! All you Suzuki riders aw him a thank you as he was Suzuki's test rider for many years!
