ProTaper SELA Holeshot Device
Vital Review
Tested: ProTaper SELA Holeshot Device
c120 self engaged launch assist sela 1.jpg
The Good
Universal for modern bikes, simple install, works just like it is supposed to.
The Bad
Small click when riding, the priciest option for holeshot devices.
Overall Review
If you are going to line up to race motocross, a holeshot device is mandatory. But traditional holeshot devices usually take two people with good timing to engage (unless you are Ken Roczen). Enter the ProTaper SELA (Self-Engaged Launch Assist) Holeshot Device that makes it a one-person job. Just turn the knob, compress the forks and you are good to go. Also, the SELA is compatible with most modern motocross bikes, since the fork ring is adjustable and there are different pin latches for

Overall Review
Tester:Chris Siebenhaar Age:35 Height: 5’ 10” Weight: 178 lb Class: Intermediate/Expert This year the off-road (racer) category just got a little deeper with the addition of Kawasaki throwing its hat into both the 450cc, and 250cc cross country ring. Both bikes got the same off-road treatment, meaning softer suspension, a kickstand, skid plate, different final gearing, and 18” rear wheel and Dunlop AT81 tires. Other than that they’re basically the same as their motocross brethren. But is that

Tester: Jason Abbott Height: 5'11" Weight: 190 lb Ability: Vet Pro/Expert To see a full list of changes to the 2021 Kawasaki KX250, check out the First Look here. The all new frame and swingarm along with updated suspension settings have a planted and confidence inspiring feel on the track while Ergos and overall cockpit layout and the addition of the Renthal fat bar had us feeling right at home on the 2021 KX250 within a couple of laps. Overall, we are very happy with the suspension once we

c120 PHO BIKE 90 RE 450 SX F MY21 SALL AEPI V1
Overall Review
Tester: Chris Seibenhaar Height: 5'10" Weight: 180 lb Age: 35 Class: Intermediate The model year 2021 will be one of refinement for the KTM 450SX-F, with minor updates throughout the bike that focus on performance or reliability. Keep in mind, that’s not KTM just sitting back and relaxing. Rather the 2020 model was a banger of a machine, after all, it was second in the shootout last year with some riders making it their number one pick. The list of changes have already been posted for months now

c120 PHO BIKE 90 RE 250 SX F MY21 SALL AEPI V1
Overall Review
The 2021 KTM 250 SX-F got a smattering of updates from the previous model. Just as in years past, changes that were made to the 2020 FE bikes trickled down to the production models. Updated fork and shock settings, new fuel mapping, and new linkage bushings to reduce friction are the key changes. Check out the video to see the complete test, and head to your local KTM dealer to see the 2021 models in person.

Overall Review
During any normal year, there would have been a lot more fanfare for an all-new high-end motocross helmet from THOR with pros on-hand, tech presentations, and for sure a taco cart. But, since this is anything but a normal year, we pretty much just got a THOR Reflex helmet in the mail and headed out to the track. The big news for the Reflex is that it uses three different types of protection technology - Koroyd, EPS foam, and MIPS. All three work together at making a very protective and

Tester: Sean Klinger Height: 5' 9" Weight: 180 lb Sizes: Large Jersey, 34 Pant, Large Glove When you are talking about modern, hyper-light, premium motocross gear, the conversation might not have included Troy Lee Designs… Until now. The SE Ultra gear line from TLD is their take on the super thin, super stretchy, super comfortable moto kit that is aimed at serious riders who have a serious budget. The prices are on par with any of the other highest-end gear on the market so we expect high levels

c120 PHO BIKE 90 RE fc350 90re 2021 SALL AEPI V1
Overall Review
Every time I ride a 350, I’m transported back to my philosophy class at CSUF learning about Aristotle. Hang with me, I’ll make it quick. One of Aristotle’s main principles is the Golden Mean, which, in short, taking the two extremes of any situation and following the path right between them. With modern four-stroke motocross bikes that can be illustrated by the 250 on one end and the 450 on the other. What is the best course of action? For the average rider, I could easily argue that would be
