Published in: News Serious adventure bike and trail riders have been attracted by Kriega’s reputation and world-renowned build quality for years; the introduction of the TRAIL range sees a pair of backpacks with specifications more closely tailored to their demands. The TRAIL9 is the most compact adventure backpack ever produced by the British specialists, and is favored by riders for whom weight, speed and agility is key and comfort is essential. The bigger TRAIL18 shares much of the same class-leading features, but has twice the load-carrying capacity. Both the TRAIL9 and TRAIL18 have two main compartments: one is fully-waterproof with a roll-top, the other has zip-access and is designed to take a choice of different removable hydration reservoirs. A distinctive, elastic, hexagonal Hypalon net adds additional storage. Kriega used their 20-plus years of experience and the feedback from elite-level, extreme enduro champions in the development of their TRAIL backpacks, and thanks to this they have no hesitation in offering a 10-year guarantee with the new packs. It wouldn’t be a Kriega backpack without the firm’s revolutionary Quadloc-Lite harness. This design is a vast improvement over traditional straps because the weight of the pack is taken by the rider’s torso, not their shoulders. Kriega’s original design minimizes fatigue, which is especially useful for ADV and trail riders facing long days and challenging trails. 100% waterproof, roll-top, storage body (11 liters or 5 liters, depending on model) constructed from extremely durable 420D Cordura and integrally mated to Kriega’s unique Quadloc-Lite harness system, adjustable for just about any body shape. Auxiliary zip-access compartment (7 liters or 4 liters, depending on model) to transport essentials and house one of Kriega’s hydration packs (sold separately). Additional, versatile carrying capacity offered by a Hypalon cargo net, backed with one of three colored panels offering optional injections of hi-viz lime or safety orange. It wouldn’t be Kriega if there wasn’t a trademark all-black option too. See the TRAIL18 in action with Pol Tarrés in THE SEEKER as he pushes the bounds of reality on a Yamaha T7. {youtube}eDxBGc9TD4c{/youtube} • FEATURES QUADLOC-Lite™ harness transfers weight from the shoulders to the chest and body, giving all-day riding comfort, even with heavy loads. Ultra-durable 420D Cordura® Lite Plus and Hypalon construction. Air-mesh back panel for rider comfort. YKK® heavy-duty zips throughout. 100% waterproof 11-litre main pack body (5L in case of TRAIL9). 7-litre heavy-duty zip access compartment (4L in case of TRAIL9). 100% waterproof 1-litre internal pocket (TRAIL18 only).

Published in: News We didn’t really think we would see a benefit to the pandemic, but it seems there has been at least a little silver lining within this year. With the world scrambling to find things to do it seems our favorite kinds of motorcycle sales are up. The folks at the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) have crunched the numbers and have the good news for us. IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 11, 2020 — Off-highway motorcycle sales rocketed 50.3 percent in the first half of the year compared with the same period last year, while dual-purpose motorcycle sales jumped 20.9 percent in the same time frame, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council Retail Sales Reporting System. “Riding dirt and trail bikes has always been one of the best ways to spend time with family and friends,” said Erik Pritchard, president and CEO of the Motorcycle Industry Council. “Now, with the pandemic, it has amplified what’s positive about getting out on motorcycles. You can get out of the house, have fun with your loved ones, and still maintain social distancing.” Off-highway motorcycles include dirt bikes, trail bikes, competition motorcycles, and other motorized two-wheelers that cannot be used on public roads. Dual-purpose motorcycles are street legal and are also designed to be used on off-road trails. On-highway motorcycles saw sales dip 9.6 percent, while scooter sales rose 4 percent. Combined with off-highway and dual, this puts total motorcycle sales in the first half of the year up 6.4 percent compared with 2019. The MIC recently launched a Commuter Distancing campaign to encourage people to consider motorized two- and three-wheelers as transportation alternatives. “There are many benefits to motorcycles and scooters,” Pritchard said. “In normal times, studies have shown that they help alleviate congestion. During this pandemic, being on a motorcycle means being able to avoid crowds and lessening the chance of spreading and picking up germs. And many riders say it adds fun to a normally mundane commute. Our Commuter Distancing social media posts are a reminder of these benefits.” The Commuter Distancing posts point people to FindYourRide.org, where they can quickly find information on how to get rider training and where to find a bike. “It’s just a first step, and many in the powersports industry are waiting to help riders-to-be explore their options,” Pritchard said. “Sales from the first half of the year indicate growing interest in powersports products and we’re excited to help them on their journey.” The MIC Retail Sales Reporting System gathers new motorcycle sales data from the 14 leading manufacturers and distributors in the U.S., providing a strong indicator of sales trends. The Motorcycle Industry Council exists to preserve, protect, and promote motorcycling through government relations, communications, media relations, statistics and research, aftermarket programs, data communications standards, and involvement in technical and regulatory issues. As a not-for-profit national industry association, the MIC seeks to support motorcyclists by representing manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and retailers of motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, ROVs, motorcycle/ATV/ROV parts, accessories, and related services, and members of allied trades such as insurance, finance and investment companies, media companies, and consultants. The MIC is headquartered in Irvine, Calif., with a government relations office in metropolitan Washington, D.C. First called the MIC in 1970, the organization has been in operation since 1914.

Published in: News Just when we thought Yamaha's Tenere 700 was making waves, digital art prototype images from artist and industrial designer Maxime Lefebvre tease a water powered Yamaha XT 500 H2O motorcycle. Although it looks nothing at all like a traditional XT500 (or anything resembling a functional dual-sport for that matter), the idea itself of a water powered engine and bike is fascinating. Increased amounts of electric motorcycle news in recent years has overshadowed discussions of other alternative powerplant systems. Accompanying illustraions show the artistic evolution and intentional off-road spirit of this machine, athough almost none of that made it into the color 3D modeled version. Several obvious functional problems with the artistic renditions as well as complete lack of details on how such a revolutionary engine would work, place this firmly in unicorn-dreamland territory for now. That said, we LOVE creative motorcycle artwork here at ADVMoto which you can see in our FarRider Comics series and the Suzuki DRZ400 Rally concept art projects. It also begs the question: Are other forms of power aside from electric practical for small vehicle transportation? Also, are adventure/daul-sport bikes becoming de rigueur for new models of bikes? The engine described here is unlike anything we've seen before, and quite the opposite of Suzuki's water producing hyrdogen powered fuel-cell scooter. Artwork text describes,"The concept is equipped with a water engine. Basically this engine just needs water, but to be effective it needs a water pump. With almost no loss, this engine fit perfectly with the XT philsosophy. Go far, everywehere, and with simplicity." Two of the hefty claims in the power plant graphic are "mute" and "inexhaustable." Even if this is a super high ressure water jet propulsion system, where would the power come from? Also, what are the chances that it would be any more silent that an electric motor? Maybe it would have a crazy turbine like hum? Also interesting is Maxime's Honda brand concept that appears to be 100% inspired by the little known motorcycle anime series Rideback by Tetsuro Kasahara. If you're into Manga and motorcycles, Rideback is a must watch. We don't recommend anyone hold their breath for this but in a strange science fiction sort of way, it's neat to dream! Although the relationship between Yamaha and Lefebvre appears to be official (we'll check and update here), claims of the Dyson Vacuum visually inspired new XT500 becoming a reality is tanalizingly close. Rumors of this going to production by 2025 would also seem far fetched, but crazier things have happened. Until then, we're happy sticking with Yamaha's Tenere 700 which is still new to us in North America and looks to have a nothing but promising future only using water to cool it's traditional combustion engine.

Published in: News Mosko Moto is stoked to announce the immediate availability of the Woodsman Enduro Pant, the ultimate dual sport pant. It is as at home on long days trail riding, as it is on extended ADV trips. The hybrid design puts Schoeller waterproof breathable material over the knees and seat for added protection from wet brush or stream crossings, while the DWR coated nylon oxford upper adds breathability. On hotter days open up 4 flow through mesh lined vents for added comfort, making this a true 4 season pant. Built with an in-the-boot cut for added durability when riding tight single track and stretch materials for maximum mobility in difficult terrain. The Woodsman Enduro Pant breaks free from the convention that you need a waterproof ADV pant, all the time. We call it our 90% pant, because 90% of the time, they are exactly what you need. In place of ultimate weather protection, we focused on maximizing comfort and mobility with stretch material and a hybrid design to put function where you need it. Fully featured with an adjustable waist, 4 vents, 2 hand pockets and 2 cargo pockets, these pants are as great to wear around camp as they are to ride in. The in-the boot cut also has a full-length inseam, so you don’t get that moto-capri look when off of the bike. We also bonded the hem to reduce bulk inside the boot. • Woodsman Pant Features Hybrid material construction Durable Stretch Nylon Fabrics In-The-Boot Design 4 Mesh Lined Vents with Flow thru Venting 2 Hand Pocket, 2 Cargo Pockets with Internal Phone/accessories sleeve Adjustable Waist Articulated Fit, cut to go over armor Full Length Inseam to avoid that Moto Capri look Bonded low-profile hem to reduce bunching in boot YKK Zippers High performance DWR (Durable Water Repellent) Offered in Tamarack & Canyon colorways.

Published in: News A fan favorite, the Kawasaki KLX family of off-road motorcycles are widely popular for their low maintenance, easy-to-ride character, and incredible capabilities while out on the trails. Completing the rest of the 2021 KLX line up are five additional models, which consist of four engine configurations and are built to suit a variety of riders. The KLX 230 dual-purpose motorcycle is built to take riders to new places. Taking cues from the KX line and Kawasaki’s racing heritage, this street legal, dual-purpose motorcycle has been designed to enable riders to get out of town and enjoy the trails with confidence. A smooth and reliable powerful, 233cc fuel-injected, air-cooled engine has been paired with an easy-to-use smooth-shifting six-speed transmission and manual clutch, and a compact steel perimeter frame, which were all designed with trail riding in mind. Full-size wheels, long-travel suspension, and ample ground clearance contribute to the off-road capability of the KLX 230 motorcycle. Front and rear disc brakes supported by Kawasaki’s first dual-purpose ABS provide sure stopping power when riding on trails as well as on-road. The KLX 300R off-road motorcycle bridges the gap between a weekend play bike and a full race bike. As the flagship of the KLX lineup, the KLX 300R combines the best of both engine and chassis performance to create the ultimate lightweight, fun off-road machine. The powerful 292cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled four-stroke engine features an electric starter and keyless ignition. It has a user-friendly smooth-shifting six-speed transmission and manual clutch. The KLX300R comes equipped with full-size off-road wheels and tires, using a 21” front and 18” rear, and long travel suspension for optimal ground clearance. The KLX 140R F motorcycle is the third variation of the KLX 140 models and is designed to provide a natural terrain experience with memories to last a lifetime. The powerful 144cc, four-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine features an electric starter and keyless ignition. Its broad and smooth high-revving 144cc engine utilizes a manual clutch and five-speed transmission to offer an efficient and user-friendly feel. The KLX 140R F comes equipped with full-size off-road wheels and tires, using a 21” front and 18” rear. The KLX 110R is a great motorcycle for a new rider who is looking to experience off-road for the first time. A high-tensile steel frame, 30mm telescopic fork, and single rear shock provide easy handling and maximum longevity. It also incorporates an automatic centrifugal clutch system that allows easy take off and shifting through the gears, helping the rider maintain focus on the terrain and to make the most of the 112cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. The larger KLX 110R L motorcycle has a taller seat height (28.7” compared to 26.8” for the KLX110R), longer suspension travel, an extra 1.9” of ground clearance and a four-speed transmission with a manual clutch. No matter your size or skill level, there is a KLX model motorcycle to allow you to get out and play with Kawasaki.

Published in: News SRC MOTO, Innovations for Adventure, is now offering a new lowering link for the Honda CRF250L and CRF250L Rally. For some reason, the Honda CRF250L and Rally have really tall seat heights (over 35" and taller than the Africa Twin!?! ), especially for a small displacement bike that many beginners gravitate to. So SRC MOTO has some new options to help get your feet firmly back on the ground. In addition to their 2-½” lower seats for Honda CRF250L and Rally, they now offer lowering links made in the USA by SRC MOTO: 250L 1.75" Lowering Link: For the standard 2013-2020 HONDA CRF250L, this SRC MOTO LINK that lowers the bike 1-3/4" (44.5mm); RALLY 1.5" Lowering Link: This SRC MOTO LINK lowers the 2017-2020 HONDA CRF250L Rally 1-5" (38mm) in the rear. The SRC MOTO Lowering Links are available for $148.00 each and are easily installed in about half an hour with common hand tools. Current models supported are the 2013 - 2020 Honda CRF250L and 2017 - 2020 CRF250L Rally. Additional models are in the works as well. Scott Hart, President of SRC MOTO & MOTO STUFF added: “We heard many complaints from riders regarding the height of the Honda 250L and Rally, making it difficult to fully touch the ground for many riders, which in our experience, is never a good thing for confidence. We saw the opportunity to provide these lowering links to solve the problem, they make a big difference.” {youtube}Wnc2hhqlfkI{/youtube} These new lower links are available at www.srcmoto.com in the suspension category along with other protective guards, racks & luggage and electrical components.

It’s a new jacket technology with protections on the inside, offering riders everything they need in a single garment. Motorcycle jackets designed with this technology allow riders to use the three layers (Armor/ Soft Shell/ Hard Shell) in multiple combinations for any conditions. The first ever jacket integrating STEP-INARMOR technology is the Mission-T, featuring premium materials and components such as Dermizax® laminate, Level 2 protectors and bi-elastic soft shell for an unparalleled comfort in any weather conditions. STEP-INARMOR jackets feature an abrasion resistant inner mesh layer with impact protectors. This revolutionary concept allows riders to stay geared up when wearing the lightweight armor alone on the warmest summer days. The armor fit is slim, to better keep the protectors snug to the body and reduce shifting during a crash. The middle layer, a Comforce Technology thermal liner is wearable off bike too and includes a Windout membrane to block the wind while maintaining an extreme breathability level, thus granting a dramatic reduction of wind chill effect. Light, comfortable and finely designed, this casual garment can be sported whilst taking a break from the road or in combination with the other layers. A groundbreaking innovation inspired by extreme mountaineering, the external layer is a super high-tech, ultra-lightweight hard shell protecting riders from the elements, without compromising on comfort or style. Handy and versatile, this water- and wind-proof shell perfectly combines comfort and style thanks to H2Out® waterproof & breathable membrane. H2Out® is SPIDI’s proprietary membrane, windproof, waterproof, and at the same time breathable, light, and flexible. The hard shell can be used as a rain jacket over any other multi-functional garment. By mixing and matching the three layers, riders can create six different configurations and adapt the jacket to their surroundings. The Mission-T is the lightest adventure jacket ever designed by SPIDI and the STEP-INARMOR technology offers riders everything they need in a single garment. • More Info: MSRP: $699.90 Jacket colors: Black, Ice/Black Jacket sizes: S-3XL Spidi.comSource

Published in: News This summer, Mitas has listened to popular demand and is enhancing its offering to the adventure segment of the motorcycle market by reintroducing a number of sizes to its E-07 range alongside the successful E-07+ to give riders in this dynamic segment even more choice. “The E-07 is a true 50% on-road and 50% off-road adventure tire. Over its long years of service it has continued to be one of the most desirable choices for adventure riders, as it combines road riding performance and wear with more adventurous off-road trips. Due to its hard wearing compound and optimal performance on- and off-road, the E-07 remains a preferred choice on many journeys across the world,” explains Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, Vice President Two Wheels and Specialty Tires. The E-07+ is a class-leading 60% on-road and 40% off-road adventure tire. It is for those riders of larger adventure motorcycles with higher engine displacement and power outputs, who are looking for great off-road performance, as well as improved road performance. Since the tread design is slightly more on-road oriented than the original E-07, both aforementioned requirements are met. A bigger knobby design provides plenty of open space between the tread blocks to displace sand, mud and water from the contact patch, while keeping enough rubber between the road and the rotating tire. Select sizes of E-07 and E-07+ are available in the Dakar version (marked with a yellow stripe) featuring a reinforced carcass, higher puncture resistance and harder compound. It is ideal for higher loads, longer adventure trips and extreme conditions. Both patterns remain fully interchangeable and compatible between front and rear (e.g. E-07 front, E-07+ rear), thereby offering a degree of personalization that only Mitas can offer to the market. All tubeless (TL) versions of both E-07 and E-07+ can be used with a tube on tube type rims. More info and pre-order: TwistedThrottle.com Source

Published in: News The updated and redesigned 2019-20 Honda CB500X deserves an updated selection of VStream Windscreens to make it absolutely perfect. Three different sizes and tints ensure a correct windscreen for almost every rider size or riding preference. All will offer improved wind protection and riding comfort compared to other aftermarket windscreens. VStream gets its name from its unique patented shape. The advanced “V” profile and dimensional contours push the wind vortex out and away from the rider's helmet, resulting in a peaceful, quieter riding environment. These windscreens are made from tough 3.0mm Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate. This high quality material, along with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, provides outstanding clarity, impact strength and scratch resistance unmatched by any windscreen maker worldwide. Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate is the material of choice for serious motorcycle riders. It is 10X more abrasion resistant than FMR hardcoated polycarbonate, and 30X more than windscreens made from commonly used acrylic or “aircraft plastic”. VStream Windscreens are easy to install and are protected by a 3-year warranty against breakage! NationalCycle.com MSRP: $121.95-139.95 Source

Published in: News The engineers at Touratech have created an all-new skid plate for the KTM 790 Adventure and Adventure R using a combination of manufacturing methods to achieve maximum protection for this unique motorcycle. Although riders have welcomed the great handling and low center of gravity on the KTM 790 Adventure, some are concerned about the vulnerability of the fuel tanks. While some skid plates accommodate the stock plastic guards, Touratech chose a different approach. The RallyeForm Skid Plate protects the fuel tanks with 4mm aluminum guards that are pressed into the perfect shape using 500,000 pounds of force. The result is a strong shield that protects the fuel tanks from damage while fitting the exact contours of the tanks. The tank guards are integrated with the lower portion of the skid plate which is precision crafted from 4mm thick aluminum alloy. This bottom portion is designed to give the maximum protection during hard hits on rocks, stumps, or bottoming out the bike off-road. The folded ridges give the aluminum material better rigidity while also maximizing ground clearance for off-road riding. “The KTM 790 is one of the most agile twin-cylinder motorcycles in the ADV class and the RallyeForm Skid Plate provides the protection riders want for exploring rugged terrain. Many will also appreciate the way it enhances the adventure styling of this beautiful machine.” -Iain Glynn, Chief Riding Officer, Touratech-USA There are four color combinations available: silver base & silver tank guards, silver base & black tank guards, black base & silver tank guards, and black base & black tank guards. Unlike other plates on the market, the RallyeForm Skid Plate can be combined with Touratech engine and fairing crash bars for complete protection of your 790 Adventure.
