NVP/ATV/UTV & More

This was a busy issue for us, with the NVp product Expo in Milwaukee just around the corner, as well as an indepth look at the all-important four-wheel At V & Ut V market. Starting with the semiannual NVp, the products that dealers will see there will be—for the most part—new for 2027.

It was only a few years ago that LeMans moved the Fall event to Milwaukee from Madison and it didn’t take long for the baird Center in downtown Milwaukee to prove itself to be a very capable location and facility for parts Unlimited’s vendors, dealers and sales reps to talk and learn about what will be hot next year.

be sure to check out our 12-page preview of event which will be held on September 12th and 13th the story begins on page 32.

And as I mentioned, we also feature the booming At V/Ut V Market which continues to product strong results in both vehicle sales and aftermarket products carried by parts Unlimited. Starting on page 44, we have a 22-page special section of 4-wheel products for your review. be sure to have a look and yes, you can expect to see these leading manufacturers at the Milwaukee NVp

One special note about this month’s parts Unlimited Dealer profile. It’s well known that most powersport dealers from coast to coast also carry At Vs and Ut Vs along with various two-wheel brands. What you see starting on page 86 is the story of a dealer who only carries At Vs, Ut Vs, snowmobiles and trailers. Check out the story about A+ powersports of Elkhorn, Wisconsin.

We look forward to seeing you at the baird Center in Milwaukee in September. ■

NEWS EVENTS AND Championship Charge

CHAMPIONSHIP CHARGE BACK-TO-BACK OVERALL WINS PUT DAVIES IN THE TITLE FIGHT Photos courtesy of Yamaha Motor Corporation

THOr/Monster Energy Yamaha Star racing’s Cole Davies found his stride at a key point in the pro Motocross season. Starting with an overall victory at redbud and continuing with a dominant sweep at Washougal, the tHOr-backed New Zealander turned a sizable championship deficit into a tight fight for the 250MX title.

Davies arrived at redbud with momentum and quickly kept it rolling. He qualified fastest for the third consecutive round, then went 1-2 in the motos to secure his second straight overall victory.

In Moto 1, Davies started near the front and settled into second behind teammate Caden Dudney. the two battled for the

lead before Davies mounted a late charge, made the pass and pulled away for his third consecutive moto win and fourth of the season.

Davies grabbed the holeshot in Moto 2 and led for most of the race. title rival Jo Shimoda passed him with five laps remaining, but Davies brought home second place to earn the overall win. the result trimmed his championship deficit to four points.

“It was a really good day,” Davies said. “I qualified first and went 1-2 in moto scores for first overall. We’ll just keep building each round and keep gaining points back. We’re well in this thing, so we’ll just keep on fighting for this championship, and hopefully by the end of the season we’ll be in a good spot.”

NEWS EVENTS AND

the championship picture shifted over the next few rounds, and Davies arrived at Washougal facing a 25-point deficit. He needed a strong response to stay in the title hunt.

He delivered one. racing at Washougal MX park for the first time, Davies set the pace from the start. He topped 250MX qualifying, grabbed the Moto 1 holeshot and led every lap.

While a crash behind him collected several riders, Davies stayed clear of the trouble. He recorded the fastest lap on Lap 3, built a comfortable lead and took his fifth moto victory of the season by 17 seconds.

Moto 2 required Davies to work through the field. He started seventh but quickly moved forward, took the lead on Lap 2 and again set the fastest lap of the race. From there, he went unchallenged and completed the 1-1 sweep.

the result gave Davies his sixth moto win and third overall victory of the season. More importantly, it cut the championship gap from 25 points to seven with three rounds remaining.

“It was a good day today – qualified first and won both motos,” Davies said. “I really feel like I kind of needed this to get back into the championship hunt. I’m not going to back down. We’re ready to fight till the end, and hopefully we’re going to be in a good spot coming down to the last race and last round. It was honestly pretty slick and sketchy out there, but I had fun. It was a good day, and we’re ready to keep this going.”

Davies left Washougal firmly back in the championship fight. His redbud win showed he could deliver under pressure. His Washougal sweep showed he could answer when the points gap widened.

With three rounds left as of press time, seven points separate Davies from the red plate. the title remains within reach, and his performances at redbud and Washougal made it clear he plans to fight for it until the end. ■

RACING WITH PURPOSE BTR BUILDS CONFIDENCE,

It began as a four-rider exhibition, a marketing experiment that gave women riders an opportunity to experience factory-supported racing on a professional track. Since first laying tread in 2020, the royal Enfield build.train.race program has evolved into a fixture in both the MotoAmerica and American Flat track series. Its success may have seemed unlikely, especially for a brand with a relatively small U.S. presence and no lineup of dedicated competition motorcycles.

but perhaps that irony helped fuel its rise. by stripping away the prestige and advanced technology of racing’s elite levels, the program showed that it was still possible to join the throttle-twisting fun. It opened a path into an otherwise hard-to-reach world of competition, while the spec-racing format, with all riders aboard classic, air-cooled royal Enfield 650cc motorcycles showcased a pure riders’ race.

the result was a fresh perspective that fans were ready to embrace. Now in its seventh year, the royal Enfield btr program, with support from parts Unlimited as a sponsor, has found its place among the elite ranks of road racing and flat track, where it is not only surviving but thriving.

“We always have the biggest fan lines at MotoAmerica and American Flat track,” says Jenny Lewis, Custom & Motorsports program Manager, USA. “It’s always little girls that are watching. that’s what we’re there to empower. Little girls, adults, women at any age.”

Although btr is a competitive series, its riders share a strong sense of solidarity and a larger goal: inspiring more women to ride and more riders to race. that bigger picture matters, Lewis explains, but so does the racing. At its core, btr remains a hard-fought national series with a title on the line.

COMMUNITY AND CONTENDERS

“It’s a unique program because it has the seriousness and legitimacy of racing. When we’re at the track it’s serious. but it is also a positive, encouraging environment designed to foster growth and camaraderie, which, if you’re from the racing world, you know is a rare thing,” says Lewis. “ that’s why parts Unlimited is so special to us. they sponsor so many pro riders and pro teams, but they love our program and see it as a professional, but unique, racing program and they see it as this enlightened path into the racing world. Like us, they love the heartfelt stories, but also appreciate the professional approach to serious, competitive racing.”

Solidarity in the pits alongside cutthroat competition on the track is a delicate balance to maintain, and according to Lewis, it’s essential for everyone on the team to understand that.

“In the beginning we’re pretty cutthroat about it in the application process. Like, listen. I need you guys and want you guys to be as competitive as you possibly can, but you have to be teammates when you come under the tent. I need you to understand that we’re here for a bigger cause,” she explains. “We’re kind of asking them to be completely opposite of what you’re supposed to be as a racer, but that discipline and temperance is at the core of build.train.race. to bring the fire, but leave it all on the track is what teaches someone to be a better racer.”

THE ROAD TO RACING

btr has found success with its two-year format. riders accepted into the program through an annual application

process are offered a two-year contract. Each racer receives guidance from professional mechanics during the build phase and training from professional racers: Johnny Lewis on the flat track side and world champion Freddie Spencer on the road racing side. A third layer of guidance comes from the women themselves, with experienced riders often taking rookies under their wing.

“ the program really self-sustains at this point because of the two-year format. the second-year girls are always there

to set the tone and foster an example for the first-years,” Lewis says. “ they all really click and look after each other. We have some young riders, some fresh 18-yearolds and this is a huge change for a lot of them. You’re an adult, you signed a contract and you’re here to do a job. they need to learn the program and learn the boundaries. the way the return riders are always looking in on the other riders, you can see it just trickles through.”

the progress in racing abilities from the first year to the second is another goal behind the two-year format. brazilian rider tati paze is a shining example. She went from the back of the pack last season to celebrating her first career win in 2026 at the ridge. Not only that, paze is the program’s first-ever brazilian rider to win a race. royal Enfield maintains strong ties to brazil, where build.train.race expanded its road race applications in 2025.

“ tati worked really, really hard this winter and has been on the podium multiple times, and finally won,” Lewis says. “On top of that, she really wanted to better her English, so she also worked hard to speak English during her off-season as well, which was pretty awesome.”

the life-changing impact of the btr program was on full display as paze delivered a podium speech in English: “btr race win for me is incredible. It’s a dream! I dream about not only podium, not only race, but it’s a dream. My life. thank you for my sponsors, my family, my friends, thank you.”

On the flat track side, the 2026 btr series has already wrapped up with Emma Gottsch claiming the crown,

although it was Madicela rodriguez, also a btr racer from brazil, who earned the win at the final round at the Williams Grove Half-Mile. After being edged out for the championship last year, Gottsch was not to be denied in 2026. She claimed three victories and two runner-up finishes to handily claim the No. 1 plate in her final btr race.

“I gave it everything I had on the track, knowing I only had two years total on my royal Enfield,” Gottsch says. “I’m so bummed that my two-year contract with build.train.race and royal Enfield has come to an end. I can’t express how incredible this opportunity has been or how grateful I am to have been part of this team. thank you for an unforgettable two years.”

For parent company royal Enfield, the btr program is still young within the scope of its 125-year history, a milestone the company is reaching this year. It is also a program in which the company continues to see a promising future.

“As we hit 125 years, we are feeling younger than ever,” says Adrian Sellers, Head – Custom & Motorsport at royal Enfield. “It’s been another great season where the championship has gone down to the wire. Each year this program delivers close racing, some standout performers, but most importantly, progress and development for every rider throughout the field, which is the whole ethos of the program. We’re proud of every rider who competed in this year’s campaign and love witnessing the progression throughout the year. We can’t wait to see what next year brings.” ■

CATCHING FIRE MOOSE OFFROAD ATHLETES STACK WINS AND TITLES

Sometimes timing is everything. As American off-road racing reached its 2026 midseason a number of Moose Offroad athletes have reached meteoric heights, setting career-best finishes, clinching championships, and even making history with unprecedented wins.

Moose Offroad athlete Jhak Walker began his season on a strong note, but has caught fire deep into the racing season. Walker was holding his own in the XC2 pro ranks of GNCC, and celebrated a career-first podium in the pro2 ranks of the American National Enduro Championship (ANEC). two rounds later at the Little raccoon National Enduro, the LIQUI MOLY beta Factory rider got on the overall podium in third, also claiming his first pro2 win. the very next round, at the barbed Wire National Enduro, Walker made history as the first-ever pro2 rider to overall a National Enduro!

the victory has given Walker a massive boost in the pro 2 points chase where he is neck and neck for the championship, but it is another Moose Offroad athlete who remains atop the overall points: Liam Draper of the Ampro Yamaha team. Draper claimed the overall win at the Little raccoon, and carded third at the barbed Wire to remain comfortably in control of the pro 1 ranks. Following the summer break, the series has three rounds left to run, and plenty of points still up for grabs.

As for championships that have already been clinched, Rachel Gutish claimed a second-consecutive FIM Women’s Enduro World Championship at the EnduroGp of portugal. the Moose-backed racer made history last year as the first-ever American to claim an EnduroGp World Championship, and has now doubled-down on her impressive feat.

OFF-ROAD RACING UPDATE

At the U.S. Sprint Enduro season final on June 14, K tM USA Orange brigade rider Cooper Jones impressed with a strong performance, and a fierce battle for the overall. Jones swept the enduro tests on Saturday, and finished second overall on the weekend, clinching the pro2 title, and securing second in the overall championship. “I ended up getting it done early,” said Jones. “I stayed consistent all year, and I had quite a few battles with Grant [Davis] so overall it was a super good season.”

In the GNCC Series, Moose Offroad teams and riders are also fighting forward. pHX racing Honda’s Jordan Ashburn took over the championship lead after a pair of impressive wins at rounds 5 and 6, but in the following two rounds his luck took a turn, setting him up for a challenge. Ashburn rebounded at round 9, getting himself back onto the podium at the Snowshoe GNCC where he also regained the points lead. “It was brutal,” said Ashburn. “Conditions were super slick and super technical. I think power point Hill was harder than it’s ever been this year. We had some good racing and I’m pumped to come out of here with a podium today.”

A landmark podium at the Snowshoe GNCC went to his pHX racing Honda teammate Gus Riordan, who marked a

career-best finish in second overall, also claiming another XC2 win. “I usually leave this race with my lip on the ground and my head between my legs,” said riordan. “ this place normally kicks my butt, so I told the boys I’m going to make this hill mine. And yeah, it felt good. It was one hell of a race.”

Out west in the WOrCS championship, Mason Semmens is also on a podium streak where he leads the points. Semmens entertained at Glen Helen with a thrilling battle for the overall with tyler Lynn. Semmens had to settle for second on the day, but the FMF/rpM/K tM rider remains in control of the championship.

In the WOrCS pro 250 ranks, FMF/rpM/K tM teammates Noah Gordon and Cole Zeller did battle at Glen Helen, both finishing on the podium. but it is Zeller who remains in control of the pro 250 title chase.

the peak heat of summer marks the only real break in the season for Moose Offroad athletes, otherwise engaged in year-round battle. When temperatures begin to cool off, battles will resume with racers hungrier than ever for wins and number-one plates. ■

BETTER TEAMS, BETTER BUSINESS

WHY KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF MATTER MORE THAN EVER

Many customers compare products, prices and reviews well before visiting a dealership. Expert guidance in the showroom helps turn that research into confident buying decisions.

“The LeMans Growth Academy helps dealerships turn team members into trusted advisors, creating a better experience for riders and stronger business results for dealers. And, because it’s provided free of charge, there’s simply no downside to taking advantage of it.”

Paul Devine, LeMans Corporation, Vice President of Sales & Marketing

For today’s powersports customers, the buying process often starts long before they visit a dealership. research, product comparisons and recommendations increasingly happen online, raising the bar for what customers expect once they arrive in the showroom.

“Customers are coming into motorcycle dealerships expecting more information, and they want it presented better, more focused on their needs. If they’re not getting that, what are they doing? they’re either buying this stuff online or they’re saying, screw this, if you can’t tell me about the best suspension and tires and seats for my bike, if you can’t solve my problem, I’ll go buy somewhere else,” says Kurt Kaufmann, with the LeMans Growth Academy.

Why? because the dealership is still where most sales are made. the difference is that today’s customers often arrive after researching products online, comparing prices and narrowing their options. Estimates suggest about 80% of shoppers research online before ever walking through the door.

Customers do that research for several reasons. Economic pressure has shoppers comparing prices before they visit a store. they’re also looking to save time by using their phones or computers to narrow their choices. And recommendations from friends, influencers and others they follow

on social media increasingly shape their buying decisions. by the time customers walk into your dealership, they’re often better informed or at least much closer to making a purchase. that changes the job for both dealership staff and the manufacturers supplying product information.

First, customers need to be able to find your dealership online, know when you’re open and see the products you carry before they ever arrive. then, once they’re in the store, your staff needs to know those products well enough to answer questions, solve problems and give customers a reason to buy from you instead of somewhere else.

PEOPLE POWER

Outside of the retail powersports world, some restaurants and big-box stores think they can solve this information problem with more computers.

“Do powersports customers want to walk in and order their exhaust off a kiosk? probably not,” says Kaufmann. “but in the absence of better trained staff, a decision is going to happen in this space, no different than what’s happening in these other retail spaces.”

LEMANS GROWTH ACADEMY

the advantage dealerships still have is the human element. Staff who can answer questions, solve problems and build relationships give customers a reason to buy in person. but he also warns that dealers who fail to invest in the in-store experience risk losing the value that has traditionally set brick-and-mortar retailers apart.

“As retail continues to evolve, the customer experience inside the dealership becomes even more important,” says paul Devine, Vice president, Sales and Marketing for LeMans Corporation. “Consumers can research products anywhere, but they still value expert advice and personal service when making buying decisions.”

LeMans created the Growth Academy to help dealerships build on one of their greatest strengths: knowledgeable people. Caleb Schillo, a salesperson at rJ Sport & Cycle in Duluth, Minnesota, has been putting the training to use.

“ the big immediate difference is confidence at the counter. Instead of guessing or second-guessing, you can speak clearly on a product and help guide someone to the right choice,” Schillo says. “On the tangible side, it leads to better conversations and more complete sales. Customers aren’t just buying one item; they’re getting everything they actually need the first time.”

Kaufmann believes that confidence comes from a combination of personal commitment and industry support. Dealership staff have to invest in improving their knowledge, he says, and the industry has a responsibility to provide the training and resources to help them succeed.

According to Schillo, the payoff extends beyond the sale. Using the Growth Academy training tools has also helped him build trust with customers. “Customers can tell when you know what you’re talking about,” he notes, “and that usually brings them back.”

BUILDING BETTER TEAMS

Kaufmann believes the Growth Academy is about more than product knowledge. It’s also about rebuilding one of the industry’s greatest strengths: knowledgeable people.

“A big part of this effort is reviving a community within the powersports marketplace. I would argue there’s been a degradation of that over the years as cheap knockoff products have come in, say through Amazon or promoted by ‘experts’ on Youtube,” says Kaufmann.

the goal, he says, is to strengthen the human capital inside dealerships by giving employees the tools to become informed, credible team members who are more likely to stay and succeed.

For Jesse barnes of pro Motorsports in West burlington, Iowa, one of the biggest benefits is that the training goes beyond individual products.

“ the training from the different brands in the LeMans Growth Academy has specifics on identifying different customer types and needs. It helps with ways to approach customers and ask questions to help them find the right products, which a salesperson can then apply across different brands and products,” says barnes. “AMS tires, for example, specifically teaches you ways to ask a customer questions and present a product from there based on their needs and wants.”

Devine says that’s the larger objective. “ the LeMans Growth Academy helps dealerships turn team members into trusted advisors, creating a better experience for riders and stronger business results for dealers,” he says. “And, because it’s provided free of charge, there’s simply no downside to taking advantage of it.”

Available around the clock, the Growth Academy gives dealership employees the flexibility to complete training whenever it best fits their schedules. As the program continues to grow, Kaufmann says the Growth Academy can help dealerships:

• Prepare for the next phase of retail’s evolution.

• Inform the next generation of salespeople.

• Turn workers into experts.

• Create career pathways for more confident team members. ■

Product knowledge builds confidence at the counter. The LeMans Growth Academy gives dealership teams practical training they can apply in every customer conversation.
Available anytime at no cost, the LeMans Growth Academy helps dealerships develop knowledgeable teams that build customer trust and support longterm business growth.

CHASING THE THREE-PEAT

Winning back-to-back WMX titles has not slowed Lachlan turner. If anything, the 19-year-old Moose Offroad athlete seems to work harder with each step forward. And it’s a good thing, because the competition, as well as the media visibility of the Women’s Motocross Championship, is on a meteoric rise.

Midway through the 2026 season, Lachlan, known as Lala, leads the way, having taken four of six moto wins so far, only giving up one overall win at round three at High point. Win or lose, Lala never fails to keep things exciting in a season that has already been full of fights to the finish.

Following the success of her first season as a pro in 2024 where she went nearly undefeated, turner fueled her momentum by moving to Club MX to train full time – a luxury she had never had before. the Moose Offroad-backed rider took another significant step forward this season when she joined “group one” at Club MX, advancing from training with the top amateurs to training with the pros. It’s a move Lala felt needed to happen.

“My mom was like, ‘Well just go tell them to move you to group one.’ I’m like, ‘No. I’m going to show ‘em,’” Lala explains.

“For three weeks solid I literally beat everyone in group two and they moved me to group one. they were like, ‘We were just waiting for that confidence and now you’re ready for group one.’ Now I’m riding with all the pro guys.”

She is reveling in the challenge of riding with racers faster than her. “Once I moved to group one, I started chasing faster people and it’s crazy how different a rider I am now.”

that’s bad news for her competition. Four-time Australian women’s champion Charli Cannon is her closest competition, and the two have already banged bars at multiple rounds, always putting on a show for fans. At round one at Hangtown, Lala narrowly defeated the Aussie in an all-out battle to the checkers in moto two to claim a 1-1 victory.

the following round at thunder Valley brought some exciting news: MXGp women’s champion Lotte van Drunen was coming to the U.S. If anyone could challenge Lachlan turner, surely it would be the two-time world champion. “I’d heard so many things, and thought, ‘Okay, I finally get to race her,’” Lala says. “because every time I would race Mini O’s she would be hurt, or I would be hurt when she came there.”

Back-to-back WMX champion and Moose Offroad athlete Lala Turner holds the first-place trophy at Thunder Valley, where she continued building momentum toward a possible third straight title.

LACHLAN TURNER KEEPS PUSHING AS WMX COMPETITION GROWS

the two champions finally had a chance to square off, but the grand rivalry didn’t exactly take place, largely due to the fact that van Drunen was on a stock bike at thunder Valley, a place where elevation also takes a power-robbing toll. At the following round at High point, van Drunen was saddled with more technical issues while turner was hampered by an illness. “I haven’t got to really battle with her yet,” Lala says. “I really want to battle with her and see how it is. We’ll see how that goes.”

High point brought out an unexpected spoiler with Mayla Herrick making her pro debut, the young rookie turning 17 on that day. She claimed a stunning win in the first moto, but crashed spectacularly in the second moto, ending her day, but serving notice she is ready to be a serious contender. (Fortunately, she suffered only minor injuries.)

As for the incoming talent, from the world championship, the rookie ranks, and her archrival from Down Under, Lala says bring it on. “ the series is definitely getting bigger over here. We got more people involved and everyone’s coming over to try to race us. I really hope everyone overseas comes here and makes this their main championship. that’d be sick. Maybe we get a bigger pro purse and can make a living off it,” she says with a laugh.

Lala’s ambitions don’t even stop at WMX. She plans to wrap up her third championship, but is looking to take another step in her career. “I don’t want to race just WMX. I want to race pro Motocross and Supercross,” she explains. “It’s my dream.”

the fact that it has never been done by a woman doesn’t seem to faze her at all. “I grew up with a lot of people thinking I couldn’t do it, so I’m mentally strong with anything that comes my way,” she says. “I definitely want to prove to everyone that girls are better than what they think we are [capable of].”

that determination has not gone unnoticed by the team supporting her.

“Lala is a super hard worker and has a never-give-up attitude,” says Carl van Niekerk, Moose Offroad rider Support. “We’ve seen her accomplish so much already and she’s still only 19. Everyone at Moose Offroad is thrilled to be with her on this journey and I think we’ll continue to see great things.” ■

At Hangtown, Lala Turner set the early tone for 2026 by going 1-1 and holding off a hard-charging field on the way to victory.
At 19, Moose Offroad rider Lala Turner is already a two-time WMX champion, but her goals stretch beyond another title to racing Pro Motocross and Supercross.

At Vs and Ut Vs have been one of the strongest parts of the U.S. powersports market for years. that staying power is good news for dealers. these machines work, play and do just about everything in between. Farmers, ranchers, hunters, contractors and property owners rely on them every day. trail riders and adventure-focused customers use them to haul gear, cover ground and get farther off the map. that broad appeal keeps the segment moving.

According to Market Data Forecast (a market research, business intelligence and consulting firm) the North American At V and Ut V market was valued at $10.90 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $11.76 billion in 2026. the machines themselves are changing just as fast.

Horsepower still grabs attention, but it is no longer the only fight. Enclosed cabs, factory HVAC, quieter interiors, better suspension and automotive-style technology are reshaping what customers expect from a side-by-side.

Utility models remain the backbone of the category. they serve the widest range of buyers and handle everything from ranch work and property upkeep to hunting trips and weekend trail rides. Customers can choose a basic work machine, a midsize crossover or a premium enclosed model built for year-round use.

At the same time, recreation-utility and sportier models continue to blur the line between work and play. More comfort, more storage and more specialized capability are giving riders new ways to use their machines. that creates more opportunity after the sale.

A customer might start with tires, wheels or a winch. then come lighting, protection, storage, suspension parts, cab accessories, audio and service items. Work-focused owners want durability and function. trail riders want comfort, control and protection. Everyone needs helmets and riding gear. Every machine. Every use. A different need.

that is where parts Unlimited comes in. With parts, accessories and service products for a wide range of At V and Ut V applications, parts helps dealers support customers long after the unit leaves the showroom.

As the segment grows more advanced and more specialized, dealers have more ways to build the sale, support the ride and keep customers coming back.

We’ve gathered a sampling of parts, accessories and apparel from select parts Unlimited suppliers for your At V and Ut V customers.

OFFROAD REVIVAL

This well-used 2002 Yamaha Kodiak 400 was pulled out of storage and brought to Moose Offroad showing its age, with worn parts, faded plastics and an engine that would not start.

Moose Offroad brought the Kodiak back to life using a wide range of new products straight from the catalog, including hard parts, accessories and maintenance components, along with a deep cleanup that restored function, reliability and a sharp new look.

BRINGING AN ATV BACK TO LIFE

Moose Switchback tires mounted on 387X wheels give the revived Kodiak a fresh stance and the trail-ready setup needed for work, hunting and weekend riding.

Moose Offroad refreshed the Kodiak with a new battery, brake pads, filters, fluids, spark plug and carburetor parts, giving the older ATV a solid mechanical reset.

2002 YAMAHA KODIAK ATV REBUILD

it gives the At V a fresh, modern look. Moose Qualifier and XCr brake pads were a big upgrade in the brake department.

With everything in place to make sure the Kodiak could reliably get around again, it was time to focus on making it functional. Items like a Moose Flexgrip gun rack, front storage trunk, fender bag and a rear basket with a cargo net provide the right mix of storage options. Up front, there’s now a set of Stealth grips and anti-vibration mirrors.

With everything in place, the final step was to use Moose plastic Finish Cleaner, which revived the plastic elements to give them the look of an At V fresh off the showroom floor.

the revamped Kodiak looks brand new, and its functionality is better than ever. All of that was achieved with a Moose Offroad parts list that was only 26 items long, and that included absolutely everything, right down to the funnel used to install the oil and the microfiber towels that put the final touches on the plastic bodywork.

“ the difference has been incredible,” says Kelly. “When people see the before-and-after, they often don’t believe it’s the same machine. Visually, it looks brand new. Functionally, it starts easily, idles smoothly and runs like a new At V. Just as importantly, the rebuild has greatly improved its reliability, giving us confidence that it’s ready to work and be enjoyed for years to come.”

Now, the Kodiak is on its way back to Kelly’s property, where it will continue to work hard.

“ this build was living proof that, with a relatively small investment, you can rebuild an older machine and bring it back to life with years of dependable use still ahead,” Kelly says.

“Moose offers a massive selection of affordable hard parts that make these types of rebuilds possible, giving At V/Ut V owners a cost-effective way to restore performance, reliability and confidence in their machine.” ■

On the Road

Making Off-Road Vehicles Street Legal

More At V and side-by-side owners than ever are interested in making their vehicles street legal, which doesn’t need to be a complicated process. Custom Dynamics is known for its high-quality plug-and-play solutions, and riders can easily equip their machines for street use in areas where it is legal with a few key products from its CD Off road lineup.

“CD Off road was developed as a dedicated product line within Custom Dynamics to serve the growing Ut V and side-by-side market,” explains Custom Dynamics Chief Sales Officer rob bluma. “As more riders began looking to make their machines street legal, we saw a clear need for a simplified, reliable solution.”

One of the first things to take care of when converting an At V or side-by-side to street legal status is ensuring that it has functioning turn signals. CD Off road offers plug-andplay turn signal kits for an extensive list of models.

Each kit includes DOt-compliant front turn signal strips with white running lights and amber turn signals, plus a Custom Dynamics SMArt triple play module, which

converts the rear taillights into run/brake/turn lights. the kit also comes with a turn signal flasher module and a patented low-profile switch for easy operation. All the wires are extended length, so they can be tucked out of sight, and they’re color-coded for effortless connection.

And, street-legal vehicles need a license plate, the CD Off road LED license plate frame mounts easily, and the six bright-white LEDs illuminate the plate. pre-pinned power and ground wires are easy to connect. CD Off road offers its license plate frames in both motorcycle and automotive sizes, since size requirements vary from state to state.

When it comes to making yourself heard, the CD Off road 109 db SXS Electromagnetic Dual Horn Kit makes sure everyone sits up and pays attention. A horn is often required for street-legal operation of a vehicle, and this horn has a blend of low and high tones that can’t be ignored. Everything needed for installation is included with the kit, including the mounting bracket, wire harness and a rocker switch that can be illuminated.

Custom Dynamics is a trusted brand, and both dealers and customers can expect the same quality and attention to detail from the brand’s range of At V and side-by-side products. “Every CD Off road product is built around the same principles Custom Dynamics is known for—plug-and-play installation, high-quality engineering, lifetime warranty support and strong customer service,” says bluma. ■

Strength in Every Link ATV

Chains for Demanding Rides

At Vs have come a long way from the balloontired three-wheelers of decades past. today’s machines deliver more power, tackle tougher terrain and put greater demands on every part of the drivetrain. As engine output has increased, drive chains have had to keep pace with the added torque and punishment that come with modern riding.

rK Chain offers a lineup of At V-specific chains engineered to provide strength, durability and reliable power transfer across a wide range of machines and riding conditions.

“When torque increases and terrain gets tougher, a chain isn’t just a component—it’s the critical link between power and performance,” says Farrah bauer, rK Sales and Marketing Manager. “rK Chain designs its At V chains to handle the punishment so riders can focus on the ride ahead.”

the 520EXW remains one of rK Chain’s most popular At V options. the XW-ring sealed design uses triple-layer grease protection and anti-debris technology to reduce friction and wear between internal components.

Specially treated sideplates also help resist thermal cracking that can occur when debris or motorcycle components interfere with chain movement and create repeated heating and cooling cycles.

rated for At Vs up to 750cc with a tensile strength of 7,700 ft/lbs., the lightweight 520EXW is also suitable for enduro and GNCC competition. Its performance has been proven at the highest levels, claiming two 2025 GNCC championship titles while serving as the chain of choice for team FMF K tM Factory racing and rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory racing Off-road. the 520EXW is available in Gold or Natural finishes.

the XRE Series is designed for riders who demand longdistance durability. Named for its endurance-focused design, the chain proved itself during the 2026 Dakar rally, where the bAS World K tM race team completed

the event with just one chain change per bike, and toni Mulec captured the rally 2 championship. built for At Vs, Adventure bikes, enduro machines and street applications, the XrE is equally at home on pavement, through mud, across rocks and sand or in snowy conditions. Customers looking to maximize value should consider the MAX X. With a tensile strength of 9,000 ft/lbs. and a maximum off-road engine displacement rating of 750cc, it delivers durability for At Vs, street bikes and off-road machines while offering a broad selection of finishes, including Gold, Natural, Chrome, black/Gold, black/Chrome and multiple color options.

the MAX O rounds out the lineup as an economical O-ring sealed chain for At Vs and other mid-sized machines. Its sealed design helps retain lubrication while keeping dirt, sand and debris out, and it carries an 8,500 ft/lbs. tensile strength rating for machines up to 650cc. Available in Natural or Gold finishes, it’s a dependable option for customers looking for solid performance at an economical price. ■

Tires Built for Work and Weekends Ready for Anything

For plenty of Ut V owners, the same machine that goes to work on Monday is expected to be ready for the trails by Saturday. It might spend the week hauling feed, checking fence lines or moving equipment before heading out for a weekend ride or a hunting trip. that kind of versatility calls for a tire that can handle changing demands without asking your customers to compromise.

that’s where the Kenda Klever X/t fits in.

“ the Klever X/t has become one of the most versatile tires in our Ut V lineup because it meets the needs of today’s Ut V consumer. Whether it’s being used around the farm, on the jobsite, or for weekend trail rides, consumers want a tire that can do it all,” says Chad Ellis, brand Development Manager for Kenda tire USA. “As demand for the Klever X/t continued to grow, expanding the lineup with these popular fitments was a natural next step for us.”

The Kenda Klever X/T pairs an aggressive tread with reinforced shoulder lugs and radial construction, helping UTV owners tackle farm work, rough terrain and weekend trail rides through changing conditions.

that mix of work and recreation is exactly why the Klever X/t continues to resonate with dealers and customers alike. It delivers the durability needed for demanding jobs without giving up the traction and ride quality that riders appreciate once the workday is over.

Demand for the Klever X/t has continued to grow, and Kenda responded by adding three new sizes: 30x10r15, 33x10r15 and 35x10r15. the additions give dealers more fitment options for today’s popular Ut V applications while answering requests from customers and parts Unlimited sales reps alike.

Co-developed with Kenda’s Lt engineering department, the Klever X/t is designed for improved durability, reduced road noise and better ride quality. the result is a tire that feels just as comfortable covering miles around the property as it does on a weekend trail ride.

An 8-ply, steel-belted radial construction provides the durability needed for demanding work. An aggressive tread pattern and reinforced shoulder lugs add traction while helping protect the tire in rough terrain. together, those features make the Klever X/t a practical choice for customers who expect one tire to handle a variety of jobs and riding conditions.

that versatility helps explain the Klever X/t ’s continued success. It’s dependable enough for work around the farm or ranch, aggressive enough for trail riding and comfortable enough for everyday use. For many Ut V owners, that’s exactly what they’re looking for.

by expanding the Klever X/t lineup with 30x10r15, 33x10r15 and 35x10r15 fitments, Kenda gives parts Unlimited dealers more ways to serve today’s Ut V customers. As the segment continues to grow, those additional sizes make it easier to match more riders with a tire built for both work and recreation. ■

Plows and Winches for ATVs and UTVs Winter Workhorses

KFI uses dealer and customer feedback to update its Pro-V Plow with improved impact resistance, easier adjustments and simplified actuator alignment for UTV applications today.

Temperatures may still be warm, but snow season is approaching. preseason planners are ordering now, while others will soon need quick availability. KFI products has introduced its updated pro-V plow system, a new 54-inch pro-poly At V blade and its Assault winch lineup to help keep customers equipped for winter.

the updated KFI pro-V plow system for Ut Vs is the product of six years of testing and real-world customer and dealer feedback. KFI’s revisions include improved impact resistance, a simplified setup and easier installation and adjustment compared with the previous generation.

“While snowplows are designed for pushing snow and not repeated impacts, these updates help the system better manage incidental impacts and accidental misuse while reducing potential repair costs and improving overall serviceability,” says Corey boelman, general manager and director of engineering. that benefits customers and dealers alike.

pro-V plow refinements include revised adjustment points to reduce setup variability and a redesigned bulkhead assembly that simplifies actuator alignment and final setup. pro-V plows are backed by KFI’s two-year limited warranty and feature heavy-duty steel construction.

Customers looking for a larger plow blade built for moving snow and long-term durability are covered by KFI’s propoly blades, now including a new 54-inch At V option. the blades combine a poly face with steel frame reinforcement and stand approximately 27 inches tall with the included top rubber flap. Heavy-duty materials and adjustable blade skids help support durability and setup flexibility.

KFI always says “Don’t get stuck without us,” and when something or someone needs to be pulled free, the company’s Assault winch lineup offers options for At Vs and Ut Vs. Assault At V winches are available with steel or synthetic cable and 2,500-pound or 3,500-pound ratings, giving dealers choices for a range of customer needs.

Assault Series winches for Ut Vs are equipped with synthetic cable and available in standard- and wide-width versions, both rated at 5,000 pounds. Across the lineup, the winches offer improved water resistance, a spaceefficient footprint and a multidirectional pOM roller fairlead. Each is backed by a two-year warranty. ■

Light the Way Easy-Install Lighting Upgrades

Built for the Can-Am Defender HD11, RAVEK’s complete Speakeasy kit includes signature lights, an OEMstyle turn lever, hazards, a horn and dash indicators.

When the sun drops and visibility fades on the road or trail, lighting becomes more than an upgrade. It becomes a necessity. For dealers, it’s also an opportunity to help customers improve both the function and appearance of their Ut Vs.

rAVEK’s latest lineup of plug-and-play lighting systems gives customers more ways to add visibility, convenience and a factory-style finish to popular Can-Am and polaris models.

“Every rAVEK product is built around OEM-quality integration, industry-leading innovation and ease of installation,” says Marc Wolfram, EVp, rAVEK. “We strive to deliver exceptional value to our dealer partners while giving their customers exciting, premium products that enhance every ride.”

Leading the lineup is the GEN3 Speakeasy™ turn Signal Kit for the Can-Am Defender HD11 with Signature Lights. this complete, 100 percent vehicle-specific plug-and-play system includes HD11 Signature Lights, a vehicle-specific turn lever, horn, hazards, emergency strobe, dash indicators, OEM taillight integration, and a license plate holder.

Installation is the real standout. the permanent Speakeasy wireless connection between the front control module and rear receiver eliminates up to 90 percent of the front-to-rear wire routing and teardown required by traditional turn signal kits, helping installers get customers back on the trail faster.

the OEM-style turn lever controls the turn signals, the horn, and hazards without extra switches. Auto-canceling signals offer Smart Delay settings of 10, 20 or 30 seconds, while Emergency Mode activates a 360-degree chase light pattern. Every kit is backed by rAVEK’s Unlimited Lifetime Warranty.

Customers with a compatible rAVEK system can expand it with the Can-Am Defender HD11 Signature Light Upgrade. Designed for GEN2 and GEN3 Speakeasy turn Signal Kits, this plug-and-play upgrade syncs with the existing turn signal system and OEM taillights. It’s built with a tough, durable outer shell that keeps water and dust out, while integrated running, brake, turn, reverse, hazard and emergency lighting modes add functionality without replacing the existing system.

polaris Xpedition owners aren’t left out. the GEN3 Speakeasy turn Signal Kit with OE Headlight replacement includes replacement headlights with integrated amber turn signal and hazard indicators, a vehicle-specific turn lever, horn, hazards, and OEM dash indicators. there is also OEM taillight integration and a license plate holder.

Like the Can-Am kit, it uses the Speakeasy wireless frontto-rear connection to eliminate up to 90 percent of wire routing and teardown. the replacement headlights also produce more than 300 percent greater light output than stock, delivering a brighter, fuller beam pattern.

rounding out the lineup is the Speakeasy Multi-Function taillight. Designed for GEN2 and GEN3 Speakeasy wireless turn Signal Kits, it synchronizes with the existing system and OEM taillights. running, brake, turn, reverse, hazard and emergency functions are integrated into one plugand-play package, giving customers another way to boost visibility while finishing the look of their machine. ■

From Shop to Trail Service

Solutions for Can-Am and Polaris

Keeping customers’ machines on the trail starts with having the right parts on the shelf. that’s the challenge Quad Logic set out to solve when affordable aftermarket replacement parts for polaris At Vs and Ut Vs were in short supply.

What began with a handful of replacement parts has grown into a catalog of thousands of components and accessories for polaris Sportsman, ranger and rZr models. the company has also expanded its lineup to include replacement parts and accessories for popular Can-Am Outlander, Maverick and renegade models, giving parts Unlimited dealers even more options for common repairs and upgrades.

One example is the battery relocate Kit for 2014-2020 polaris Sportsman 450 and 570 models. the heavy-duty steel bracket moves the battery from its factory location beneath the machine to a more protected position on the frame. the design also provides easier access for charging and routine maintenance while incorporating a frontmounted terminal block for electrical accessories. by reusing the factory battery shroud, cover and strap, the kit delivers a clean, straightforward installation.

Small service items can make a big difference, too. Quad Logic’s magnetic drain plugs are available for a wide range of polaris and Can-Am engines, transmissions

that growth has been driven by a simple philosophy: build replacement parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications while making installation as straightforward as possible. Quad Logic maintains a fleet of polaris and CanAm machines at its facility so new products can be tested for fit and function before they reach dealers.

“We strive to develop accessories that solve OEM design issues or offer replacement parts that outperform OEM specs,” says Quad Logic’s robb Johnson. “We do it all at a considerable value to the dealer and the consumer.”

the parts Unlimited partnership has helped put that growing lineup in front of dealerships looking for quality alternatives for everyday repairs and maintenance. From brake components, intake boots, fuel valves and custom tools to At V racks and other accessories, Quad Logic gives dealers a broad selection of products for many of the industry’s most popular off-road models.

and differentials. Each plug uses a powerful magnet to capture metal particles before they continue circulating through the drivetrain and includes a new crush washer for a secure, leak-free installation.

For customers looking to simplify maintenance, the Dzus Side panel Quick release Kit replaces factory plastic rivets on 2017-2024 polaris Sportsman 850 and 1000 models with durable quarter-turn fasteners. the hardware remains attached to the side panels, making removal quick while reducing the chance of losing fasteners during routine service or trail-side repairs.

those products represent only a small sample of the thousands of replacement parts and accessories available from Quad Logic through parts Unlimited. ■

More Than Replacement Charging Upgrades Built for Real Rides

RMSTATOR’s High-Output system adds usable charging power for accessories while keeping installation simple with a plug-and-play design for select off-road applications.

Modern powersports machines ask more of their charging systems than ever. LED lighting, GpS units, heated gear, winches, audio systems, cooling fans and USb ports can all add to the electrical load. For customers, that creates a clear need for charging components designed to do more than replace a failed stock part.

rMStAtOr has spent more than 20 years building that kind of solution.

Founded in Coaticook, Quebec, the company has grown into a North American specialist in powersports electrical systems. With operations in Canada and the United States, rMStAtOr designs, engineers and supports products for motorcycles, At Vs, Ut Vs, snowmobiles, personal watercraft and other applications.

“At rMStAtOr, we believe replacement components should do more than simply match the original, they should improve upon it,” says Jean-Michel Morency, Director of product, rMStAtOr. “Every product we develop is engineered to solve real-world problems and deliver the reliable power today’s demanding machines and riders depend on.”

Its High-Output systems are built for riders and customers who need more usable charging power without adding a complex installation.

Designed as plug-and-play upgrades, the High-Output systems are available for a number of applications that include 2019-2025 Honda CrF450L, CrF450X, CrF450rL, and many K tM and Husqvarna models. that added output can help support multiple accessories and higher electrical demand, making a useful option for off-road

machines equipped for trail riding, dual sport or long day Adventure riding in the desert and mountains.

rMStAtOr’s SpLY t Charging System takes a different approach to managing output and heat. the system uses a dual-output stator with two separate windings, splitting the power between two SErIES voltage regulators. Each regulator handles half the load of the original system, which allows it to run at a lower temperature and helps improve reliability.

the polaris charging kit includes the dual-output stator, two SErIES regulators, two automotive-grade relocation harnesses with heavy-duty connectors, a high-output flywheel, flywheel puller and gasket. the system is designed to provide more available charging power, including higher output at low rpm, while supporting accessories such as winches, snowplows, lighting, audio systems, heated gear and other work equipment.

The SPLYT system uses a dual-output stator and two SERIES regulators to manage heat, improve reliability and support demanding ATV and UTV accessories.

For customers upgrading to lithium batteries or looking for a more efficient regulator, rMStAtOr also offers MOSFEt regulators. these units are designed to provide stable charging voltage, cooler operating temperatures and compatibility with LiFepO₄ batteries. they also help support improved charging-system efficiency and reliability.

behind each product is a team of engineers who are also powersports enthusiasts who understand real-world riding conditions. rMStAtOr develops its charging systems with premium copper windings, high-temperature insulation, OE-quality connectors, plug-and-play installation and extensive quality control. technical support is available in both Canada and the United States. ■

Built for the Dirty Work Brake

Pads for Demanding Off-Road Conditions

For your customers who spend their weekends chasing dirt, mud and sand instead of pavement, EbC brakes offers the r Series At V and Dirt Sintered brake pads.

Manufactured at EbC’s U.S. sintering facility, the r Series uses a sintered copper alloy compound engineered for At V and motocross applications. Sintering bonds metallic particles under heat and pressure to create a durable friction material. the material resists contamination from mud, water, sand and grit, helping riders maintain consistent stopping power even after wet or dusty rides. that’s especially important on At Vs, where the rear rotor sits low and is exposed to standing water and mud, conditions that can contribute to premature pad wear. the pads are also designed to minimize rotor abrasion,

helping reduce wear while replacing stock pads.

“Designed for mud, water, sand and everything in between, the r Series delivers dependable braking and long-lasting performance when it matters most,” said Joshua russell of EbC brakes USA.

the r Series is available for a wide range of modern At V and motocross models, making it a practical option for dealers stocking multiple makes and models during peak off-road riding season.

For your customers who regularly ride in demanding conditions, the r Series offers a durable, direct-fit replacement that’s worth keeping on the shelf. ■

Off-Road Durability Meets Italian Design Ready for the Trail

At V riders don’t go looking for easy terrain, and their equipment needs to be ready for whatever the trail delivers. For customers looking to upgrade from a stock exhaust, LeoVince developed a new version of its LV ONE EVO that combines the brand’s signature styling with materials selected for the demands of At V riding.

the system is available for the Can-Am Outlander 1000, Can-Am renegade 1000, polaris Sportsman Xp 1000 and CF Moto CForce 1000, along with other At V applications, giving dealers a purpose-built option for a wide range of customers.

the LV ONE EVO features an AISI 304 stainless steel sleeve with LeoVince’s titanium Look treatment for a clean, technical appearance and long-term durability. A tIG-welded AISI 304 stainless steel mounting bracket is designed for precise fitment, while a full carbon end cap developed specifically for off-road applications gives the exhaust a rugged look and helps reduce weight. the matte finish is engineered to withstand weather and trail wear.

“ the LV ONE EVO for At Vs represents our commitment to combining proven engineering, premium materials, and a distinctive Italian design in a product built specifically for off-road use,” says LeoVince’s Allesandro Morone. “ the LV ONE EVO was engineered to deliver lasting performance while preserving the unmistakable sound and identity of LeoVince.” ■

Ready to Work

Reliable Power for ATVs and UTVs

Whether your customers use their At V, Ut V or side-by-side on the job, around the property or deep on the trail, they need dependable starting power. Mud, vibration and rough terrain put a battery to the test, making reliability as important as cranking power.

bS battery meets those demands with the new U1-500 and Gr26-620, two additions to its SLA MAX lineup. both factory-activated AGM batteries arrive ready to install and are built for tough conditions.

“We developed batteries specifically for the U.S. market to offer a competitively priced solution without compromising on power, performance or reliability,” says Eva Castelain, bS battery Global Marketing Manager.

the Gr26-620 delivers an impressive 620 CA(A), making it a strong choice for larger-displacement engines that require maximum cranking performance. the U1-500 provides 500 CCA with up to 31.6Ah capacity and features 8.8 mm heavyduty terminals, taller internal plates and a reinforced grid framework for increased starting power and durability.

BS Battery’s U1-500 and GR26-620 deliver strong starting power for demanding ATV and sideby-side use.

Slide Support Oils and Lubricants for Flat Track School

Riders who want to experience what it is like to be a flat track racer can do just that at Slide School USA. During the 3½-hour program, students ride royal Enfield Ft450 training bikes that are protected with LIQUI MOLY oils and additives, including the brand’s 10W-40 basic Street motor oil.

Slide School USA is led by Johnny Lewis, whose back ground as a professional motorcycle racer and current role as owner of the American Flat track royal Enfield race team made him the ideal choice to not only operate the school but also develop its curriculum.

In 2019, royal Enfield flew Lewis to India to create the cur riculum for its first-ever Slide School. that program became the blueprint for what has grown into a global network of schools with locations in the United States, India, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands and thailand.

“It’s an intro to flat track,” Lewis explains, adding that everything, right down to the motorcycles and steel shoes, is provided. “You run through the basics of learning to flat track, and it’s been pretty cool that since 2020 I’ve worked with about 1,300 people in the United States. It’s been neat to grow flat track globally.”

In 2026, Slide School USA partnered with LIQUI MOLY as the official lubricant supplier for its fleet of training motorcycles. While Lewis operates an 18-acre training facility in Center Hill, Florida, Slide School USA is frequently on the road. the school travels to races, royal Enfield dealership events and motorcycle rallies, giving riders across the country a chance to experience flat track.

that demanding schedule means the Ft450s see hours of rigorous continuous use in a single day. the bikes run

anything. the bikes have held up through the heat and the schools.”

that kind of reliability is exactly what the program depends on. LIQUI MOLY 10W-40 basic Street motor oil delivers dependable lubrication, strong engine cleanliness and consistent wear protection even under repeated clutch work, constant shifting and continuous stop-andgo riding. riders notice smooth, predictable feedback throughout every session, an important factor when the goal is to teach control and confidence.

If a training fleet ridden hard for hours at a time by beginners can run cleanly and consistently, it speaks to the durability and versatility of the lubricant under everyday riding conditions. ■

New Perspective Tires for ADV Touring in Michigan

When Jeff Stanton retired from racing, launching an ADV tour company was not part of the plan. but the six-time AMA Motocross and Supercross champion found a new way to share the riding terrain of his home state.

“ there’s so much to offer in Northern Michigan, from single-track riding to just natural beauty,” says Stanton, a Michigan native. “riding dirt bikes is a passion for a lot of people, including myself, and so I started an ADV business in northern Michigan.”

Jeff Stanton Adventures uses pirelli Scorpion rally tires on its fleet of triumph ADV motorcycles because it combines everything Stanton was looking for in a dependable tire. It can take riders off-road across gravel and other terrain, or the tire can capably navigate paved roads, all the way to the 5-star resort where tour participants stay each night.

“ the bottom line is we love a knobby-ish front because we’re in a bit of sandy loam every now and then, so I’d rather have an extreme front tire to keep that grip to the ground, so my clients feel comfortable,” says Stanton. tour participants range in skills and riding history, and Stanton says it’s a pretty even mix of people with off-road experience who followed Stanton’s racing career and the V-twin set looking for a new experience. “ that’s the 50–70-year-old man who’s ridden Harleys his whole life and wants to try this Adventure out and maybe try something different than just asphalt roads,” Stanton explains. “ they can ride gravel and have the time of their life and see things they wouldn’t see riding up and down a highway.”

It’s a lot easier to have the time of your life when you’re on tires you trust. In fact, what Stanton usually hears from clients is that they want to put a set of Scorpion rally tires on their own motorcycles. “ that in itself speaks volumes,” he says. “If people love them and are comfortable on them, then they’re going to go buy them.”

typically, each outing consists of six riders, and Stanton says dealers enjoy organizing a group to go together. Not

only does it provide a unique experience for their customers, but then, participants can go right back to the dealer to purchase a set of the Scorpion rally tires.

The Pirelli Scorpion Rally tire pairs a knobby-style front design with mixed-surface capability to help ADV riders stay comfortable and confident.

Jeff Stanton Adventures also offers two rides per year exclusively for female riders. ecause many of them are less experienced motorcyclists, Stanton says, having the right tire makes a huge difference. He adds, “ the tire selection is more important for the ladies because you want them to feel comfortable. It’s more about keeping them confident and on the bike, not on the ground.” the Scorpion rally tires help build that confidence. ■

One Kit, One Fix Complete Chain and Sprocket Solutions

Chains and sprockets carry some of the heaviest workloads on any powersports vehicle, and keeping them in good condition helps maintain reliability, safety and peak power delivery. When one piece of the final drive system wears out, it usually makes sense to replace the whole set at once. that’s the idea behind regina Chain’s kit lineup.

Available for most popular At Vs and motorcycles, regina chain kits give your customers a complete, ready-to-install replacement matched to their specific machine. Each kit pairs a heat- treated front sprocket with an induction-hardened rear sprocket and a regina Z-ring chain, pre-cut to the correct length.

the chain comes from regina’s 520 Quad Z-ring series, rated to 8,000 lb-ft of strength, with gold-finished outer

plates and Z-ring seals that lock lubricant between the plates to cut friction and extend the life of the drive components.

“Chain kits allow your customers to save time and money,” said Federico Gualdi, Sales Director Motorcycle Division, regina. “ they don’t have to cut the chain at the right length, they can avoid mistakes in the selection of the correct sprocket and/or chain application, and it’s also easy to stock and recognize thanks to the description.”

Every regina chain is made in Italy, and the sprockets in each kit are cut from high-quality steel with OEM-spec gearing. Kits ship Chains are delivered with both a quad rivet-type and a hollow-type connecting link. ■

Forged for the Next Race

Updated Piston Tech for Four-Strokes

Modern four-stroke engines keep evolving, and riders continue to demand more from them. Wiseco developed its racer Elite pro forged pistons as the next generation of the racer Elite line, combining updated forging, coatings and application-specific design in an off-the-shelf package.

“Our racer Elite pistons brought innovative piston design to powersports when we launched them, but performance demands are always evolving, so racer Elite pro pistons are the next generation of that,” says Chris bollinger, general manager for Wiseco powersports. “One of our best advantages is having r&D resources in-house, which is how we developed the new forging design racer Elite pro pistons are using to deliver strength needed for modern four-strokes.”

Each piston uses a boxed and strutted forging design tailored to its application and proven through Wiseco’s in-house dyno testing. Armorplating surface treatment on the crown, ring grooves and pin bore helps improve heat and wear resistance, while the in-house ArmorGlide skirt coating reduces friction, noise and wear.

Lateral gas ports and a lapped compression ring work together to support a consistent ring seal. Application-specific, highcompression dome machining is designed to improve torque, while each part number includes premium rings, a DLC-coated wrist pin and wire locks. ■

Built for the Long Haul Confidence on Every Trail

No two Ut V rides are exactly alike. A day on the trail might start with smooth gravel roads, wind through wooded terrain, climb over rocky sections and finish on hardpacked dirt.

For dealers, that means recommending a tire that’s ready for changing conditions without asking riders to sacrifice comfort, durability or predictable handling.

that’s the thinking behind the AMS All terrain. Designed for riders who spend more time exploring trail systems than slogging through deep mud, the All terrain focuses on balanced performance across a wide range of terrain. It’s built to roll smoothly on hard surfaces while delivering the traction and toughness riders expect when the trail gets rough.

“ the AMS All-terrain features a tighter tread spacing with grooves and sipes that assist with a smoother ride and a long-lasting tire for all conditions,” says Dylan titus, AMS brand Manager. “Just because it’s an ‘Allterrain’ tire that doesn’t mean this tire lacks any category of riding styles. the All-terrain has proven its toughness in the Ultra 4 racing series of the 2026 riding season.”

Creating that balance took more than simply adding aggressive tread. Quiet operation, light steering, dependable traction and long wear were all priorities during development. Since widely spaced tread blocks often create additional road noise, AMS tightened the tread pattern, especially through the center of the tire. that allows the All terrain to roll more smoothly and quietly while still maintaining confident traction off-road.

the tire also uses a dual-compound design to match different parts of the tire to different jobs. A softer rubber compound in the tread helps maximize grip on changing surfaces, while a stronger compound in the shoulders increases resistance to tearing and punctures when the trail turns rocky.

protection extends beyond the tread itself. A deep rim guard and extended shoulder design help defend the wheel and sidewall from impacts, while the 8-ply radial construction provides the strength needed for demand-

ing trail use. that radial casing also improves steering response and helps maintain traction over uneven terrain, giving riders a more controlled feel behind the wheel. the All terrain is especially well suited for the kinds of rides many Ut V owners enjoy today. Open desert, exposed slickrock, gravel fire roads and expanding trail systems throughout states such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa all call for a tire that wears well, handles confidently and doesn’t become noisy during long miles on hard-packed surfaces.

rather than specializing in one extreme riding condition, the All terrain is engineered to perform across the places that riders spend the most time. ■

MX-27 SPORTMODE DAMASCUS

CREATE & DISRUPT

UNLEARN THE NORM.

Evolution in Motion

New Looks. Same Race-Ready DNA.

Great riders aren’t born polished, and neither are great ideas. When tHOr introduced Sportmode as its flagship racewear collection in 2024, it marked the beginning of the brand’s next chapter in motocross gear.

three years later, the MX27 Sportmode lineup builds on that foundation with fresh graphics while retaining the technical platform riders have trusted through multiple race seasons.

“ the tHOr team really brought the leading-edge for our 2027 Sportmode collection. the new designs make a statement and point back to some of the core characteristics of motocross,” says Josh Shorter, Global brand Director. “ there’s a design to connect with every rider, including the strength-inspired Damascus, rebellious punk’d, distressed-yet-refined Vanish and the modern-era racing inspired Women’s Merge.”

there are two things that catch a moto fan’s attention right away: the bike and the gear. At first glance, the 2027 Sportmode collection stands out while retaining the refined, premium look for which it’s known. Each design also carries a deeper theme, drawing on the traits that define motocross riders while paying homage to the sport’s roots and its evolution over the decades.

Damascus takes its inspiration from the layered patterns found in Damascus steel blades. the design represents the idea that strength comes through repetition, much like the countless laps riders put in at the practice track. the kits are available in aqua/orange/ yellow/blue, white/blue/wine and gray/pink/ purple colorways, with graphics that follow the body’s natural contours to emphasize movement on the bike.

Customers who have been around motocross long enough know the sport helped shape many of its legends during its rebellious era. breaking the status quo, challenging convention and pushing limits on and off the track created some of the moto stories riders still talk about today. Sportmode punk’d taps into that attitude with bright colors, bold contrast and aggressive patterns inspired by punk rock album art from the 1970s and ‘80s.

Customers looking to stand out can choose Sportmode punk’d in black/fuchsia or charcoal/green. the design is also available in youth sizes, giving younger riders the same bold look.

Whatever approach they take to the sport, longtime riders understand motocross is a battle. physically and mentally, it demands perseverance. Sportmode Vanish reflects that idea by blending distressed graphics with clean racewear styling. Customers can

choose from black/purple, black/red, gray/deep blue/acid or white/black/bronze colorways.

Sportmode Merge brings the themes of the 2027 lineup together for female riders. Strength, rebellion, experience and refinement reflect the evolution of motocross and the people who ride. With charcoal/black and navy/fuchsia color options, Women’s Sportmode Merge delivers a modern racing-inspired look built on the same Sportmode foundation.

While each graphic has its own personality, every kit shares the same Sportmode racewear technology underneath. Jerseys and pants feature a minimalist construction with fewer panels and seams to create an athletic fit with increased stretch and body contouring. the result is unrestricted mobility that allows riders to move naturally on the bike while maintaining comfort.

Advanced materials are strategically placed throughout the collection to support performance. Details such as silicone along the inner waist help keep jerseys tucked in, while the zipperless waist

opening reduces weight and improves comfort. they’re the kinds of refinements customers appreciate every time they gear up. ■

An Electrifying Build Tires

to Transform a Commuter Bike

When we caught up with builder robert Sabel a year ago, he had just taken a bMW resto-mod to the bike Shed Moto Show in London. At the moment, things look a little different at the roughchild shop, but one thing has remained the same: Sabel still trusts Avon tyres to give his builds the right look and performance.

the roughchild brand is best known for transforming vintage bMWs, so it might be a bit of a surprise to know Sabel’s most recent build was an electric Maeving rM1S. Sabel is the first to admit it was a bit of a surprise to him, too. When film producer Michael barrett called and pitched the project to him, Sabel was reluctant.

“I rejected it three or four times, and then he phoned me and told me his story,” Sabel says. “He lost his motorcycle collection in the palisades fires, lost his house, and he said he and his wife [actress Anna Faris] enjoy riding these electric bikes in Washington, and it brought him joy, but he realized it could be better.”

Sabel has had close calls with California wildfires, as well, and barrett’s story finally won him over. barrett delivered the Maeving to the roughchild shop, and the first thing Sabel did was tear it down so he could build it back up to look like a more aggressive motorcycle.

the rM1S arrived with skinny 19-inch wheels on the front and rear, and the tires were a type that just couldn’t deliver on performance. So, Sabel mounted 18-inch wheels and a set of Avon roadrider MKII tires to give the motorcycle not just a bigger, fiercer look, but also to deliver a more performance-minded ride.

“Avon roadrider MKIIs enhance this motorcycle tenfold,” Sabel says. “by adding the roadrider MKIIs, you’re adding to the rider comfort, and you have so much more contact patch with the ground.”

the rM1S has a range of 80 miles, and the batteries are removable to make charging easy for those who don’t have a garage. that makes it a good around-town motorcycle. At the same time, Sabel went into the build

with strong feelings about electric motorcycles. He says his mindset was straightforward: “I do not believe in the electric revolution.”

but, with a set of Avon roadrider MKII tires, Öhlins suspension, brembo brakes, and other mods, he started to look at things a little differently. “I’m a motorcycle enthusiast, but I’m also a fun enthusiast, and I thought it was fun,” Sabel says, adding that Maeving is offering $500 off the purchase of a bike with code Roughchild. “I got a bit nit-picky and I tore the bike apart and removed its shortcomings from their budget restraints. the end product is a fabulous machine.” ■

Designed to deliver nothing less than extreme grip, Avon 3D Supersports give you the best possible road contact – which means the best possible handling, the best possible stability and the best possible feedback from the road. Built to last, they’ll give you the freedom to test your limits – and go beyond.

A Hypersport Helmet’s Legacy Precision Evolution

Designing a street helmet is a balancing act. Shape, weight, comfort features, safety and even style are just some of the details that have to be worked out. rather than starting with a blank drawing board for the ICON Ultraflite helmet, the popular Airflite helmet served as a starting point.

the same: create gear that riders are proud to wear because it looks incredible and protects them when it matters most.”

With the Ultraflite, that begins with the shell. the Ultraflite is available in a Carbon or handcrafted Frp shell, and both choices offer weight savings while still maintaining strength. the profile of the helmet is one of those details that has been refined compared to the Airflite, and its aerodynamics improve stability and reduce wind noise.

the Airflite’s hypersport styling and functionality has made it a popular helmet since its debut. that legacy has now evolved into the Ultraflite, which balances premium performance with the aggressive street style that ICON is known for.

ICON Design Manager John Whitaker describes the process of developing the Ultraflite helmet as precision evolution. For him, it wasn’t about changing the things that make the Airflite successful in the first place. Instead, it was a chance to improve details.

“It builds on everything riders loved about the Airflite while delivering a more aggressive, more aerodynamic platform with enhanced ventilation and next-generation safety features,” Whitaker says. “Our goal has always been

Up front, the shield was also redesigned to give the rider a wider view of the road ahead. the quick-change UltraShield is paired with an internal DropShield that makes it easy to block the sun’s glare while on the go.

Airflow through the helmet has also evolved. the twin-channel venting makes sure a high volume of air can be pulled through the oversized intake vents. At the same time, a removable breath deflector and chin curtain allow fine-tuning of how much air gets in.

“At ICON, evolution is never about change for the sake of change,” Whitaker notes. “Every new helmet starts with the rider and the realities of the street. We take what works, refine what can be better, and embrace new materials, protection technologies and manufacturing methods when they genuinely improve the riding experience.”

the Ultraflite is also designed with emergency-release cheek pads, and all Ultraflite models come standard with the MIpS brain protection System. Designed to guard against an angled impact, MIpS bpS is a lowfriction layer in the liner that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head to help reduce rotational forces that can cause injuries.

And, for riders who want to stay in touch during the ride, the Ultraflite comes ready to accept ICON’s Helmlink bluetooth system. ■

Top-End Timing

Complete Kits Simplify Seasonal Sled Service

SFrom preseason maintenance to unexpected repairs, ProX rebuild kits help dealers keep customers’ snowmobiles ready for more winter miles ahead.

now season moves fast. When riders need a preseason refresh, midseason repair or post-season rebuild, dealers need the right parts without turning each job into a hunt for individual components.

proX Snowmobile top-End rebuild Kits bring the core pieces for a complete top-end job together under one part number. Each kit includes pistons, rings, pins, locks, small-end bearings and a complete gasket kit. Some applications also include gaskets in varying thicknesses.

that makes ordering easier for the parts counter, streamlines work through the service department and gives DIY customers a clear path to completing the job in their own garage.

“refreshing a sled’s top end is proper maintenance heading into snow season. Keeping our top-End rebuild Kits on hand helps dealers set customers up quickly and easily for a short and exciting snow season, whether it’s going through the service department or a DIY job in the garage.” says Matt Delfs, product manager for proX.

At the heart of each kit are pistons cast from proX’s proprietary hypereutectic alloy. the design is intended to control thermal expansion, add strength in critical areas and maintain skirt stability with optimized piston-to-wall clearance.

Hard-anodized crowns and ring grooves help protect against damaging heat, ring micro welding and early wear. An MOS2 skirt coating supports break-in while helping resist piston and cylinder wear.

From planned maintenance to an unexpected repair, the kits give dealers a convenient way to help customers get their sleds ready for the miles ahead. ■

Built for Long Miles

Field-Tested Airflow for BMW RT Riders

Your bMW customers look for the gear that works, not the gear that’s trendy. Many are likely wellversed in all things motorcycle and are always searching for products that enhance the many miles they put on their bikes.

that is why Flare® Windshields have become a popular upgrade in the bMW touring segment and why the story behind them matters as much as the windshield itself.

the Flare was first developed for Harley-Davidson models, where it built a strong following before expanding to bMW applications. When Klock Werks brought the design to the bMW rt line, touring riders quickly took notice.

Klock Werks combines style and function with its Flare Windshields for bMW rt models. the windshields were tested in the field under real-world riding conditions. Klock Werks partnered with Mark brown and his MotoMark1 motorcycle training school in North Carolina in product development.

MotoMark1 has more than 20 years of professional instruction, with a client list that includes the Kyle petty Charity ride Across America, the New York Special Operations Unit, and pope Air Force base. that means standards are high and feedback is direct.

MotoMark1’s instructors mounted prototype after prototype on their 2016 bMW police bikes and ran them through dense city traffic, windy backroads, long interstate stretches and police-style course drills – realworld conditions, not a closed course. Klock Werks logged every point of feedback and adjusted curve, dimension and mounting point throughout development.

BMW RT riders can add a Klock Werks Flare Windshield, where the flared top helps direct air up and over the rider for reduced buffeting and a steadier ride.

“If you’re looking for a minimalist windscreen with the best protection, look no further,” says Mark brown of MotoMark1. “I had the opportunity to try this in low-speed city, country backroads and interstate highway speeds. Excellent air bubble of protection in all situations. this Klock Werks windscreen looks great and is so functional. brian and his team have done their homework, and it shows.” today, MotoMark1 runs Flare Windshields across its entire training fleet of bMWs and Harleys alike.

Why does this matter for the miles your customers ride? the engineering behind Flare creates a clean, stable pocket of air behind the windshield and adds light downforce that steadies the ride. For a rider logging 10,000-plus miles a year, that means less wind noise, less buffeting, and none of the helmet “bobble head” effect that wears a rider down long before the tank runs dry. ■

» Flare Windshields are available for a range of BMW RT models. Talk to your Parts rep for more details or find the applications in the Street catalog and at www.parts-unlimited.com.

A Klock Werks Flare Windshield sits on a MotoMark1 BMW, where real-world testing helped shape its airflow, fit and touring-focused performance.

Twenty years ago, a ride home after racing in Bonneville sparked an idea that changed motorcycling forever.

Born on the Salt Flats, the Flare® Windshield delivers proven air management with patented “hips” that create downforce and a signature “flip” that pushes air up and over both rider and passenger.

Today, the Flare® is available for 30+ models, in 16 different kolors,and

Tailored Touring Tire

Choices for Different Riding Styles

When a motorcycle, tire or even a rider’s preferred style is described as “ touring,” that’s only telling part of the story. From longdistance touring with a full load of luggage to sportier riding that emphasizes performance as well as miles, there are some key differences in how riders approach this segment of powersports.

Luckily, when it comes to tires, there are different approaches to take, as well, thanks to the Mitas tOUrING FOrCE and tOUrING FOrCE-Sp tires.

the tOUrING FOrCE tires are a straightforward Grand touring tire. these are the ones you expect for those high-mileage journeys, heavy bikes and lots of gear. For riders who prefer a bit more of an adventurous touring experience, the tOUrING FOrCE-Sp tires are designed for Sport-touring enthusiasts.

“At Mitas, we recognize that ‘touring’ isn’t a one-size-fits-all category anymore,” says robert Walker, National Sales Manager North America at Mitas Motorcycle tires. “ today’s riders expect tires that match their individual riding style – whether that leans toward long-distance comfort and stability or a more dynamic, sport-oriented experience. that’s why offering both the tOUrING FOrCE and the tOUrING FOrCE-Sp is so important.

Whether your customers travel light or fully loaded, Mitas’ TOURING FORCE tires deliver the stable handling and durability needed for long days in the saddle.

compound formula in the rear of the tOUrING FOrCE tire focuses on durability, the dual-compound tOUrING FOrCE-Sp is engineered for a good balance between grip and mileage.

the tOUrING FOrCE tire is ideal for riders who prioritize mileage and adaptability in all conditions. the stable, predictable handling is coupled with a comfortable feel for all-day riding. the tires, which include a dual-compound rear, are ideally suited to heavier bikes, higher loads and two-up riding.

Meanwhile, the tOUrING-FOrCE Sp Sport-touring tires deliver sharper handling and responsiveness for riders who prefer a more aggressive riding style. the tire’s softer construction gives it more agile handling, similar to the Mitas SpOrt FOrCE+ EV tire.

Mileage was still a consideration for the tOUrING-FOrCE Sp tires, of course, and their durability is higher than a typical sport tire to suit touring use. While the dual-

When helping a touring customer choose between the two tires, it’s all about getting insight into how they ride. relaxed versus more aggressive, highways versus twisty backroads, and even what the luggage setup typically looks like, are all important pieces of information to help guide a customer.

“ these insights help clarify whether the rider would benefit more from the durability and versatility of the tOUrING FOrCE or the enhanced grip and agility of the tOUrING FOrCE-Sp,” says Walker. “It’s about matching the tire characteristics to the rider’s real-world use.” ■

It’s a Family Affair

A+ POWER SPORTS: ELKHORN, WISCONSIN

A+ power Sports in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, began with one man’s passion for powersports and grew into a family-run dealership.

In 2001, Kevin Nichols was building custom pickup trucks and spending much of his free time around powersports. A lifelong enthusiast, he had raced motocross, drag raced snowmobiles and ridden just about anything he could get his hands on.

“I started out at a young age having an attraction for powersports - mini bikes, motorcycles, snowmobiles and quads,” Kevin says. “I had a minibike pretty much at the time I started walking, and later I also got into motocross racing and drag racing snowmobiles. So, I have always had an infatuation for powersports. I don’t know why - it’s like it was born into me.”

then a routine visit to his local polaris dealership changed his career path.

“I’d buy snowmobiles and parts from this particular dealership for many years, until one day in 2001 I went in there and was presented with an offer to buy their business,” he explains. “I became A+ power Sports in 2002. I would have done it a decade earlier if I had had the opportunity, but I was into building custom pick-up trucks and had been doing that for a long time. When that opportunity came along to actually own a dealership, I jumped on it.”

What began as Kevin’s chance to turn a lifelong passion into a business has grown into a true family operation. His wife, barb, and three of their four children now workalongside him, each bringing their own experience to A+ power Sports, a longtime parts Unlimited dealer.

“We’re a family business. And when I say family, I’m here, my wife barb is here, three of my children work here, and all of us participate in these sports – they love it as much as I do,” Kevin says. “We’re really known for not only selling the product, but riding the product. people will come in to ask us about product just because we do so much riding. they can get an opinion from a 60-year-old man, they can get an opinion from a 20-something-year-old young man, or they can get an opinion from a 20-something-year-old young lady. they can really get a feel of the product just by coming to talk with us because we’ve probably ridden it.”

A BLESSING

Like many children raised around a family dealership, Kole Nichols, tristyn boss and Logan Nichols started with basic jobs before finding their roles in the business.

“We grew up as shop kids, and did start out by cutting up boxes and sweeping the floors. Honestly, I feel like as early as we could walk our parents would involve us in everything,” explains tristyn. “In high school, all three of us – my

What began as one enthusiast’s chance to own a dealership has grown into A+ Power Sports in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, a longtime Parts Unlimited dealer operated by Kevin Nichols and his family.

brothers and I – did a school-towork program where you could leave school early to get credit for work. that ultimately allowed us to find our own interests within the dealership.”

After high school, each sibling found a niche. tristyn took over marketing, events and apparel, Kole moved from service into sales and Logan advanced from the shop to lead the service department.

“We started out in the dealership doing whatever our parents told us to do, and now we each have our own department that we operate.”

For Kevin, the real payoff is watching his children grow from shop kids into leaders with a clear hand in the dealership’s future.

“You know, it is a blessing,” Kevin says. “And, sometimes, I have to blink twice just to believe my kids are really taking the business over and doing this well at it. they do phenomenally.”

THE FACILITY

A+ power Sports carries Can-Am, polaris, Diamond C trailers, Legend premium trailers and trails West trailers. the dealership added Can-Am in July 2025. “Having both CanAm and polaris really works well for us here,” Kevin says.

the business operates from multiple buildings on the property, totaling about 22,000 square feet. the dealership is also reworking its service areas to give technicians more focused workspaces.

“right now, we’re working on transforming one building to be strictly for setting up new machines and adding accessories,” Kevin says. “It’s going to be a four-bay shop where technicians just set up the machines straight out of the crate and accessorize. then I have a five-bay shop that will be strictly mechanics just servicing the product.”

When it comes to the dealership itself, the Nichols’ family identity comes through as soon as customers walk through the door.

“When my parents built the dealership, they wanted it to feel like you’re at an up north cabin,” tristyn says. “When you walk in, you’ll immediately notice

all of the knotty pine, a bunch of white-tail deer mounts on the wall, a lot of family photos on the walls documenting our powersports adventures, and you’ll get greeted by our three Labrador shop dogs.”

the main building has two large wings, with the Can-Am showroom on the right, the polaris showroom on the left and parts and service along the back wall of the central showroom. Accessories and apparel wrap around the space.

Back, from left:: Craig Holte, Richard Kresen, Colin Hays, Breyden Middleton, Ryan Redel, and Dan Vinge.

“My dad is also very into his vintage sleds, so we have a loft that displays vintage snowmobiles all of the way back to 1964,” tristyn adds.

THE BUSINESS

A+ power Sports typically displays about 30 polaris and Can-Am vehicles inside, along with as many as 50 cabbed units outside.

“We are in a pretty big agricultural area here, so we have a lot of rangers and Defenders,” Kole explains. “ then, in northern Wisconsin, people use rZrs and Generals and X3s and Commanders to trail ride. So, we offer a nice mix of units.

“Elkhorn is a small traditional hometown that’s mostly agricultural. but it’s a good location, because we’re only an hour from Milwaukee, Madison and rockford, and only an hour and a half from Chicago.”

the service team handles 80 to 90 customer vehicles each month. Most customers are local, but A+ also draws riders from nearby metro areas.

“Most of our customers are local, but we do get a fair share of folks coming from those nearby metropolitan areas,” Kole says. to this tristyn adds, “We have people coming from over an hour away, so we’ve for sure created a destination dealership.”

Kole says Ut Vs account for about 54% of their sales, trailers make up 17%, At Vs account for 16% and sleds cover the remaining 13%.

“ the hot models right now are units that have heating and air-conditioning, so we sell a lot of the ranger Northstar 1000,” he says. “In fact, we’ll typically have about 40 of those in stock at any given time. Our second best-seller is the Defender Limited.”

the dealership sells one vehicle for every 2.23 vehicles serviced. “Which makes me think that I need to get more technicians to service vehicles,” Kole says with a laugh.

A+ power Sports employs 18 people, including eight service technicians, a parts specialist, two finance employees, a sales manager, five people in executive roles and a part-time student learning the finer points of detailing.

the dealership also works closely with the local high school through a schoolto-work program. It typically takes on two students each year and trains them in oil changes, detailing and customerfacing work.

“ they usually send us two kids per year,” Kole explains, “who we then teach how to do oil changes, detailing and customer-facing positions.”

REPUTATION AND REACH

A+ power Sports has earned a 4.7 rating on Google. tristyn credits that score in part to the dealership’s family approach.

“For one, we really do treat our customers like family,” tristyn says. “When they walk through the door, they are getting a premium top-notch experience. they’re not just a number. I definitely think that that experience allows us to get those really good reviews.”

the dealership uses traditional advertising, social media and word-of-mouth to reach customers, with much of its growth coming through referrals and a strong social

media following that has expanded since about 2017.

“rather than just post things like ‘the hot deal of the day,’ we try to show people the lifestyle of riding and create a community online,” tristyn says. “ that has resulted in a very loyal following.”

Youtube is another key part of that effort. the dealership’s channel began about a decade ago after a local videographer produced an “about us” story. that project led to walk-around videos of machines in stock, and the channel has since grown to roughly 6,000 subscribers.

“We just started a new trail series vlog on the channel where we vlog all of our family trips to give viewers an insight into the adventure inherent to powersports,” tristyn says. “And that’s proven popular, as well.”

that online reach extends well beyond the dealership’s main service area. the store regularly gets callers from out of state saying they watch their videos. those viewers will even make the drive to the store just to buy something.

Kole saw that reach firsthand during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“During COVID, when nobody could find machines, we had an 850 Scrambler that I had done a walk-around video for. Well, two days later a guy calls me from New York, says he saw it on our Youtube video and wanted to know whether we still had it in stock,” he says. “Once I confirmed we did, he says ‘OK, I’ll see you in the morning.’ Sure enough, he showed up at 9 a.m. the next morning and loaded it up.”

A+ power Sports also hosts several community events each year.

“We host an open house in the spring, which is our Off-road Fest event, and then in the fall we host our Sledtoberfest snowmobile event. We also are really involved in our local community here in Elkhorn because we are all very tight-knit,” tristyn says. “We help out at our local county fair, sponsor golf outings for charity, and are very involved in the Wide Open Wisconsin powersports Show.”

PARTS AS A PARTNER

parts Unlimited has supplied A+ power Sports for more than 20 years. Kole says fast delivery from the Janesville warehouse helps the dealership return customers’ vehicles to service sooner.

“We’ve been with parts Unlimited for more than 20 years,” Kole says. “I find them so helpful because the OEMs typi-

cally take two to three days to ship me parts. With parts Unlimited, most of everything I order will come out of the Janesville warehouse and I’ll have it the next day. Getting people going is a big thing on the service side, so I’m always appreciative that I can hit the order button and see the product the next day.”

parts Unlimited sales representative Mike Kingstad supports the dealership.

“Mike is very helpful - probably one of the most helpful reps that I have,” Kole says. “I can text him and he’ll respond really quickly. He’s from a dealership originally, so he understands the dynamic of it and how things move and operate.

“When he comes in to show me displays or do the next parts orders, he actually strategically breaks it down with us, so we have the right parts in stock and I’m not overloaded drowning in things that aren’t selling. plus, he’s just a really good guy to hang around with.”

From Kingstad’s perspective, the family dynamic does more than shape the dealership’s story. It influences how the team works, serves customers and approaches the business.

“Working with the A+ family is amazing. they are openminded to trying new things and are always looking to blaze their own trail,” Kingstad says. “ they go above and beyond for all their customers, and no problem is too small.

“Kevin and barb have done an incredible job with the business and an even better job raising some truly genuine and smart kids! Logan is a wizard in the service department. Kole is a genius behind the desk. tristyn is the creative mastermind behind the lens making sure they put their best foot forward. Every visit is far too long, and we have way too much fun for it to be considered work. this is more than just a dealership - it’s a family.”

The service team at A+ Power Sports supports the dealership’s growing vehicle lineup with dedicated space for machine setup, accessory installation and mechanical work.

Always Ready A Dual-Season Touring Jacket

Touring riders need to be ready for a versatile mix of weather conditions, which means their jacket needs to be just as versatile. the Alpinestars Andes Air Drystar Jacket delivers that with a blend of features that offer true dual-season touring performance.

the Andes Air Drystar Jacket really is a best-of-both-worlds design. It was engineered for warm-weather riding, but its adaptable features make it an all-weather option. Ventilation, protection and waterproof features can all be fine-tuned or swapped out to give a touring rider the right jacket in every moment.

“built for the heat, but ready for the unexpected, the Andes Air Drystar Jacket delivers exceptional airflow through extensive mesh construction, with a versatile Drystar liner that can be worn underneath as a windbreaker or over the jacket for full waterproof protection,” explains Alpinestars Sales Communications Manager brent Jaswinski.

there are 2D mesh panels on the chest, inner arms and back to keep air flowing, which is a must on those warmer riding days.

Since the Drystar liner can pull double duty as an overjacket, staying dry when the weather turns wet is easy. And, since the material is both waterproof and breathable, riders don’t ever have to make a choice between staying dry and staying cool.

As one would expect with a piece of Alpinestars gear, the Andes Air Drystar Jacket is packed with protective features and carries CE certification. the jacket comes with Nucleon Flex plus Level 1 armor in the shoulders and elbows, and the ripstop reinforcements in key impact zones increase abrasion resistance.

For riders who want even more of a barrier between themselves and the asphalt, the jacket is compatible with two of the personal airbags available from Alpinestars, including the tech-Air 5 plasma and tech-Air 3.

touring riders don’t just face changing conditions when they’re riding. they also often spend long days on the bike, which means comfort is key. the design of the Andes Air Drystar Jacket takes that into consideration. the

fit includes pre-shaped sleeves for all-day riding comfort and a reduced jacket length that enhances mobility on the bike. the bottom edge of the jacket is contoured, too, but it’s not just for looks: the ergonomic design improves comfort in the riding position. ■

Designed for long days on the road, Alpinestars’ Andes Air Drystar Jacket balances airflow, weather protection and riding comfort in one package.

Race-Ready Strength

Forged Pistons for Modern 450s

Modern 450 dirtbikes push engine components to their limits, especially when the throttle stays pinned on race day. JE pistons’ pro Series answers the call with a forged piston lineup built specifically for the rigors of off-road powersports.

“Our pro Series pistons are developed both for strength and performance, and our dedicated forgings and designs have been proven at the highest level, including with Ken roczen’s Supercross championship.” says billy ramsey, powersports technical Sales for JE.

Each pro Series piston is tailored to its specific application, shaped by input from JE’s professional engine-building and racing partners. rather than relying on a one-sizefits-all solution, the focus is on creating an efficient design that meets the unique demands of each engine.

Every piston features JE’s FSr, or forged side relief, design. the boxed and strutted forgings reinforce the piston where it matters most, while trimming excess material where it doesn’t. the result is a thoughtful balance of low weight, strength and performance for modern 4-stroke machines.

JE handles the entire process in-house in the USA, from engineering to forging to machining. Each piston comes as a complete kit with rings, wrist pin and clips, giving dealers everything needed for installation.

Fitments include late-model 450 dirtbikes, including the Kawasaki KX450 and KX450X and the K tM 450 SX-F, XC-F and EXC-F. Compression options vary by application. ■

Race-Bred Control

Clutch Performance Built for Dirt

Dirtbike and At V riders ask a lot from a clutch. Hard launches, deep ruts and long motos all put heat and load into the system, making smooth feel and steady power transfer key to keeping a machine working the way it should.

born from the needs of professional race teams like Star racing Yamaha, rekluse developed the ApEX clutch system to meet those demands. built in the USA, ApEX pairs race-driven design with a full clutch package aimed at durability, control and consistent performance.

“Our design for ApEX came out of a necessity to provide high-level race teams with the most durable, best performing product that we could deliver,” says Andrew Walker, r&D Engineer at rekluse. “So, with that, ApEX was born.”

At the center of the system is rekluse’s patented Fixedpin hub, which uses steel-on-steel contact with the drive

plates. that design helps limit notching and the functional concerns that can come with wear.

the torqDrive clutch pack fits more friction disks into the same space, helping transfer more power to the rear wheel. billet aluminum core components, including the pressure plate and Fixed-pin inner hub, reduce clutch operating temperatures with improved oil flow for longevity and consistent performance.

riders can tune the system with interchangeable spring combinations to match engine output and preferred engagement. the kit includes the Fixed-pin hub, billet pressure plate, torqDrive clutch pack, basket sleeves, two spring sets (for applicable models) and a billet clutch cover. DDS versions include the inner hub and dampers. ■

Complete Piston Kits for Popular Models

t Vs and Ut Vs often see some of the toughest use on the trail or the jobsite, making piston wear a common reason they end up in the service department. Wössner offers forged piston kits for many of today’s popular At V and Ut V models.

the lineup includes 10 Ut V piston kits for models such as the Can-Am Maverick 1000 turbo, Honda talon 1000r and 1000X, polaris rZr and ranger, and Yamaha YXZ1000r. Wössner also offers kits for popular At V models, including the Honda trX400EX and Yamaha YFZ450r. Each kit includes everything need: piston, rings, wrist pin and wrist pin retaining clips.

Wossner’s quality can be trusted for perfect fit and reliability.”

Wössner pistons are forged from aluminum rather than cast, providing greater strength, lower weight and improved heat resistance. A proprietary skirt coating helps reduce friction, while Japanese-manufactured piston rings provide reliable sealing.

two of the most popular kits fit a broad range of Honda talon and polaris rZr and ranger models. the Honda talon kit covers 2019-2025 talon 1000r and 1000X models, while the polaris kit fits 2013-2025 ranger Xp, rZr Xp, General and ACE 900 and 1000 models.

“Expert engine builders, race teams and dealers appreciate the consistent quality of Wössner’s forged pistons,” says bob Difranco, Wössner Sales and Customer Development. “Whether you are rebuilding a newer or older engine,

With At V and Ut V riding season in full swing, it’s a good time for dealers to have both kits on hand. ■
