When we first received our new Fox Forma Pro boots, we assumed they were the same as the 2004 boot but with a new look. Then the boot broke in more easily and was more comfortable than our previous pair.

At first glance, it seems as if ACN Machining & Welding would have a tough time selling its hand-guard clamps. Why pay $39.95 to $43.95 (depending on whether you get normal or extended ones, dual-sport or colors) for a hand-guard

When I first tried the Y-handle, I wasn’t impressed. It felt odd in my hands after so many years of using T-handles, but I plopped it in the drawer with my sockets anyway. Then I had to change a handlebar

I love vented gear. Yeah, I know; I live in California. But many dirt riders live in warm climates. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Fox’s Vented Strafer Racepant ($139.95) and Strafer Aero Jersey ($39.95). They began a

The new generation of suspension that comes on the 2005 YZ250 is the best we have ever seen from Kayaba. However, the more time I put on the stock suspension of our ’05 YZ250, the softer it became, and I

GalferSintered And Metallic Brake PadsWhen the stock brake pads recently bit the dust on our WR450, we didn’t have to look any further for good replacements than Galfer’s new off-road pads. Available in two different compounds for nearly every application,

For years, Shoei has set the high standard for the entire helmet market in style, safety and design. With each new helmet produced, the Japanese company has forced competing manufacturers to improve their lids in order to keep up, which

Hellion DesignsCustom Helmet Paint JobWhen a rider springs for a paint job on a helmet, it is often a crapshoot as to what he will get. When Hellion Designs offered to show us its stuff, we were genuinely curious as

The evolution of tools is amazing. I went from wrenches to sockets to T-handles, and now I’m using cordless impact drivers! Makita recently released its top-of-the-line LXT 18-volt series, and I’m officially hooked on (and spoiled by) these things. I
