The Suzuki KingQuad has been around for a long time. Growing from a minuscule 250cc four-stroke in a meagerly suspended chassis with a very cantankerous shifting system into the 750cc monster it is today. All of its original features made it a capable little quad that could outwork seemingly stronger and larger units with efficiency and a usable and durable package. Smart on Suzuki's part to make the selling features actually work as opposed to just seeming like a good idea at the time of purchase.inline_mediumwraptextright31161354/quads/0911_atvp_suzuki_kingquad_7500911_atvp_01_z+Suzuki_KingQuad_750AXi+lead_shot.jpgTrue

(November 16th, 2009 Valencia, CA) - Renthal has officially opened up their Amateur Rider Support program for 2010. 2010 will see Renthal's 22nd year of their amateur support program in the USA which has seen so many of the sport's elite stars come up through it. Riders like Villopoto, Stewart, Millsaps, Alessi, Carmichael, Windham, Emig and McGrath were all aspiring amateurs on the national circuit fighting for a chance to fulfill their dream of riding for one of the factory teams. Renthal has been involved with supporting riders at the amateur level longer than any of our competitors and our handlebars and chainwheels have won more national championships than all of them combined. Even in these tough economic times, we understand the importance of offering support at the grassroots level and that having a direct connection between the racers who use our products and us is imperative.

Walnut, CA - November 13, 2009 -- After years of making tires and rims for some of the most recognized companies in the industry, Excel Tire & Wheel is looking to take a bite out of the ATV market - quite literally! The all-new "Bite" MX tire is race-ready right out of the gate. A combination of unique compounding and an aggressive tread pattern makes for a winning team without breaking the bank.

Outside of your helmet, there's nothing more important when it comes to rider safety than boots. It's for this very reason that we put so much emphasis on only wearing the best possible products on the market. As far as we're concerned, safety is the one area where bargain shopping is a no-no. I know what a lot of you are thinking ("my work boots are comfy and work just fine"), but let us assure you that your steel-toed high-tops are about as effective at preventing serious leg injuries as a five-gallon bucket would be at preventing a head injury. Simply put, good boots are a must for anyone who rides with any degree of aggression. With all that said, sheer aggression is what it took to swindle the new Alpinestars Tech 10s away from my coworkers before they could slide their grimy feet into them.

Very few products can boast they're used by all of the major factory race teams and riders, but that's exactly the case when it comes to Hinson Racing's clutch baskets. Everyone from Dustin Wimmer to James Stewart uses Hinson for their clutch needs, and everyone agrees they're must-have items for any race bike or ATV. Hinson's clutch baskets have obtained this legendary status thanks in part to the company's proprietary "Akadization" process, which increases wear resistance by roughly 500 percent, and aerospace tolerances on all of its billet T6 aircraft-quality aluminum parts.

These organizations are once again showing their commitment to creating and keeping sustainable OHV trail systems. The scholarship is being administered by the NOHVCC. The completed applications are due on December 15, 2009. Said Kathy Van Kleeck, Sr. Vice President of Government Relations for the Motorcycle Industry Council and the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America, "MIC and SVIA are pleased to support such a worthwhile cause that combines furthering higher education with the practical tools needed to help build a positive future for off-highway vehicle recreation."
