TowWhee Wants To Get You Out Of The Woods

Ever used a tow strap to get out of the woods? There’s not a whole lot of R&D going into these rarely-used-but-useful items—but TowWhee wants to change that. After making their name in the world of mountain bikes and ebikes, TowWhee is taking its stretchy tow straps to the world of motorcycling. A harness over the back of the bike makes it easier to tow your broken-down buddy. Photo: Zac Kurylyk The idea is simple: TowWhee makes super-strong bungee cords that come with an abrasion-resistan

Kove Branching Out Into MX, Enduro Machines

Over the past couple of years, Chinese manufacturer Kove has made big headlines by entering a factory team into the Dakar Rally, and doing pretty well considering they’re a brand-new squad on a self-developed bike. And as it turns out, they have further big plans: They’re bringing out motocross bikes now, with plans for more models next year, and enduro models as well. Kove has a 250 motocrosser bike on display at AIMExpo, and a 450. A DOHC engine that makes 37 hp. Photo: Zac Kurylyk The Gen

Report: Electric Moto Maker CAKE Is Bankrupt

Multiple Swedish news outlets are reporting that CAKE, manufacturer of electric motorcycles, is bankrupt. When CAKE first came to market before COVID-19, it was known for two things: forward-thinking designs with unique aesthetics, and an emphasis on performance and capability. Bikes like the CAKE Bukk were designed to ride fast through the woods. The Kalk AP was designed to be used as transportation for wildlife rangers fighting poachers. The Osa En was supposed to do double duty as transporta

CLICKnRIDE: Dual Sport Turn Signals That Shouldn’t Break

Ever have an idea for a motorcycle product, a product that would solve a problem? But you don’t have time to develop that product—and then you see someone else has done the job for you? That’s what happened to me yesterday, as I wandered the aisles of AIMExpo in Las Vegas (the US moto industry trade show). The CLICKnRIDE booth showed exactly what I’ve wanted for years: Easily removable turn signals. The newer style lights are quite a bit more expensive, due to better components used. Photo: Za

Rock Shox Lyrik Ultimate (2023) la test

A trecut ceva timp de când am primit noua furcă Lyrik la test, iar acum a sosit momentul să trag și concluziile. Pe scurt, nu au existat momente în care să-mi displacă această furcă, în majoritatea cazurilor aceasta oferind performanțe exemplare, pe care le așteptți de altfel de la un produs din această gamă de preț. Dar să nu vorbim încă despre costuri. Culoare în sine arată foarte bine… … dar nu se potrivește pe orice bicicletă. La nevoie, Lyrik-ul există și în culoarea neagră. Noua Lyrik fol

Denali D7 Pro: Lumens When You Want ‘Em, Dimmable When You Don’t

Denali had its new D7 Pro light on display at AIMExpo today, promising the brightest-ever driving lights under 4.5-inch diamter—and they’re also dimmable, or you can even change the beam pattern on the fly if needed. The basis of this design is a 3-LED array in the center of the light with four more LEDs around the outside. With Denali’s snap-on lenses, you can change the center to amber or other colors. Sync these lights to your bike’s electronics system with the DialDim switch or CANsmart con

All-New Arai XD5 Is At AIMExpo

Some adventure bike fans have been wondering why Arai has taken so long to update its XD-series helmets. Well, there’ve been a few reasons: COVID-19 interfered, and so did Europe’s new ECE regulations. But now, the all-new XD5 (no parts shared with the XD4!) is on display at AIMExpo in the US. It seems that riders will have quite a bit to look forward to with this new helmet. The liner has a lot of adjustability built-in, to nail the perfect fit.

Look, It’s Triumph’s New 400 Scrambler And Retro

Triumph has a lot of big news for 2023, but the new made-in-India 400 models have to be some of the most important pieces of that puzzle. This week at AIMExpo, the public is getting its first chance to see the new Scrambler 400 X and Speed 400—but you can expect to see a lot more of these bikes at dealerships near you in coming months. The scuttlebutt on the show floor is that Triumph is pushing a lot of these bikes on dealers, which means instead of the usual hurry-up-and-wait approach

Moto Morini Confirms X-Cape 1200 For North America

Moto Morini is showing its wares at AIMExpo this week, and the new X-Cape 1200 adventure bike was the center of that display. Earlier this morning, Moto Morini officially confirmed the new model is headed to the US market. We expect that means Canadians will be able to buy it as well, since Moto Morini is also expanding its North American operations northward. A company rep said Moto Morini is also aggressively expanding its network into new regions in the US at this point. A true big-bore Chi

CFMOTO has launched its Ibex 450 into the US adventure bike market, finally offering the small-bore twin-cylinder ADV that people have been demanding from other manufacturers for years. We’ve already had peeks at the Ibex 450, aka the 450MT, when it was released in other markets, but now we have the straight dope on the US-market bike’s specs. CFMOTO says the 449 cc liquid-cooled twin (with 270-degree crank) makes 44 hp at 8,500 rpm and 32.5 lb-ft of torque at 6,250 rpm in its US configuration.

CFMOTO CF450CL-C: Back To The Low-Riders!

CFMOTO is taking some ideas straight from the very successful playbook of the Big Four. Just like the Japanese did when they built their companies into powerhouses in the 1970s and 1980s, CFMOTO is launching several bikes based on the same engines, to streamline production. And just like the Japanese did decades back (and are still doing today) CFMOTO is including a small-bore cruiser with hot specs as a foundation of its lineup. For 2024, we have the new 450CL-C coming to the US. This new crui

Creatii grafice personalizate, infoliere si protectie de la CBTW: de la creatie la produsul finit. Interviu

De curând am colaborat cu cei de la Custom Bike Tuning Wrap, care mi-au propus să ofer un refresh uneia dintre bicicletele mele, mai precis o folie de protecție cu grafică personalizată. La început nu am știut neapărat pe care dintre biciclete să o înfoliez, apoi mi-am dat seama că bicicleta de trial era albastră și anostă, fără nicio grafică care s-o facă să iasă în evidență.
