Why do I use Flexx Bars?

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Why do I use Flexx Bars? For starters, use what works!! Fasst Company Flexx Bars take the rigid feel out of a standard bar. Have you ever hit a g-out the wrong way then causing your wrists to hurt? Flexx Bars take the harshness away from a hard hit. They are designed to take vibration out by eliminating metal to metal contact. Most importantly, Fasst Company does not sacrifice control or handling of the bike. The bike still goes where you want it, easily. (ADD PHOTO) Flexx Bars are tunable to your personal preference. Different bar bends are available. I use 14-degree enduro low. Perfect bars for a short person (I’m 5’2”)! Enduro bars are 31 inches wide and the moto bars are 32 inches. All Flexx Bars come with different color elastomers to allow a rider to choose, soft, stiff, or in between. After my elbow injury, I softened up my bars to the softest option. I use blue/yellow. It makes such a huge different for me. I truly believe these bars allowed me to ride when my elbow was still tender. The most common thing I hear from potential customers is Flexx Bars are heavy. Well, what about all that bling junk that’s on your bike? Isn’t that heavy? Off road rider with all the necessary and unnecessary guards? For the average rider, weight should not be a problem. Flexx Bars don’t feel heavy nor do they make the bike feel top heavy. We weighed a set of Flexx Bars and bar mounts vs other anti-vibration bar mounts and Protaper bars, the weight was within ounces of each other! Do Flexx Bars help with arm pump? To be honest, I rarely get arm pump in general. If I do, it is because I am not using my legs enough. Grabbing the bike with your legs, allows you to loosen up your grip on your hands which results in a less chance of arm pump. Think about it and try it out next time you ride. I use Flexx Bars for the added comfort. I do not feel them moving when I am riding but as soon as I jump on a bike without them, I instantly notice how rigid standard bars are. I use them because they work and they make long days easier on me. (ADD PHOTO) More Posts Back To Blog Page

2023 Beta 300 Race Edition Review

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

2023 Beta 300 Race Edition Review We hosted a Beta demo day in early December. It was a grand opportunity to test out the new 2023 Beta 300 Race Edition! Updates to the 2023 3 hundo Race Edition include: KYB REAR SHOCK ! – This is HUGE. Slimmer radiator shrouds – Gives the bike a sleeker look and improves aerodynamics. Slightly different cylinder, head, and power valve than the standard RR. This provides more compression and power. We rode this bike completely stock, exactly how it comes off of the showroom floor. My first impression was how GOOD the stock suspension was. The KYB shock is phenomenal. I have been riding Beta’s for the last 7 years and I can personally say with a few clicker adjustments the stock suspension is great. I would feel completely comfortable going straight to a race on it. The power was snappy and pulled great out of corners. It wanted to be ridden hard but still keeps true to Beta’s “Rideability” . I can’t write a review without talking about how beautiful Beta’s are. Every year, they find a way to give it that “DAMN” factor. Please excuse me while I wipe off my drool. Every year Beta continues to fine-tune and improve their bikes. Everyone here at the dealership is super impressed with the entire 2023 lineup.   More Posts Back To Blog Page

Do you avoid hard things?

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Do you avoid hard things? Fun fact – I used to be a hater of the sand. I would purposely avoid it because it was hard and my performance in it lacked. Did that make me better, no. Was I taking the easy way, yes. The easy way leads to mediocrity, not growth. But what happens when you do the hard things? Growth, improvement, self-confidence, and ultimately happiness. The hard things are what you need most to reach the next step. I have my discipline to a point where, I do the hard things, the things I hate. Change your perspective and crave those ass kicker sessions! It’s not about avoiding the struggle but developing the ability to thrive in it. A friend once told me, “if you can go fast and ride well in sand, you can do that anywhere”. My skill set was not sand, I mean I live in the middle of MISSOURI! But I have spent many weekends in the sand box and now I have a strong skill set. What do you struggle with and purposely avoid? Chances are you need to work at it.

Beta 200 vs Beta 250 – What is your pick?

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Beta 200 vs Beta 250 – What is your pick? So, stoked to finally test out a Beta 200! Back in 2019, Beta released the 200 and in 2021 they offer a 200 RR and Race Edition. It has been a massive hit and we have not been able to keep it on the floor for more than 24 hours. I tested out the 2019 200 in mostly stock form. It had a few guards, fat grips, and a FMF Turbine Core silencer. Like I said, basically a stock bike. Since the 250 Race Edition has been my bike of choice for the last 3 years, I wanted to compare the two. My bike is set up for me and my personal preference. A few things that are MUSTS for me: Fasst Company Flexx Bars, ARC levers, ODI EMIG lock on grips, Fasst Company Impact Pegs, FMF Fatty, and Rekluse clutch. Another over looked item; getting your suspension set up for your weight and riding ability along with setting the sag. Stock 200 vs my personal set up race bike – made it interesting but I ignored those preferred things when riding it. First thought after lap 1 – “THIS BIKE IS SICK!” Literally so much fun. It reminds me of my 125 but on steroids. Unlike the 125, it does have awesome lugging capabilities when you need it. It also requires less shifting than the 125 and is more forgiving. It does not have to be rode hard to go. The power is smooth and controllable. The weight difference between the 200 and 250 is very noticeable. I felt like it was easier to get the front end up and it wanted to float. In a good way, like bounce in the correct ways. I felt fast on it but did not get to push it as hard as I wanted. Suspension was a too soft. I am going to put my ’18 race edition forks and shock on it and spend more time on it. I got off the bike with a BIG smile! I hopped on my 250 with the thought of it will be hard to beat the fun factor of the 200. It has been a little bit since I have ridden my ’20 250 and man, I forgot how dang good that bike is! Super-duper smooth power delivery. Crisp and really spot on in general. It is the best bike I have ever had and the best looking! I can corner my 250 better than the 200 but I think it could be a combination of tires and suspension. (ADD PHOTO) Final thoughts, BOTH are really good bikes. Depends on what you are after. I shift less on my 250 than I do on the 200. The sound of the 200 makes me feel like I am riding the shit out of it, which boosts my confidence. The lighter weight helped me get more air on the jumps I was hitting. Not that it is important for a woods rider, but keep in mind moto skills cross with woods skills. The 200 would be awesome in tighter technical terrain and the 250 would shine in open terrain. Both have their place and I can’t pick which one is better. THEY ARE AMAZING! I intend to make a few personal preference changes to the 200 to get a better feel for it. More Posts Back To Blog Page
