monster energy quad's

Monster Energy is an energy drink that was launched by Hansen Natural in 2002. It comes in a black can with the green monster M logo. On some cans the logo is a different color. "Absolutely Zero" launched in 2003 and was the first zero calorie energy drink. The Monster Java was the first energy drink infused with coffee and was an instant hit, although sales of the Java have dropped since its launch.

The quad pilots add to the world of Monster energy, and Monster energy are mentioned in all of quad world, the graphic quads, helmets, pilot protections, boots etc…

GNCC Series.. history

In the mid-1970s, enterprising motorcycle racing promoter Dave Coombs stumbled onto the small West Virginia town of Davis. Looking at the beautiful yet rugged terrain, "Big Dave" realized it would be the perfect spot to hold a motorcycle race. And best of all, it would be a tough one-an event only the strongest riders and machines could even finish. This was the way Big Dave liked it. He called the race the Blackwater 100-"Blackwater" for nearby Blackwater Falls, and "100" for the number of miles in the race.

Blackwater soon became legendary: "America's Toughest Race." As Dave's company, Racer Productions, grew, he and his wife, Rita, began holding additional 100-mile-long events, and the series became known as the Wiseco 100 Miler Series and then the Grand National Cross Country Series.

Three-wheeled ATVs were added to the program in 1983, and four-wheelers became popular a few years later. Instead of 100-mile races, which often lasted five hours, the events were pared down to two hours for ATVs and three for bikes. The ultra-tough races were cool, but it really cut back on the amount of people willing to come try it.

By then, the first stars of GNCC Racing had been born. "Fast" Eddie Lojak took control of the first bike GNCC title runs, with Ted Trey and Tom Tokay emerging as the first ATV stars. By the 1990s, GNCC Racing was known nationwide. Blackwater reigned as the toughest event, until the town of Davis shut the doors on the event in 1993. But by then the GNCC Series was going strong even without it. This was the era of the "Great Scotts"-Kentucky's Scott Summers and Ohio's Scott Plessinger-as well as "Fast" Freddy Andrews, an aggressive motocrosser-turned-woods racer. Meanwhile, Indiana's Bob Sloan and Pennsylvania's Chuck DeLullo battled for the four-wheeled title.

Summers became a hero to the whole off-road racing community, as his professionalism and public relations skills introduced the sport to a much larger audience. Summers became one of the first off-road racers in the U.S. to make a real living as a racer.

He wouldn't be the last. Team Suzuki brought its powerful factory team into the series, led by Rodney Smith, a former motocrosser who had won races all over the world. When Smith, a Californian riding on a California-based team, signed on with GNCC, it signaled the emergence of the GNCC Series as the nation's most prestigious off-road series.

Four-Wheeled Frenzy

Barry Hawk is the only racer to win a GNCC title in both ATV (7) and bike (1)

The ATV racing world was struggling at the time, though. A rash of safety concerns in the late 1980s had scared ATV manufacturers from the racing scene. Factory rides dried up, and Honda dropped the dominant TRX250R from its lineup in 1989. But the concerted efforts of the ATV aftermarket industry and a determined gang of racers kept the flame alive. Pennsylvania's Barry Hawk became the superstar of the sport, notching an amazing seven straight GNCC ATV Championships from 1993 through 1999. By then, the ATVs were made up almost entirely of aftermarket equipment, even though they looked just like the old Hondas.

Hawk's rise culminated in a series of battles with Sloan. Sloan was so tough that he would win ATV races on Saturday and then race the bike events on Sunday, lending credibility to his "Ironman" moniker. Hawk wanted to topple Sloan on an ATV, so he copied his style and started racing a bike on Sunday. It would lead him in an entirely new direction.

Sloan, meanwhile, had been diagnosed with a heart problem, but he kept on racing, true to his Ironman spirit. But one day his heart gave out in a hard-fought race to the finish. One of the series' greatest champions had passed. In his memory, the GNCC finale runs in Bob's home state of Indiana and is nicknamed The Ironman.

The Vision

Dave Coombs poured his heart and sweat and life into the series. It wasn't rare to see Dave lay out the course, run the riders' meeting, patrol the track, give a TV interview, guide photographers to prime spots, keep tabs on the pits and parking, and then go out and race a few laps himself!

The series lost Big Dave in 1998, leaving a major void in the sport he helped create. His family stepped up and continued to run the series, keeping true to Big Dave's vision. His son-in-law, Jeff Russell (JR), won the 1991 AMA National Enduro Championship; a few years later he began working side-by-side with Big Dave building the tracks. JR, as he is called, is today's GNCC Trail Boss.

At the turn of the millennium, changes were afoot in the series. Hawk had progressed so far on a bike that Yamaha offered him a full factory contract. The deal was too good to refuse, so he parked his ATV and a huge chase for his ATV title ensued. Kentucky's Bill Ballance claimed it, leading a Southern surge in the series. More races were being hosted in the South, with help from a variety of regional figures like Buren Hamrick, who runs the popular Mid-East Hare Scramble Series in the Carolinas and joined the GNCC crew to assist JR at the races.

The series was about to grow a whole lot more. In 1999, Australian off-road sensation Shane Watts ventured to the U.S. after an incredible run through the international enduro scene. In 2000, he dominated the GNCC series and won races on five different sizes of KTM motorcycles.

Watts' personality drew plenty of attention too. He was brash and outspoken. He showed up at all sorts of events-even motocross races-and rode well at them all. Unfortunately, Watts suffered through a huge string of injuries and rarely had the patience to heal properly before returning. Watts, considered the Travis Pastrana of off-road, was never able to win the GNCC crown again.

New Heroes

Smith proved to be the ultimate GNCC lifer, as he fought off "too old" claims to retake the GNCC title in 2001; he would win it again in 2002 and 2004, at the age of 40. The series kept drawing exciting new talent, but perhaps the strongest of all turned out to be the quad guy: Barry Hawk claimed the 2003 GNCC Bike title, and with eight GNCC titles (seven on the ATV and one on the bike), Hawk serves as the only rider to win championships on both sides of the spectrum.

While Ballance was busy trying to break all of Hawk's ATV records, his championships were gaining attention too, as ATV manufacturers slowly began to introduce sporty models again and the sport grabbed another gear. Ballance kept winning and Yamaha offered him a factory contract. The other manufacturers soon followed, and new manufacturers like Can-Am and KTM even jumped in with race machines and factory rides. Suzuki young gun Chris Borich snagged the 2009 and 2010 GNCC ATV titles, but not before Ballance smashed Hawk's all-time championship record. Hawk hung up the boots at the end of 2010 and now spends his time assisting JR in his Trail Boss duties and has become an asset to the Racer Productions crew year-round, giving Ballance a little more breathing room until the next multi-time champion comes along.

Chris Borich has taken the ATV torch with 3 championships under his belt

Borich returned in 2011 to gain his third-consecutive championship, but with the increase in young talent moving up each year, can Borich hold on long enough to challenge Ballance's nine-time record?

The other GNCC classes kept growing too. The morning race created its own stars, like eight-time Women's Champion Traci Cecco, who scored a factory Yamaha deal, and KTM rider Angel Atwell. The Utility classes evolved from a class for farmers into a full-blown race division, with factory teams and hungry privateers pushing it every week.

On the bike side, the series had evolved from a single race in a small West Virginia town to a global phenomenon. In 2005, KTM imported Finland's Juha Salminen, known as one of the most talented riders the series has ever seen, and he dominated the Bikes game for two years. Then, Isle of Man ace David Knight took his place and took the 2007 and 2008 titles. New Zealand's Paul Whibley took the 2009 GNCC title, and Australia's Josh Strang won the 2010 edition.

Charlie Mullins became the first Amercan-born bike champ since 2004, proof that GNCC Racers are the best from all over the globe

In 2011, Ohio's Charlie Mullins, arguably the first champ to have gone all the way through the GNCC-ranks, from youth to pro, became the first American champ since 2004, when Rodney Smith won his fourth and final GNCC title. Mullins set the bar for a whole new generation of amateur racers who have now seen the American Dream play out before their eyes.

GNCC Racing has been making strides in the exposure department for years, but what really separates the series is the elevated television package that began in 2001 and has since evolved into part of a 52-week package on the NBC Sports Network.

It's also a big credit to a man named Dave Coombs, who thought this whole thing up thirty years ago. Even with all the growth, there has always been camaraderie and a family atmosphere at the events. Win or lose, pro or amateur, GNCC Racing is all about simply trying your best against the terrain. It's the way Big Dave wanted it back then, and it's the way it remains today.

amazing interview to Eric Hoyland

This is a resume of an interview that GNCC make to now more about Eric Hoyland

Eric Hoyland has shown himself to be a contender in the XC2 ProAm class by snagging quite a few podiums against a stacked field. For 2012 The Hurricane is back with DeRisi Racing, feeling confident and gunning for the XC2 ProAm title.

What are your plans for the 2012 season?
I'll be back with DeRisi Racing doing the GNCC and Mid-East Series, and hoping to snag some wins.

Great to hear! What are you doing to get ready for the 2012 season?
I've been doing a lot of cardio training. I actually just bought a dirt bike recently and have been riding it some. I hit the first Mid-East race this past Sunday, which was pretty good. I was leading, but Bryan Cook passed me on the last lap and we finished right there together. Then I've been doing a good bit of motocross, actually riding more of that than anything so far.

So taking after a lot of guys and training on the moto track works for you as well?
Oh yeah, definitely. I really just enjoy it and it's a lot of fun. For me, it's the most fun training you can do versus just going out, pounding laps in the woods and beating the equipment up. That's not much fun for me, and I enjoy riding motocross a lot more, so when it comes to actually racing in the woods, it ends up being that much better for me.

How much off-season racing have you done so far?
I've actually only raced two races so far, but I've ridden multiple days every weekend. The last two weekends I've actually gotten out and raced though.

Going back to 2011, how did the year go for you?
It was pretty good! It was my first season with DeRisi Racing and I managed to put in some solid races and get seven or eight podiums, which was pretty good. Recapping it like that sounds so short but that's pretty much it. (laughs)

So how are you feeling coming into the new season?
I'm feeling excellent right now! I'm at probably the lowest weight I've ever been, even lighter than back in high school. I'm just feeling really good on the bike, really comfortable and I'm having a lot of fun on it. I have really high expectations for the season.

So what are those high expectations?
Well, I'm planning to win the class and finish 8th overall. That's the goal.

With Walker Fowler stepping up to the XC1 class, how do you think that will affect the face of competition in the XC2 class?
You know, I think it's actually going to be pretty much the same as last year but instead of everyone battling for those second and third spots, we're going to be battling for the win. In a way, it might make the racing more interesting since it's actually for the win. So, I plan to just throttle it out until the end and see what I end up with.

What will it take on your part to jump up into that number one spot?
It's going to take a lot of luck for sure and basically just to make sure I'm always having fun (laughs).

So you actually work a regular job during the week too, right?
Yep. Well, I wouldn't actually say it's a "regular" job but I do work Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at a motorcycle shop in Christansburg, Virginia. It's almost strictly motorcycles; we hardly sell any ATV stuff. It's basically all dirt bikes and street bikes.

What's it like for you to balance that with racing on the weekends?
It's not too bad at all. It's not the job that holds me back it's just the fact that I don't have an ATV with me. All my stuff is down at the DeRisi shop, which is about 3 hours from me. So, I kind of started getting bored during the week and that's why I bought a dirt bike, just to get to ride on Wednesdays when I'm off work and it holds me off until I go ride the quad on the weekends.

There are quite a few guys who ride bikes as well, is it good cross-training for you?
Yeah, it's definitely good cross-training as long as I can keep from getting hurt on it! (laughs).

Yeah, it's a little bit different than a quad, isn't it?
Oh yeah, it's definitely a bit different. I don't push it too hard and like I said, I only ride motocross on it so there's a lot less to hit.

Alright, before we wrap this up, who would you like to thank?
I'd like to thank DeRisi Racing, DC Cycles, GBC Tires, RG Honda/Yamaha, Faast, Spider Grips, IMS, Liquid Performance, DP Brakes, QuadTech, Wiseco, GPR, Maier, Tireballs, Powerbar, Moose Racing, Hyper, HMF, Rekluse, Twin Air, Fox, Bell helmets, Dirt Works, and Scott.

2012 GNCC ATV RACING SERIES

2012 GNCC ATV RACING SERIES
ROUND 6 - LIMESTONE 100
SPRINGFIELD, IN
MAY 12, 2012

1 CHRIS BORICH WINS THIRD STRAIGHT AT LIMESTONE 100 GNCC, ADAM MCGILL AND TAYLOR KISER PODIUM

Springfield, IN (5/12/2012) – It wasn’t long ago that Chris Borich was chasing the likes of GNCC icons Bill Ballance and Barry Hawk through the XC1 Pro ranks, in hopes to one day become a multi-time champion too. But with three titles under his belt already, Borich is well on his way to a fourth as he’s swept five of the six rounds in the 2012 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series. Much speculation buzzed around this weekend’s new Dunlop Limestone 100 venue, which heightened the already tight-knit race action and created an even more level playing field in the ATV competition. But it was once again Chris Borich who showed true champion composure while mapping out a strategic lead in the final stretch of the two-hour race in southern Indiana.

The Ballance Racing Yamaha duo of Fowler and Kiser pitted around the halfway point and opened the door for Wolf and McClure to chase the leaders of McGill and Borich. In the midst of the intense freight train action, the top contenders made it a point to show the spectators just how much fun they were having on the course.

McClure put himself within striking distance of the leaders in the second half of the race and it appeared that he might grab his first podium finish of the year, until he began experiencing mechanical issues on the fourth lap. This marks yet another mechanical issue for McClure this season, but the Pennsylvania still holds tenth overall in the standings with two fourth place finishes so far.

Motoworks/Can-Am’s Chris Bithell was another rider that got caught in the early carnage, but the Pennsylvania rider made his way up to the top five battles by the halfway point. Bithell came through Pro Row on the final lap inside a podium position, but Kiser ended up taking away the third place spot.

McGill fell into the lead around lap two and held off the defending champ for a solid three laps before Borich pulled his signature move and blasted into the lead with only one lap to go. “I tell you what, Racer Productions did an awesome job with the track today, it was by far one of the best tracks I’ve been on. It really suits my style because it’s fast and slick and you can rail the berms,” Borich exclaimed.

Borich pulled a sizeable gap on McGill’s second place ride on lap five, but McGill never let up as he kept himself within striking distance of the defending champ. McGill came through the finish less than 30 seconds behind Borich, admittedly losing wind towards the end of the race.

“I liked the track today, it was more my style. I went as hard as I could and towards the end there I started to hit a wall,” McGill said. “But two more weeks and we’re going to be in my neck of the woods and it’s going to be my time to win here soon!”

Waynesburg Yamaha’s Gabe Phillips took his third XC2 Pro Am win of the season, bringing him within only three points of the newest points leader Braden Henthorn. DeRisi Racing’s Henthorn came in second place behind Phillips in XC2, just ahead of Greg’s ATV & Cycle’s Matt Hanna. Hanna’s third place finish puts him in fifth place overall, behind Eric Hoyland (4th) and Patrick McGuire (5th), who both experienced bad luck in Indiana. McGuire got caught up in some first corner carnage, while Hoyland experienced some mechanical issues that kept him from finishing the race.

Indiana local Fred Marley took home the Junior A (22+) class win, and also grabbed the Top Amateur Award, beating out Ohio’s Brycen Neal. Neal contested the top amateur position throughout the two-hour competition and managed to grab another win in the College A (16-21) class.

GT Thunder’s Dave Simmons topped the AM overall once again, besting an entire field of the best amateur and 4x4 racers in the country, and taking home yet another Super Senior (45+) win. But it was actually former XC1 Pro Donnie Ockerman who topped Simmons in the overall, making his first return to GNCC since the 2011 season finale at Loretta Lynn's. Ockerman took the Sportsman A/B class victory, with a self-proclaimed enjoyable experience in the two-hour competition. Can-Am X-Team’s Bryan Buckhannon not only bested the 4x4 division, but also finished second overall and grabbed the class win in the 4x4 Open division. Pennsylvania’s Angel Atwell landed the final spot on the overall podium and took her third Women’s class win of the season. Atwell and Yamaha Racing’s Traci Cecco now share three wins a piece heading into round seven in two weeks.Usual AM front-runners Kevin Trantham and Marshal Goings experienced mechanical issues in the early stages of the race, taking both riders out of contention for overall podium finishes this weekend.

Shelbyville, Indiana’s Charlie Welch took his first Youth overall win of the season this weekend in front of his hometown crowd. Welch has been switching off wins with North Carolina’s Matt Owen all season and his hometown win put the Indiana boy into the 90 Mod (13-15) CVT class lead with seven rounds to go. Zachary Jones grabbed another 90 Open (12-15) class win ahead of defending Youth champ Hunter Hart, as the duo made up the rest of the overall podium. Hart is still recovering from a leg injury and managing to salvage championship points along the way.

Round seven of the 2012 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series heads to Masontown, W. Va. May 12 and 13 for the Mountaineer Run GNCC.

NEW YFZ

THE NEW YAMAHA YFZ

Key Features:

-The prestigious “ATV of the Year” Award from ATV Sport Magazine. “Best in Class” from ATV/SxS Illustrated. Winner of shootout after shootout. The YFZ450R took ’em all – in its first model year, right out of the starting gate. This is one amazing ATV!

-In ATV motocross, great power output doesn’t mean much without superior handling. YFZ450R delivers! The stance of the YFZ450R is motocross ready. The weldless frame is designed from lightweight aluminum, with a tension-steel bottom frame that lets the engine sit lower for excellent mass centralization. Suspension components have more travel, carefully chosen for best performance, and the front shock bodies feature Kashima coating for even smoother operation.

-Fatigue can sometimes be a racer’s worst competition. That’s why the YFZ450R’s designers made this ATV so comfortable. It boasts racer friendly ergonomics with plenty of room to hang off in the corners, and the seat is padded just right to be more comfortable regardless of riding position. Handlebars are 4-position adjustable, too, so every rider can choose the best position, and the throttle has been designed for all day comfort.

-This 449cc engine uses titanium five-valve cylinder head technology, with a camshaft designed just for this machine to deliver abundant low to midrange torque for performance where you can really use it to take the lead – while still maintaining a super strong top end to let you pull away from the pack.

-The YFZ450R incorporates Yamaha Fuel Injection for precise fuel delivery. With big 42mm Mikuni®throttle body and 12-hole injector, this system provides exceptional atomization of the fuel for maximum power. The system also includes ISC (Idle Speed Control) for easy, reliable start-up and warming.

-This ATV is designed to make race prep easy. Body panels come off easily for service; there’s no need to remove the battery or other components to get the fenders off. The aluminum frame is bolted together, rather than welded, for maximum durability. And the oil tank is integrated with the crankcase so it’s easier to service the engine.

Engine:

-The fuel-injected 449cc engine has superb power characteristics. Power delivery is smooth and strong off the line with lots of low and mid range where you need it.

-The crankcase holds a crankshaft that’s ready to handle the increased balance ratio, as well as a counterbalancer for superior vibration control. The crankcase also houses the oil tank, which helps to centralize mass for unmatched handling and makes maintenance easier.

-Camshafts are designed to maximize the torque available in the low and mid ranges.

-Fuel injection uses a 12-hole injector that provides exceptional atomization of the fuel for maximum combustion efficiency and power delivery. The system also uses a big, 42mm Mikuni®throttle body and includes ISC (Idle Speed Control) for easy, reliable start-up and warming.

Chassis/Suspension:

-The chassis is very spacious, allowing room for even an aggressive racer to move around during the moto, and the ATV’s body panels that the rider contacts during operation are of a softer plastic material for greater comfort. The seat is narrow in the front, yet wide and padded in the rear to provide a more comfortable ride, even when hanging off on the side of the seat in a turn.

-The wheel has been designed with the inner lip rolled in. This increases the rigidity, allowing a reduction in weight while maintaining strength.

-Wheels are set motocross-spec wide, near the maximum allowable 50 inches, for great cornering ability. The Dunlop®tires are grippy with a great pattern for cornering, and at 20 inches in the rear and 21 inches in the front, provide much better ground clearance than the competition. That makes the YFZ450R fun to ride off-road, too.

-ProTaper® handlebars are mounted on 4-way clamps for exceptional adjustability. There are two sets of holes in the handlebar crown, and eccentric clamps so the rider can choose the standard setting, 10mm or 20mm forward, or 10mm back.

-Foot pegs are a generous 2.6 inches wide, something riders will appreciate every time they want to get up on the pegs, with good kick-up on the ends for solid footing.

-The frame is aluminum for lightweight, except for the frame member under the engine. Here tensioned steel is used for its combination of strength and thinness. This allowed the designers to sit the engine lower overall for excellent mass centralization for unmatched handling. The aluminum frame is bolted together, rather than welded, for maximum durability.

-The front frame is noticeably narrow at the A-arm mounting points. This dramatically reduces changes in camber as the long A-arms travel through their full range of motion. The front 44mm KYB® shocks have Kashima coating for smooth operation with superb bump absorption and excellent anti-bottoming characteristics. The 9.8 inches of wheel travel means this racer is up to even the most challenging tracks.

-The rear swingarm is crafted of strong, gravity-fed aluminum, and it’s matched to a fully adjustable 46mm KYB® piggyback shock absorber for excellent handling. Rear wheel travel is 11.0 inches for comfort even on tough terrain.

-For excellent stopping ability, YFZ450R features dual front hydraulic disc brakes and a trick looking, lightweight wave-type rear rotor.

Additional Features:

-The throttle lever requires low effort, and it’s very comfortable to use. That means less fatigue during all-day riding.

-The instrumentation is all business. The discrete panel on the fender in front of the rider gives vital indicators about low fuel, coolant temperature, check engine, and neutral gear via a straightforward LED display.

GOOGLES

new generation of GOOGLES!!!

-Rip´N´roll are the market leaders when it comes to roll off goggle systems and have been making the Rip´N´Roll option for most goggles for years.
-This system allows a unique option of running the roll off system, yet still being able to run 2 or 3 tear off films for the first few laps of a motocross race. The result is no compromise between roll off's and tear off's, you get the best of both worlds. THAT GOOGLES ARE AMAZING!

HELMET

HELMET, WHY AND WITCH ONE?



-Whenever one decided for a motorcycle, it is important that they know the importance of having to wear helmets for safety reasons. This is because of the fact that motorcycle riders are more susceptible for crash and accidents. Regardless of different attempts to emphasize safety, people are still ignoring the importance of having to wear a good helmet.
-Head injuries are the most rampant cause of death when it comes to motorcycle accidents. Severe injuries or deaths could have been prevented if riders would recognized the fact that helmet absorbs much of the force of impact. The rising mortality rates including this kind of accidents prompted the government to implement law that requires riders to wear helmets.
-Almost all of then helmet that you can find in the market are made out of plastic. These are designed with crumple zones to be able to absorb shock on impact. Typically, the most expensive kinds of helmet are made out of carbon fiber and Kevlar.
-Helmets, are designed with pad interiorly, this helps fit more securely thus offering added protection. In the events of collision, certain areas of the helmet are designed to crack so as to absorb shock.
-There are factors to consider when availing a good helmet; such are type of motorcycle and weather condition. Helmets for motocross and racing can also be different. The types of helmets which are specially made for motorcycle riders are:
-The Full face helmet is the one that provides best coverage for the face and head. The face shield protects the rider from debris and insects that could distract the concentration of the rider.
-The Modular Helmet is the one also referred to as flip up as the front portion can be manipulated upwards. It resembles the full face helmet when it is closed.
-One professionally designed helmet for those who ride dirt bikes is the Motocross helmet. This kind presents extra protection for the chin and visor. It has an open face design that is why riders are required to wear goggles for full protection.
-The helmet that only covers the head only and has no chin bar or protection for the face is the Open Face helmet. This requires the rider to use goggles to be protected against debris.
-The kind of helmet that gives very little protection in the event of a collision is the Half Helmet. This kind of helmet can be useful for travelling short distances only.
-The growing numbers of motorcycle related deaths are caused by head injuries. As such, the helmet as a protective device and important piece of motorcycle gear cannot be overstated and ignored. Riders can find many designs available which should suit even the most receptive riders. 
Full race helmets can serve as a complete protection for the face of motorists. It is a motorcycle helmet that everyone must have to prevent damages they might get.

The Pinnacle of Performance
The Instinct objective was to produce a boot with exceptional ankle support, a hinge design that keeps a supple, leather boot feel with instant comfort and no break-in time.

Comfort and Support:

• Comfortable and supportive insole - The athletic footbed acting as the first stage in Instinct's progressive cushioning system is similar to one that you would find in a running shoe.
• Durable and strong shank - Imbedded in the Polyurethane mid-sole, the the shank design is perfectly positioned to provide arch support while letting the front of the foot and boot flex for good bike interface and for walking comfort.
• Comfortable mid-sole - The Polyurethane mid-sole provides amazing step-in comfort and vibration dampening. The embedded, tempered steel shank is encapsulated in the PU material giving the Instinct footeg arch support and awesome comfort.
• Well-placed heel - the strategically located TPU Heel Stabilizer provides heel and arch support.
• Durable and vibration-absorbent out-sole - Features Fox's Duratac rubber compound that disperses vibrations from the bike, provides amazing grip and outstanding durability.
Buckles:

• All new patented buckle design that utilizes a pivoting clasp system.
• By using a spherical locking head, the Instinct buckle works like a ball and socket joint. The clasp pivots 8 degrees in both directions allowing for automatic natural alignment of the straps.
• Easy to use; smooth operation time and time again.
• Buckles move with boot as it flexes.
Interface:

• RCI- Ride Control Interface; the entire out-sole and medial side of the boot is shaped and textured to provide the rider with unobstructed contact with the bike.
• LRC - Low Ride Chassis; gets the rider's foot lower and closer to the footpeg. Lower toe box provides easier shifting and better rear brake feel and control.
• Duratac - rubber compound on the out-sole, burn guard and hinge cover was engineered exclusively by Fox's development team. The goal was to achieve optimal grip with bulletproof durability.
Fluid Movement:

• FRE (Full Response Engineering) hinge design provides a controlled range of movement allowing effortless linear mobility and incredible lateral stability.
• Patented hinge lock-out stops rear motion before hyper-extension.
• Top of boot gasket creates a secure seal. Velcro was eliminated to offer increased mobility.
R&D Wear Testing:

• The Instinct has undergone the most extensive product wear testing in the history of Fox.
• Six prototypes and hundreds of test boots over three years evolved into the Instinct of today.
• Ricky Carmichael started initial testing process in January 2009.
• Two Championships and multiple race wins have already been achieved (Barcia in East SX Lites and Roczen in the MX2 World Championship).
• The final result is a clear elevation of motocross boot performance.
