MXA TEAM TESTED: LEATT BODY VEST ADVENTURE LITE JUNIOR Just because many professional riders shy away from wearing hard plastic protectors doesn’t mean that Junior should copy the style trends of the riders that he admires	MXA TEAM TESTED: POD MX K300 KNEE BRACE The biggest difference between the $425 Pod K700 and $265 Pod K300 (aside from the price) is the frame structure.
MXA TEAM TESTED: HJC RPHA-X HELMET Their first high-end motocross helmet features a matrix of carbon fiber, aramid, fiberglass and organic, non-woven fabric	MXA TEAM TESTED: POD MX K700 KNEE BRACE The K700 is the second-generation, high-end version of the original PodMX, and the next step up from the K700

MXA TEAM TESTED: SHORAI KTM 250/350/450SXF LIGHTWEIGHT LITHIUM LFX BATTERY KTM's are the only motocross bikes that you can save two pounds on for around $100... it would cost $1000 to do that on a KX-F, RM-Z, CRF or YZ-F	MXA TEAM TESTED: FOX RACING V4 HELMET The Fox V4 uses a dual-density liner. In our opinion, the V4 is a very safe helmet. It exceeds Snell 2010 and DOT standards

MXA TEAM TESTED: DR.D YZ450F ENGINE RELOCATION KIT All of MXA’s complaints revolved around the way the YZ450F front-end felt at turn-in, and we can gladly report that moving the engine forward 2.5mm is a big improvement	MXA TEAM TESTED: GALFER WAVE SUPERLIGHT OVERSIZE ROTOR KIT Galfer listened to feedback from their sponsored race teams, namely Joe Gibbs Racing, to developed new, lighter rotors and brackets

MXA TEAM TESTED: RIDE ENGINEERING KX450F 21.5MM OFFSET TRIPLE CLAMP For many years, the MXA wrecking crew has tinkered with different triple-clamp offsets for the Kawasaki KX450F—and for good reason	MXA TEAM TESTED: RXR STRONGFLEX ASA PROTECTOR In MXA’s opinion, this is the most protective chest protector made, so why were the test riders reluctant to race in it

MXA TEAM TESTED: ROLLON LIGHTNING THROTTLE The Lightning opens the butterfly quicker and makes the engine feel more responsive. Logically, pulling more cable per degree of throttle turn also means that the throttle will be more difficult to twist, but we had no complaints	MXA TEAM TESTED: RIDE ENGINEERING HOLESHOT DEVICE KIT The award for holeshot-device simplicity goes to Ride Engineering. Their holeshot device is an aluminum hook clamped to the fork leg that fits through a hole that you cut in your fork guard

We have test riders who have owned O’Neal Hardwear jerseys for the better part of 10 years
MXA TEAM TESTED: PC RACING NEOPRENE FORK SKINS Not every MXA test rider chooses to run fork skins, but every MXA test rider wishes that he had chosen to run fork skins when fork oil dribbles onto his front brake rotor in the middle of a race	MXA TEAM TESTED: REPLAY XD1080 VIDEO CAMERA Replay boasts that, unlike other video cameras on the market, the XD1080 has a natural field of view.

It has the lowest toe box of any boot made and looks very trick
