MSR

With a product lineup developed by the likes of Barry Hawk, 2003 GNCC champ; Jason Raines who has 10 AMA National victories and twenty National Offroad victories; Randy Hawkins, seven time AMA National Enduro Champion; and Malcolm Smith, a pioneer of off-road motorcycling; MSR doesn't take its 30 plus years in the industry for granted.

Back in '04 MSR came under the leadership of Dave Casella who took what was perceived as a strictly off-road brand and developed it into the brand that people who love driving through the dirt go to. One of his first acts was to revamp the product lines and that meant bringing in top rides from both the MX and XC racers. The result: cleaner more practical designs with a fiercer look.

MSR removed half a pound from their NXT pants, created a new knee and a back yoke that allows more flexibility so the pants stay on your hips while in the riding position. And both the Velocity and Velocity X helmets are SNELL/DOT approved, with widescreen eye ports featuring a rubber roost shield for protection and adjustable air-intake ports located at the eyebrow. And while MSR doesn't boast a dramatic line of color choices, they've narrowed the field to a crisp, eye-popping palette that's sure to keep any mud covered rider looking stylish.

With a rejuvenated product line that's creating a lot of buzz in the motosport world, MSR is a company that plans on being around for another 30 plus years, providing durable equipment for not only you, but for generations to come.
