Racer X Illustrated — October 2017

THE

Moose

XC1 Body and Base Armor

Since I’m a new rider who is just learning, I find myself crashing in ways I never

thought possible. Moose XC1 Body Armor is light and flexible and is a great

piece to wear because it helps protect you just like a normal outside protec-

tor would, but you hardly even notice it. The upper-body armor features level

1 back, chest, elbow, and shoulder armor, and a full-length YKK zipper makes

it easy to put on and take off. The XC1 Base Armor Pant is flexible and features

padding throughout the front thigh, hip, and tailbone. If you’re going to crash—like

I’ve been doing a lot—make sure you’re wearing the proper protection. Kyle Wallenberg

Tri-Fit Handguards

When you’re riding in tight confines, the

slightest mistake can cause you to clip a

tree and break a knuckle, hand, or finger.

Protect yourself and grab some hand-

guards. The new Tri-Fit handguard from

Acerbis is a perfect fit for almost any ap-

plication. This multifunctional handguard

allows three different configurations:

Closed Wrap, MX Open, and ATV. I used

the MX Open configuration on our TTR 230 for basic knuckle and

lever protection, but the more hardcore off-road rider would prefer the

Closed Wrap configuration. Mounting was quite easy, and it definitely

worked without breaking on the crash test. Scott Wallenberg

For folks who really get out in the

mud and grime in the off-road world,

blown fork seals are pretty standard.

Seals can only handle so much wa-

ter and dirt in them before they start

leaking. Fork Buddys are an easy

solution to keep your fork seals

and sliders protected and working

perfectly. You pull the forks out of

the clamps and slide the guards

on, zip-tying them in place once they cover the sliders.

After that, you can bomb through the muck without fear of

having to replace another fork seal. David Pingree
