SPEEDMOB ADDS TWO BRANDS TO ITS LINEUP SpeedMob Inc. announced the addition of two new American brands: Core Moto brake lines and LynxHooks interlocking tie-down systems. Tim Calhoun, president of SpeedMob said: "We are continually seeking out pre- mium brands and brands we consider best in category, and we feel these new products fit that bill. These brands we're announcing are backed by passionate individuals who represent the American entrepreneurial spirit and pride in workmanship that comes with that. It allows my company and staff to sell with confidence, as we know that we are delivering incredible products to our dealers and consumers." Core Moto has been a player in power- sports, and owner Luke McCracken has been building some of the best brake lines in the business for some time now. Calhoun said: "The color matching is phenomenal, and the fit, finish, packaging and performance are second to none." SpeedMob will start with off-road offer- ings and move to additional street offerings throughout the spring. These products are in stock and ready to deliver. LynxHooks, a 2014 Powersports Busi- ness Nifty 50 winner, is a relatively new brand conceived by four partners who were sick of using sub-par tie-downs and bungie cord systems. "These are an incredible solution to the age old issue of reliably strapping down items to your bike, ATV, UTV or anything else you are transporting goods with," Cal- houn said. These fully adjustable, flexible straps offer a unique interlocking hook system that allows the user to add additional straps to configure as large of a tie-down platform as is needed by snapping the end hooks together. They are also available in several different colors. MITAS INTRODUCES NEW MOTOCROSS TIRES Mitas displayed new motocross tires at Red Bull Day in the Dirt #17 in Glen Helen, Calif., Nov. 28-30. As a sponsor of this leg- endary motocross race, Mitas unveiled its new C-25 (front) and C-24 (rear) tires for use on extra-soft and muddy terrains and the C-27 (front) and C-26 (rear) tires for use on extra-hard and rocky terrains. "Mitas' dedication to motorcycle riders and racers for generations in Europe is now growing stronger in the United States," said Ksenija Bitenc, managing director for Mitas Moto. The Mitas C-25 and C-24 tires boast excellent self-cleaning properties and rid- ing characteristics on sand and muddy ter- rains. Mitas C-25 and C-24 will be released for sale in January. Other new products in the motocross tire segment are Mitas C-27 and C-26. Their main advantages are good durability and optimal riding properties on rough terrain. These tires will be available in December 2014. New profiles will be produced in the two most popular dimen- sions: 80/100-21 and 110/90-19.
