Rider Triangle Life: Helping You Find A Better Cockpit

Crossbar or no crossbar, half waffle vs. no waffle vs. full waffle and grip compound advice... How do you know if you’re a crossbar type of rider or a non crossbar type of rider? Maybe you don't care? Sometimes it’s just by what you feel is most comfortable but other times it’s off of feel. I use…

Flo Titanium Footpegs

There are many types of aftermarket parts that are easy to improve upon with stock motorcycles, but there are also some that are pretty damn good in production form (like the new 2022.5 KTM Factory Edition footpegs).
