2023 Husqvarna TX 300 Bike
The Good
*Incredible motor
*Intuitive handling
*Suspension shows lots of promise
*Strong reliability; cheap to keep running
The Bad
*Stator output is poor for anyone who is running a fan/lights & riding slower terrain
*Brake Tech brakes are not as high performing as Brembo/Magura
*Flywheel may be too light for some tastes
*Fuel tank pickups in the wrong spot
Overall Review
Those looking to skip my 20 minutes of rambling, my TL;DR conclusion is as follows... If you are in need of a new bike (yours is clapped) any TBI bike is well worth the look. The motor really is brilliant. However, there are subtle but important differences between the enduro & XC models that were not present in prior model years (2023 vs 2024; XC-W/TE vs XC/TX) If you don't need a new bike, but want a new bike, its still worth looking at any TBI bike (again, the motor is awesome), even at full

DeCal Works DeCal Works Seat Covers
Decal Works
The Good
Grip for days
Custom color options
Great instructions
Speedy delivery
The Bad
None to mention
Overall Review
Decal MX custom seat covers come with a huge range of options. The gripper material on these covers is second to none. Originally quoted from Decal MX as having a 3 week lead time on shipping, these were at my door within 2 weeks. Grab a staple gun and some stainless steel staples and it was stretched on in no time. The seat cover comes with enough material to easily stretch it across your foam. This is a well thought out product that lends itself to an easy installation. Customize your side

Acerbis X-Seat Soft
The Good
Solid color foam, can't rip or tear wear and seams
The Bad
Yeah It is heavier than stock
Overall Review
I have been running this seat on my 17 TX 300 for three years about 120 hours, after using up the stock and a Seat Concepts cover. The soft seat is more firm than stock but it breaks in and the foam density stays consistent rather than packing. I will buy another one for my next bike.

2021 Husqvarna TX 300i
The Good
Intuitive handling
Smooth power delivery
Suspension much better than the internet would lead you to believe
No jetting required.
Reliable motor package.
Price (GasGas)
The Bad
Plastics not designed for easy "grabbing".
No idle adjust (or real idle adjust) from the factory.
Motor tuning could be better, thankfully aftermarket has addressed this. Rear shock lacks rebound adjustment range.

ProTaper Clamp-On Pillow Top Grip
The Good
Easy to install
The Bad
They are super thin. The bumps are at least half as high as the glue on Pillowtops.
Overall Review
I've used glue on Pillowtops for over ten years. They legit help with arm pump. The clamp on pillowtops are NOT the same grip. They have been shaved down a LOT to make up for the extra tube thickness beneath the grip.

2022 Yamaha YZ125
Overall Review
The day has finally come. We took the arrival of the all-new 2022 Yamaha #YZ125 #twostroke at Glen Helen Raceway last week. The YZ125 bLucRU has seen some major changes for 2022 and its first for quite some time, nearly every functional part of the engine is new from the cylinder, cylinder head, piston, piston pin, crankcase, exhaust, and much more. In addition to the full renovation of the engine, updates to the chassis and body were thrown at the 2022 model as well. After a full day of testing

Cool factor, looks better than stock, quality craftsmanship.

2022 Honda CRF450R
Overall Review
The 2022 Honda CRF450R is finally here and we had the chance to test the updated machine at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park. The 2021 CRF450R model hit the production floor with a completely new design including a new frame, updated suspension, updated motor characteristics, hydraulic clutch, and a new look overall. However, it was quite noticeable that both the suspension settings and ECU mapping were far from perfect in 2021. New for 2022, Honda came to the table with updated mapping and

Tested: EKS Brand Lucid Goggle
The Good
Protection, field of view, ease of use, looks
The Bad
Red fleece is a tiny bit distracting
Overall Review
Brad Resnick EKS Brand made the leap into the rigid-lens goggle category with its latest goggle, the Lucid. It has a unique but super easy-to-use lens retention system and swapping lenses is a hassle-free operation. The field of view is very large while the goggle isn’t so large that it has helmet fitment issues. The multi-layer foam does a good job of sweat absorption and the wide strap with outriggers holds the goggle firmly against your face. One of my favorite things about the Lucid goggle
