FTA stands for “Full Throttle Adrenaline” and it is an offshoot apparel brand of the ever-growing FXR. FTA logos have been seen throughout different FXR gear designs for the last few years, and we even wore a set of FTA gear in our 2023 MXA 450 Shootout, on the 2023 YZ450F, but it wasn’t until this past weekend at the Spring Creek National, where FXR was the title sponsor, that they officially launched this new brand.

Rather than muscle power or an electric battery, the LS1 lift stand uses leverage to get your bike up in the air. Matrix committed to making the strongest, most stable, easiest-to-use, step-on bike stand by over-building the LS1. The center post has a jumbo diameter to lessen wiggles, plus there are wide rubber feet on the base. Of all the step-on stands that MXA has tested, the Matrix LS1 is by far the best of the breed. The engineer who configured the foot-pedal linkage hit the leverage ratio on the head. The retail price is $189.95 at www.matrixracingproducts.com or (661) 253-1592.

The Dozer is an upgrade of the original Rig 9800 design. It features a separate, PVC-lined boot compartment, a soft-lined helmet pocket, and a main compartment to organize and protect your gear.

The Dozer gear bag is a brand-new addition to the Ogio lineup, and it’s inspired by the highly regarded Rig 9900 bag. The Dozer is the first bag we’ve seen that uses a three-wheel design all in a row in the back. Like all of Ogio’s wheels, they are heavy-duty and made for long trips through the airport and walks through the rocky pits at the track. The extra wheel helps stabilize the bag when rolling over rough terrain and obstacles.

Compared to the popular Rig 9800 gear bag, the Dozer is slightly larger, noticeably lighter and much simpler. The 9800 is the most popular gear bag on the market for good reason, it’s ultra-durable, a great size for everyday riders and it’s easy to travel with. However, it doesn’t have separate compartments and it’s not as big as the Dozer. The Dozer compartments add up to 8200 cubic inches, while the Rig 9800 is 7500 cubic inches. The Dozer weighs 10.75 pounds while the Rig 9800 weighs 14.2. For more information go to www.ogiopowersports.com or (800) 326- 6325. The retail price is $299.99.

Works Connection’s new aluminum offset footpeg mounts have the same great features as their titanium mounts, but at a lower retail price ($199.95 versus $349.95). The all-new aluminum mounts share the same offset (7mm down and 5mm back) as Works Connection’s titanium mounts, but that’s the only thing that stays the same. Works Connection’s all-new aluminum mounts are re-engineered,and material was added in different places on the mounts to ensure strength and longevity.

The Yamaha YZ250F/YZ450F’s cockpit is cramped. The distance from seat to pegs is shorter than on other bikes, which requires more effort to transition from sitting to standing. Works Connection’s aluminum offset footpeg mounts open up the cockpit by moving the pegs down 7mm and back 5mm. Plus, they are 42% lighter than stock mounts. The kit consists of (2) aluminum footpeg mounts (left and right), (2) Titanium pins, (2) Stainless washers and (2) Cotter pins. You can use any Yamaha compatible footage you prefer with Works Connection’s footpeg mounts—stock or aftermarket. The retail price is $199.95 at www.worksconnection.com.

The stock OEM shock linkage on the newer KX models tends to be stiffer at the beginning of the stroke and softer at the end of the stroke. With Pro Circuit’s new KX250/450 linkage system, it’s the complete opposite. The stroke is plusher at the beginning and stiffer at the end. This lessens the need for stiffer high-speed valving.
