TWO-STROKE SPOTLIGHT: TWO-STROKE SHOWS SIGN OF AFFECTION

“Hey guys. Been a subscriber since the early ’80s. I has been a two-stroke loyalist all my life. Not to long ago I went to put a new piston in my YZ250 and this is the response I got from her. You can say we have a good relationship. And to think I considered a four-stroke.” –Pete from Ottawa, Canada.

WHAT THE MXA WRECKING CREW IS UP TO

Short of masks? Twin Air has you covered!

This is a replica of the Husky TC300 that Jason Anderson didn’t race at the 2019 Red Bull Straight due to an injury. A lucky Dennis Stapleton gets to race this beast if the World Two-Stroke National ever happens.

She sure is a beauty.

Dennis sure looked comfortable on his new ride.

Dennis Stapleton (184 ) and Josh Mosiman (12) both getting some testing time on MXA’s new test bikes.

We built a replica of the Pro Circuit YZ125 that Ryan Villopoto raced last year at the 125cc Dream races that were held at the Nationals. This thing ripped!

Josh Mosiman was exploding the berms on the tiddler.

We used many of the GYTR parts that we got from Europe on this build as well. Why, because Villopoto ran the GYTR blackbox on his bike and they look cool.

We ran the Bridgestone X20 tires with MX Champ wheels on the YZ125.

Jody Weisel making sure everything runs smoothly at the test track as usual.

MITCH PAYTON’S “THE GREAT RACE” TEE

A new shirt has landed in the Pro Circuit warehouse and the boss himself, Mitch Payton, is displayed on the back design. Printed on a comfortable blank with quality inks, The Great Race Tee will definitely have hearts racing for the ones who enjoy an occasional car burnout as Mitch lays down the power in his old Anaheim Husqvarna van. This tee was originally handed out in limited quantities on the day Mitch received the Edison Dye Lifetime Achievement Award, but now customers have the chance to score one as well.
