a c c e s s o r i e s 2013 SHOT racewear imminent Admant Industries Pty Ltd has announced that free 2013 SHOT race gear will soon be heading to Australia, direct from France, for dealer stockists’ team riders (conditions apply). The distributor says SHOT race gear is more than premium motocross wear, as SHOT manufactures high-grade protective attitude, fusing maximum durability with visual dynamics. SHOT outfits riders with distinctive, top-quality apparel, all geared to keeping those riders looking good and protected in an onslaught of dirt. Bred for the podium and engineered for excellence, SHOT says it uses only the best materials to ensure superior comfort, modern style and ultimate resistance to the hardships of competitive off-road riding and MX racing.

It’s also added a new, lightweight 110/85-19 size for 250cc four-strokes, for improved handling and agility. The MX Mid Hard 554 replaces the MX Mid Hard 454 as Pirelli’s motocross racing tyre for maximum performance on mid-hard terrain. Pirelli says the Scorpion MX Mid Hard 554 is a motocross racing tyre with new tread patterns for maximum performance on mid-hard terrain, with a higher level of traction available as the track’s surface packs down during a race. The tyre performs at its best on intermediate surfaces such as grass or dry ground and medium-hard compact dirt and stones – conditions often experienced at everyday off-road tracks. Pirelli says its increased performance consistency over long races, a new dedicated compound with outstanding grip to control sliding, and a special linked layout to resist knob tearing all represent major improvements over the existing Scorpion MX Mid Hard 454 it replaces. BIKEBusiness b u s i n e s s t o b u s i n e s s 14 July - August 2012 The compound of the Mid Hard 554 uses a new blend of synthetic polymers with the latest generation of resins and heat stabilisers to guarantee increased grip on hard terrain, says Pirelli, balanced by consistent performance in longer races. This is then combined with natural rubber and silica for a very robust compound, capable of transferring power to the ground without overheating or losing knob stiffness at high temperatures. Pirelli says the resistance and firmness of the compound permits extended use on mid-hard terrain, while affording consistent wear and minimising knob tearing. The Mid Hard 554 tyre has a multiply carcass for maximum absorption of forces during jumps and over bumps, and Pirelli says the weight of the tyre has been reduced to improve handling and agility. Along with 110/90-19 and 120/80- 19 rear sizes, a new and innovative 110/85-19 size rear MX Mid Hard 554 tyre has been specifically developed for MX2 races and 250cc four-stroke engines, where a 10 per cent reduction of unsprung mass brings improved handling by decreasing inertial forces. Pirelli says this new size is in line with the latest motocross trends and developments, with attention to weight reduction as a primary way of improving agility and acceleration, allowing superior performance for the less-powerful 250cc four-stroke models. The new Scorpion MX Mid Hard 554 is available in the following sizes: front – 80/100-21 and 90/100-21; rear – 110/85- 19, 110/90-19 and 120/80-19.
