Update: e/t Supported AMA Pro Supersport R6.

Team Motorcycle Superstore / Devon McDonough had a great weekend at the WERA Vegas round a couple of weekends ago and we had the pleasure of joining them.  This is Devon's first season in the AMA Pro Supersport class and Evol Tech's as well, so we all wanted to take full advantage of this early race weekend to test and tune.  Devon, the team, and the machinery all performed flawlessly -- we're all that much more excited as we approach Daytona!

ET-X Rearsets for R6: First Race Weekend.

In preparation for his inaugural AMA season, Devon McDonough and his ET-X equipped Yamaha R6 participated in the recent WERA Las Vegas weekend.  Devon, team, and machinery had a great weekend and we're proud to say the rearsets performed flawlessly for him -- the grip provided by our burly footpegs especially stood out to Devon.  

The team brought both of their Motorcycle Superstore sponsored Yamaha R6s, but focused their attention primarily on one of them.  Even with no prior experience at this track, Devon's times dropped consistently from session to session, and he finished all of his races well ahead of his starting positions deep in the grid.

In addition to lots of pix we took a ton of video, which we're currently editing and will post soon -- stay tuned!

This is not Chuck's first rodeo.

Time to grid-up!

Ah, the "hurry up and wait" game.

Looking pretty good after a three day race weekend.

ET-X Rearsets for Triumph 675: First Fitment.

We fitted up the first set of Triumph ET-X Rearsets at the WERA Vegas round.  Here they are, in their middle foot placement setting.  Note the shifer arrangement, with the unique Evol Technology case-mounted shifter pivot.


 

Thanks, Chris Burgess, for all your input and feedback over the course of the weekend.

We're currently developing more Triumph 675 hardware -- stay tuned!
