Welcome |
|
|
We
at
Apache
Motorcycles
would
like
to
welcome
you
to
our
September
newsletter.
To
begin
we
would
like
to
announce
that
All
of
our
stores
have
been
officially
renamed
to
help
avoid
confusion.
Apache
Honda,
Champion
Honda,
Extreme
Yamaha,
and
Carefree
Yamaha
will
now
be
known
as
| Apache
Motorcycles,
Phoenix,
Mesa,
Scottsdale,
and
Carefree.
This
is
one
of
many
steps
we
are
taking
to
make
it
easier
for
our
customers.

| ATV
Safety
Institute
e-courses! |
| Learn
all
the
basics
in
the
comfort
of
your
own
home! |
|
The
ATV
Safety
Institute
has
introduced
e-courses
that
are
now
available
for
any
and
all
ATV
riders.
These
free
classes
cover
the
basics
in
ATV
riding
and
are
directed
towards
first
time
riders. |
Courses
The
Courses
are
conveniently
divided
into
three
categories
based
on
age,
adult,
teen,
and
child.
Each
course
successfully
captures
the
attention
of
the
designated
age
group
with
colorful
and
intuitive
games
for
children
to
instructive
videos
for
adults.
 |
The
ATV
Safety
Institute's
primary
goal
is
to
promote
safe
and
responsible
use
of
ATVs,
thereby
reducing
crashes
and
injuries
that
may
result
from
improper
operation
by
the
rider.
This
key
knowledge
saves
lives
and
prevents
careless
accidents.
Overview
While
each
course
is
specific
towards
a
particular
age
group,
the
classes
each
cover
several
important
tips
and
safety
guide
lines.
For
Instance
the
courses
emphasizes
the
importance
of
protective
clothing,
keen
observation,
and
proper
management
of
off-road
vehicles.
The
courses
also
cover
basic
trail
guidelines
and
consideration
to
other
riders.
Key
content
in
the
e-course
consisted
of
basic
riding
instructions
so
necessary
for
first
timers
such
as
going
up
and
down
hills,
shifting,
and
looking
into
turns.
The
videos
were
a
great
help
in
illustrating
all
the
techniques
and
tips
for
a
great
ride! |

Dunlop
has
two
new
tire
models
for
sportbikes:
the
Sportmax
Q2
road
tire,
introduced
as
a
replacement
for
the
Qualifier;
and
the
Sportmax
GP-A
track
tire.
Available
beginning
the
first
week
in
September,
the
Sportmax
Q2
features
Dunlop's
Intuitive
Response
Profile
(IRP)
technology
in
the
rear
tire
for
greater
linear
steering
at
all
lean
angles
and
dual
compound
Multi-Tread
(MT)
|
technology
featuring
a
long-wearing
center
compound
and
stickier
lateral-grip
compound
on
each
shoulder
for
superior
cornering
traction.
It'll
be
offered
in
two
front
and
six
rear
sizes.
How
good
is
the
Q2?
When
tested
at
Virginia
International
Raceway
on
a
GSX-R1000,
it
outperformed
the
Qualifier
by
three
seconds
per
lap
and
achieved
a
maximum
lean
angle
of
52.3
degrees
or
seven
degrees
better
than
the
Qualifier.
Designed
for
club
racing
or
track-day
use
on
600cc
and
1000cc
machines,
the
Sportmax
GP-A
comes
in
a
120/70ZR-17
front
and
190/55ZR-17
rear.
The
rear
tire
is
available
in
soft/medium
and
medium/hard
combinations
to
match
any
track
condition.
|
Designed
with
the
least
amount
of
grooving
the
DOT
allows
for
street-legal
tires,
Michelin's
new
Power
One
tire
is
the
closest
thing
to
a
race
tire
that
the
company
has
ever
built
for
the
road.
|
Three
years
in
development,
the
Power
One
range
is
the
product
of
true
torture
testing,
covering
some
35,000
laps
on
over
30
circuits
around
the
world
under
the
relentless
pace
of
more
than
130
different
test
riders
on
both
production
bikes
and
200-horsepower
race
bikes.
|
Available
in
two
front
and
four
rear
sizes,
the
tire
features
four
all-new
tread
compounds
(two
for
the
front
and
two
for
the
rear)
that
help
to
dramatically
improve
damp/wet
grip,
warm-up
time
and
low
temperature
performance
compared
with
previous
Michelin
tires,
and
tread
grooves
covering
only
5
percent
of
the
tire's
surface
help
maximize
rubber
contact
with
the
track
and
facilitating
lean
angles
approaching
60
degrees.

From
Pirelli,
the
standout
new
product
comes
in
the
form
of
the
Angel
ST
EMS
(extended
mileage
sport)
tire,
designed
to
replace
the
Diablo
Strata
but
offered
for
the
same
price.
|
|
Approved
for
the
Suzuki
Hayabusa
and
Kawasaki
Concours
14,
and
also
to
be
offered
in
fitments
for
bikes
from
Buell
and
Ducati,
the
Angel
ST
set
a
world
record
in
Nardo,
Italy,on
March
15
when
riders
traveled
3,190.8
miles
at
an
average
speed
of
132.9
mph
on
one
set
of
tires
—
something
Pirelli
engineers
say
is
equivalent
to
8,000
to
10,000
miles
on
the
street.

The
marketing
strategy
for
Germany's
Continental
is
to
be
the
lowest
priced
premium
tire
in
an
effort
to
offer
dealers
good
margins
and
consumers
a
quality
product.
"We
don't
sponsor
high-priced
racers
like
Valentino
Rossi,
so
we
spend
our
money
on
R&D,"
says
Greg
Reich,
sales/marketing
manager
for
Continental
Tire
North
America.
Continental's
newest
tires
include
the
ContiRace
Attack
Custom,
Conti
Gelande
Sport
Intermediate,
ContiGo!
and
ContiMotion. |
With
a
rear
tire
size
of
240/40ZR-18
and
a
speed
rating
above
168mph,
the
ContiRace
Attack
Custom
is
designed
for
high-horsepower
custom
sportbikes;
the
Conti
Gelande
Sport
off-road
tire
was
designed
to
provide
optimum
stability,
traction
and
steering
during
braking
and
cornering
thanks
to
its
triangular
positioned
side
knobs;
the
ContiGo!
is
a
general
purpose
sport-touring
cross-ply
tire
perfect
for
updating
older
machines;
and
the
ContiMotion
is
an
economy
sport-touring
radial.

Bridgestone,
which
claims
60
percent
of
the
motorcycles
that
come
from
Japan
roll
on
its
tires,
says
|
its
sales
this
year
are
up
compared
to
2008.
The
six
tires
responsible
for
the
bulk
of
Bridgestone's
business
include
the
BT-016
high-performance
radial,
BT-21
sport-touring
radial,
G851/G850
cruiser
radial,
M403
front/M404
rear
off-road
tires,
the
BT-45
bias-ply
sport-tourer
for
bikes
built
from
the
mid
1980s
to
the
early
1990s,
and
the
S11
for
bikes
built
between
the
early
1970s
and
late
1980s.
While
the
company
is
planning
no
changes
to
its
off-road
tire
line
in
2010
and
not
supporting
motocross
factory
teams
next
year,
Steve
Turner,
a
motorcycle
products
consultant
for
Bridgestone
Firestone
North
American
Tire,
LLC,
says
there
are
two
road
tires
that
dealers
and
consumers
should
watch
for:
the
new
Battlax
BT-003RS
(MSRP:
$169.50-$280.77)
and
the
BT-016
Hypersport.
The
BT-003RS,
the
successor
to
the
BT-002RS
and
BT-090,
is
a
street-tuned
dual
compound
radial
derived
from
the
BT-003
used
by
all
teams
taking
part
in
|
 |
MotoGP.
Designed
for
middleweight
and
large
displacement
supersport
bikes,
and
offered
in
three
front
and
six
rear
sizes,
it
utilizes
steel
belt
construction
in
front
and
rear
tires
for
superior
bump-absorption
and
line-holding,
a
high-grip
center
compound
designed
for
wear-resistance,
and
a
new
"Ultraction"
shoulder
compound
to
exert
optimal
stability
and
traction
in
deep
lean
angles.
