At the recent USA Championship presented by realMotocross at Cycle Ranch we had a lot of incredible talent show up and race. Whether from right around the corner or 100 miles away, everyone who raced gave it a great effort. During the event, a few riders really caught our eye and one of them was Vann Martin.

Vann and his brother Parker ride and race together and dominated the USA Championship. We caught up with Vann and wanted to see what makes him so fast…

How did you do in the USA Championship this year?

Team will campaign on SMS Racing-prepared KTM 250 SX-F race bikes in the East Region

HOUSTON (December 4, 2012) – Last season, SMS Racing KTM dove into the spotlight and intensity of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, for the very first time with Shea Racing. The risk paid dividends as the team notched a 10th place finish at the Atlanta round and competed in a total of six main events in front of capacity crowds and international TV audiences. Shea Racing is proud to announce that SMS Racing will return as a team partner. Team PassportWorld.com/Shea Racing/National Switchgear powered by SMS Racing KTM will focus on the 2013 AMA Supercross East Region series, kicking off on Saturday, February 16, 2013.

Team PassportWorld.com/Shea Racing/National Switchgear will compete on SMS Racing-prepared KTM 250 SX-F race bikes. SMS Racing proved during the 2012 season that it could develop a competitive and reliable race bike for the ultimate demands of an AMA Supercross course. Coupled with the incredible team graphics supplied by DeCal Works, riders outfitted in FLY Racing gear and exhaust by DRD, this team is sure to be competitive during the upcoming season.

“The entire SMS Racing crew is proud to be a part of the Shea Racing team again for 2013,” said Brian Storrie, owner of Denton, Texas-based SMS Racing. “With the knowledge gained last season and the new 2013 KTM 250 SX-F motor that is 7-hp more stock, we are excited to see how much faster we can make the 2013 SMS motors.”

Shea Racing has participated in the East Region AMA Supercross events since 2009, expanding its team in 2011 with support from National Switchgear. In 2012, SMS Racing came on board to supply the “Ready to Race” KTM 250 SX-F race bikes including suspension and motor modifications.

The team is in the process of finalizing agreements with athletes for the 2013 Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250cc Lites East Region class. Fans can expect an announcement in the near future.

“I’m very excited to have Brian Storrie and SMS Racing on board again for 2013,” said Tim Shea, team manager. “Brian’s knowledge and dedication are unsurpassed. He spends countless hours on the race motors and suspension. We’re already way ahead of last season with our settings. I’m really looking forward to the 2013 AMA Supercross series with Brian’s SMS Racing KTM’s.”

Team PassportWorld.com/Shea Racing/National Switchgear powered by SMS Racing KTM will again travel and pit in a full-size semi rig that was outfitted for its AMA Supercross team prior to the 2011 season. The eye-catching purple and yellow team hauler will travel to nine rounds – all eight East Region Lites rounds and the Las Vegas final – and will be an attraction with the team’s fan-friendly activities.

Team PassportWorld.com/Shea Racing/National Switchgear powered by SMS Racing KTM will make its 2013 season debut at the Monster Energy AMA Supercross East Region round opener on Saturday, February 16, 2013 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Revolver™ Variable Rate Throttle Kits

Courtesy of Motion Pro

Motion Pro manufactures the Revolver throttle, an innovative throttle system that sets the standard for adaptability and function. Professional racers, both on and off road, talk about throttle control and traction management to meet changing riding conditions and to control acceleration and tire spin. This is an important part of bike control, and if a rider can master this skill it becomes easier to get the best performance from their machine.

Experience is the best way to improve throttle control, but throttle sensitivity can be changed mechanically to suit riding conditions and rider preferences to great advantage no matter what your level of skill. For quite a few years experienced riders would simply install a throttle tube from another model motorcycle that would shorten or lengthen the twist of their throttle. But this was always a makeshift modification, and because the throttle housing was not designed to fit the tube, the cable angles were incorrect and the throttle would feel rough and notchy and cable wear was accelerated too.

Now, with the new Revolver Throttle kit by Motion Pro, you can tune your throttle to your desired performance settings, not unlike tuning your suspension or motor. The Revolver throttle includes 4 different size reels, in 5 mm diameter increments from 35 mm to 50 mm. This allows a user to change the twist of their throttle in approximately 10 degree steps to perfectly fit their riding style and conditions. The 50 mm Revolver reel is significantly larger than anything else commonly available and provides the fastest throttle rate. The Revolver cable elbows, part of our patent pending design, automatically adapt to the cable angle changes caused by the different reel sizes, ensuring buttery smooth feel and sensitivity. The cable mounting points on each throttle reel feature an innovative design that allows reels changes without readjusting the cables. No other throttle incorporates all of these innovative features.

The Revolver Throttle is offered as a complete kit, tailored to each model motorcycle. Revolver Throttle Kits include the Revolver throttle with 35, 40, 45, and 50 mm reels, Motion Pro black vinyl Revolver throttle cables, and a set of our completely redesigned medium density Motion Pro Road Control or Dirt Control grips. Motion Pro Revolver throttle cables are hand made with high quality materials and include tool-less billet aluminum adjusters that allow a user to fine tune the cable adjustments without having to pick up any tools. A complete list of spare or replacement parts is also available separately. We also offer an accessory unbreakable Titan throttle tube for motocross and off road riders that need an throttle tube that can survive a hard crash and still get you to the finish line (p/n 01-1172).

The Revolver throttle has been in careful development for several years and has been thoroughly tested and proven. Whether you are a sport bike track day rider or racer looking for a more aggressive throttle turn, or an off road rider looking for a throttle that is fast on the track and sensitive on the trails, the Revolver Throttle is the solution for you. Revolver Throttle Kits retail at $154.99, with all the quality and innovation that you expect from Motion Pro. For more information and a full list of applications visit us on the web at www.motionpro.com or call us at 650-594-9600. Motion Pro products are also available from your local dealers.
