The Latest Breaking News from RideApart

King of the Hammers is, for lack of a better word, batshit. For those who've never heard of it, it's an off-road race in California's Johnson Valley, and marries rock crawling with flat-out open desert racing. There's nothing else on the planet like King of the Hammers. 

Airoh’s a helmet brand you may have never heard of. But chances are, you will soon enough, as the brand has set up shop in the US. The Italian manufacturer sort of sits in the middle of the road when it comes to price, making affordable lids with tech and…

I've been fortunate to ride a lot of very fast, very sketchy machines. From turbocharged two-stroke backcountry snowmobiles, to superbikes with over 200 horsepower, and everything in between, speed and horsepower don't usually phase me. I once drove a Bugatti Chiron and allegedly saw 186 mph in less than a mile. 

Royal Enfield is a vibe. It’s a brand that dares to ignore numbers on a spec sheet, and instead, focus on the more intangible side of motorcycling—stuff like emotion, experience, and self-expression. Pretty much all of Royal Enfield’s bikes are embodiments of this, and judging from the success the brand’s…

Last year, the English-speaking motorcycle internet was awash in a sea of "what on earth is CFMoto thinking?" Why, you might ask? Because that's when a patent application that the OEM had applied for back in 2022 was published, and that patent appeared to be one for a seatbelt and…

"Loud pipes save lives" is a divisive statement, even in the motorcycle community. I believe, under certain circumstances, loud pipes could actually prevent some accidents and potentially death.

There's a danger in going too fast if you're wrenching, and I'm not just talking about making an accidental extra blood sacrifice to the garage gods. 

Few motorcycles have achieved the legendary status of the Honda Gold Wing. It’s taken the heavyweight tourer five decades to become this good; long after first hitting the scene way back in 1975. Honda even goes as far as saying that it invented the entire touring category with the Gold…

One of the first years we had our Can-Am Maverick X3, I took my wife and three kids into the woods in the middle of winter. We'd already run a few snowy trails that season and were heading to a spot we could take the kids sledding deep in the…

If you're a Suzuki Hayabusa or Katana fan, and you've been wanting the perfect wristwatch to show everyone how much you love your Hayabusa (or Katana), then Suzuki's about to make you very happy.

There are wild videos, and then there's what you're about to watch. We've seen superbikes converted, more or less, into off-road capable bikes from plenty of channels. But it's much rarer to see a supersport or superbike engine swapped into a dirt bike's frame because it's much harder to make…
