What about the US riders? Everyone relax! Our latest release for the European market is not an exclusive, we already build a very slick slip-on for the US market Nightsters! What makes this one special is a unique baffle that complies with more stringent ECE sound standards. Both versions of this...
Winter is rough for motorcycle people. We push the riding season until we can’t feel our fingers and then reluctantly park our bikes, hook up battery tenders, and stare lovingly at them before turning away with a tear in our eyes. The next several months are often a fever dream of cold temps, snow,...
If you have not already, get caught up with the S&S 100 Day Sportster Throwdown here: https://info.sscycle.com/performance-times/100-day-sportster-throwdown. This will make a lot more sense if you do.
So here’s the premise, it’s cold and snowy in the fly-over states where S&S Cycle is located, so...
Winter is rough for motorcycle enthusiasts, particularly for those of us in the snowy states. Fuel stabilizers and battery tenders are the death knell of the riding season, but not necessarily the end of the fun. For many of us here at S&S, winter is “build season,” time to refresh, tune up, and in...
Jon and Dave bring in Matty to talk Bikes, Blue and BBQs, crashing Dynas, and an unnatural love for Irons. Jon announces the 100-Day Sportster Throwdown, calls out Dave and video guy Cody, and Dave fixates on Autocrossing a KRX1000. Somewhere in there, they launch the Winter Power Package...
The S&S Performance Times returns after a semi-short sabbatical. Episode number twenty covers the wind-down of the 2022 race season, Jon's battle with Covid, really big big bore kits, and possibly a winter bike build throwdown as well as autocrossing a turbo KRX. Stay tuned for more!
We kind of fell in love with the KRX when it was originally launched in 2020. One of the most durable and sorted 1000cc SxS in the space. Massive trailing arms and just about every part of the suspension is on par with the RZR Pro XP, the factory wheel/tire package is solid, and even the stance is...
Brainerd International Raceway in Northern Minnesota is no stranger to top-level racing, with a drag strip, two road courses, and even a jet ski lake tucked into the facility. What is new to BIR this year was King of the Baggers, arguably the biggest, wildest, two-wheeled race series in recent...
What is Build Train Race? Why is S&S involved? Are the racers really all girls?
These are just some of the questions we’ve been asked regarding our involvement in the BTR program. The brainchild of Royal Enfield’s US marketing guru, Bree Poland, the race series is far more than, well, a race...
Jon gives us a lesson on the S&S Stealth Air Cleaner and launches new camo gear. Dave falls in love with the new HD ST, but still hasn't finished his Dyna build. Matty gets pelted in Lima and the guys sign him up to stay in a teepee in Sturgis.
It's no secret that we love riding and encourage our entire company to participate in the annual Ride To Work Day. In light of current fuel prices, we've been forced to cut the Ride to Work Day budget, and the marketing team is doing it on Groms this year!
Jon and Dave are back at it with episode 18 of the Performance Times. They cover a crap ton of racing, donate Strider balance bikes to a local school and decide fuel costs may force them to ride Groms to work for the foreseeable future.
American Road Racing has a unique vibe, a very specific soundtrack, and until recently, a fairly purist approach to motorcycle competition. Across the last few decades, US-made V-Twins have come and gone from this upper echelon of two-wheeled racing, rarely drawing significant attention and...
