Tom and Mike from our sales team went to Las Vegas last month for one of the motorsport industry’s premier trade shows. This multi-day event brought together dealers and exhibitors from across the world, and provided us with an opportunity to stay in touch with manufacturers and keep current with new products. Tom shares some highlights below:
First things first: to kick off the event, Mike and I slapped one of our famous swing-arm stickers way up high on the “stick-it” board before anyone else, to assert our dominance at the event!
On the trade show floor, we visited the booths of all our favorite manufacturers and vendors. Suzuki still does not have plans for a fuel-injected DR650, but the Triumph TF250X we saw on display was something special. The details on that bike have been planned out flawlessly, and we’re excited to see more of them out and about.
Sadly, our first day was cut short when the battery on one of the (many) e-bikes on display caught fire, and we all had to evacuate. However, we did get to hit up Fremont Street, which is always a blast!
On our second day, we met with more vendors. We checked in with Russel, our new rep from Turn14. He’s an awesome guy, and helped us get some of our ProTaper products sorted out, so that we can get them on their way to you.
We also met with Haley from onX, who makes an off-road GPS mapping app that lets you easily discover nearby trails, plan & build rotes, and track your trips. We’ll be partnering with them to bring you discounted access to their app.
One last highlight was meeting with Vesrah, who specializes in gaskets, brake pads, and other wear items. We’re excited to start carrying more of their products.
All in all, it was a great trip! Check out more photos below:
