Shockdoctor Eject Helmet Removal System

Shannon Bushman XXXoffroad.com – Dealer Expo ’10 I’ve seen it before, a rider crashes and his buddies just can’t wait to jerk his helmet off as he lies unconscious.

CFMoto’s New UTV Z6 600EFI

Shannon Bushman XXXOffroad.com – Dealer Expo ’10 CFMoto is serious.  They now have two UTVs.  This year CFMoto introduced the swanky new Z6 600CC EFI sport UTV.  Now it would too easy to say this looks a lot like a Polaris RZR.  Certainly they have taken plenty of design cues from the RZRs success but this […]

UTVTech Pay Attention to the RZR

Shannon Bushman – XXXOffroad.com – DealerExpo 2010 I really like the UTVTech guys.  They can tell you exactly why they do everything they do to the smallest detail.
