It was a great time last weekend to see DirtWise Instructor and Pro racer Jason Thomas achieve his goal of clinching the Pro XC2 Championship (with still two races remaining) in the 2015 Grand National Cross Country series. Meanwhile this coming weekend our DirtWise Race team member, Drew Higgins, has a 19 point lead in the Expert/AA class going into the last round of the National Enduro series.
NO MORE RACING!!!
Yep, that's right, at the end of this 2015 Race season we will be shutting down the DirtWise Race team, plus the DirtWise "Ready to Race" bike rental program, and instead we will just focus all of our future time and efforts back on our core business of conducting DirtWise Riding schools across the USA and the world. Actually our decision to shut these programs down (which mainly comes from only getting small returns compared to all of the time and effort its takes to do them) was made way back in early January of this year, so essentially we've just been waiting it out until now when it's time for us to start selling everything up. Further down you'll see the info on most of our bikes that we will be now selling off at some very good prices.
Bikes for Sale
Free Shipping anywhere in the U.S.
With our DirtWise/Maxxis/KLIM Race team and DirtWise "Ready to Race" bike rental program now getting shut down, its time for us to clear out all of the bikes that we have. Each bike is in excellent condition, and they all look "on point" as the young whippersnappers say at the moment. They will come completely set up for Offroad racing with all of the products, accessories, and protection equipment (hand guards, skid plates, radiator guards, oversize fuel tank, rear brake rotor protector, etc - valued at $1500) that we put on all of our team bikes, plus fully re-worked suspension by Stillwell Performance valued at an extra $1200. You can also upgrade to a set of the awesome Flexx handlebars for a little extra money! We can deliver or ship these bikes to anywhere in the USA, preferably the East coast though.

2014 KTM 450 four stroke (40 hours) - $5800

Ready to Race
There's only two more GNCC and one more National Enduro events for the year before the "Ready to Race" program gets shut down, so here's your last opportunities to come and be a part of this experience, or to make use of one of our fully prepped bikes if yours isn't going to be fixed in time for the next race. So far in 2015 the DirtWise "Ready to Race" bike rental has been going gangbusters with over 65 offroad enthusiasts from all over the world coming to compete in either the GNCC or National Enduro series on a fully prepped DirtWise race machine which has allowed plenty of them to score podium and top 5 finishes in their respective classes. Visit http://shanewatts.com to see which upcoming event you can attend and do it the easy way. For a cheap $400 we will provide everything for you to go roosting and then walk away at the end of the day with heaps of great memories but not the dirty or broken bike to fix or repair! Contact dirtwise@shanewatts.com to make this happen. Let's go roosting!!!

All of you guys out there that ride a KTM 250/300 two stroke most likely use a carbon fiber pipe guard for protection, just like we do. The good thing with that is that when slamming into something solid your pipe doesn't bend, but the bad thing is that you have a great chance of smashing the expensive exhaust flange on your cylinder because all of the force gets applied to it now - I know because we smashed a few with our Race team riders and I had to buy some new ones! Then I found out about the awesome Trail Tech exhaust flange protector, and for just at $49 you're ready to hammer through whatever you want without busting up your pipe or cylinder. These Trail Tech protectors are a great and essential item for you guys to have on your machine. You can check them out and purchase them here: http://www.trailtech.net/hard-parts/flange-protectors
Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you this Fall either out on the track and trails or at a DirtWise riding school.
