Michael Esdaile has the tricky task of deciding on one of two British lovelies.

53 McIntosh Suzuki Replica

When this McIntosh Suzuki was started, it was 25 years since the late Dr Rodger Freeth had laid waste to the best big-bore four-stroke talent in Australia to win the 1982 Arai 500 kilometre endurance race at Bathurst. Freeth’s performance that day left everyone trailing in his wake. Even second placed Kiwi Peter Byers on a Honda CB1100R was two laps behind…

At the dawn of motorcycle time, all bikes were ‘dirt’ bikes. But, as roads improved, so too did the desire to ride faster on rougher terrain. It didn’t take long for the modern dirt bike to evolve…

Adventure is in the eye of the beholder but the Pukemanu Adventure Ride plants it squarely at the wheel of the rider.

Welcome to the June issue of Kiwi Rider.

This is something of an occasion. 30 years ago, an upstart publication slithered through the mud and onto the Kiwi dirt-biking scene. That publication was Kiwi Dirt Rider. Yes folks, the dirt side of KR is 30 years old this month! We’re generally not too into blowing our own trumpet but we think it’s justified. As far as we know - and we’ve asked a few people in the know too – KR is the only magazine to have been on the market non-stop without being bought or sold for 30 years; and that’s any market, not just in New Zealand.

So, we’d like to thank you for putting up with us over the years (we mean ‘Vege’ specifically),

through thick and thin. The original team consisted of three young reprobates - Pete ‘Vege’ McPhee, John Nicholson and Shaun Stanbridge – who, after riding dirt bikes and drinking copious amounts of beer, thought it might be a bit of ‘fun’ to have their own bike magazine. Three months later they did.

The rest, as they say, is history. To mark the occasion John Nicholson has taken a look at the last three decades and charted the ups and downs of dirt biking here in NZ as well as the riders, bikes and events that mattered.

As Vege says, “It’s been one hell of a ride!”.

So, keep an eye on our Facebook page – we might just organise a party…

Enjoy the mag.

Ventura Bike-Pack System new models Ventura’s evergreen bike pack system is an easy-to-use luggage rack and pack set-up. The range of racks are designed to customfit to most models, and accept the Ventura packs which should carry most gear requirements you’ll ever need.

The system is easy to install, and designed to work as well with either a pillion or a solo rider aboard.

Racks have recently been introduced to suit some newlylaunched models including the Aprilia RSV-4 Factory, RSV-4 R (’09 –’14), Aprilia Tuono V4 (’11–’14), Hyosung EX-IV (GD250, 2014), KTM 1290 and the SuperDuke R (2014, pictured).

KEITI Protective Tank Pads Keiti Protective Tank Pads are designed to work with the design and colour of various motorcycle models. We’re told they’re manufactured using high-quality imported vinyl that’s effective under a wide range of temperatures from -10ºC to +80: damn near boiling point.

Strong adhesion should ensure the pads won’t lift or peel off, while UV-resistant silkscreen printing is used to prevent fading in bright sunlight. Finally, we’re told an exclusively formulated non-yellowing resin and 3D gel layer assure durability and scratch resistance for these heat, humidity and water resistant pads.

Metzeler Sportec™ M7RR Metzeler has introduced its allnew SPORTEC™ M7 RR, a new supersport tyre developed from the brand’s involvement in road races such as the Isle of Man TT. The company says this tyre was designed to deliver high levels of handling and safety and ensure optimal performance even in the difficult situations such as wet, bumpy and dirty tarmac.

The tyre’s profile combined with a high stiffness structure is designed with extremely agile handling in mind, while 100 per cent silica compounds and a new tread pattern are aimed at enhanced grip on cold and wet roads.

Metzeler claims an impressive extended mileage is possible thanks to use of a dual compound on the rear tyre in conjunction with its Interact™ Technology.

NEO Sahara Jacket The all-new Sahara sport styled jacket is designed as a true fourseason jacket. The aim is that no matter what Mother Nature serves up, you’ll always be comfortable and protected.

Its outer construction uses polyester 600D PU with a nylon 1680D PU coating reinforcement, plus polyester flow-through mesh panels for summer comfort.

Unzip it to find a comfort mesh interior lining and a detachable waterproof membrane, plus a detachable thermal lining, all aimed at making this jacket more versatile.

The Sahara includes CE elbow and shoulder protectors plus a foam back protector, tension control arm straps, an adjustable waist and a rear zip to connect it to your trousers.

Hiflo Racing oil filters Their distributor says the new range of Hiflofiltro RC racing oil filters have been developed to meet the rigorous demands of top level race use, while also being capable of everyday duties. The aim was to deliver unsurpassed performance via features such as a heavy-duty steel canister, a 17mm cross-drilled nut to enable easy installation and removal, and lock wiring for race use. Apparently these filters use an advanced filtration media designed to deliver optimum filtration and improved oil flow. A rubber-coated relief valve aims at perfect sealing and the filters are designed to be compatible with all oil types. We’re told Hiflofiltro filters are the only TÜV certified oil filters, which should ensure the highest levels of quality, performance and vehicle compatibility. The range covers late-model road bikes.

RST Raptor 2 Gloves The Raptor 2 is designed as a high value full-leather waterproof and breathable touring glove, with the added protection of a carbon fibre knuckle and Powergrip on the palm and fingers for security.

Manufactured from premium grade-A aniline cowhide, this glove uses a Sinaqua waterproof and breathable membrane and 3M Thinsulate lining. Double wrist and cuff closure should ensure a secure fit, while safety is assisted by employing a double layer of leather in the palm area, and the use of carbon fibre to help protect the knuckles. Silicone ‘powergrip’ on the fingers and palm helps create a more secure grip, further assisted by pre-curved fingers that have been out-stitched, and include finger joint protection.

GIVI 3D604 ‘TANKLOCK’ TANK BAG New to the Givi range of ‘Tanklock’ click-on tank bags is the 3D604, a 15-litre tank bag thermoformed in EVA polyester, laminated 1000D and PU. Forget the old magnets and straps bags, once you’ve bought the mounting ring to suit your bike’s fuel cap type and fitted it, it’s just a matter of aligning the bag to the ring, and pressing down until you hear it click. A red lever on the base dismounts it. Should be a doddle.

This bag is expandable and features an internal pocket with smartphone holder window to suit 79x142mm phones, a removable tablet holder suitable for an iPad Mini, a rain cover, handle, and detachable shoulder strap.

Interphone F5MC The Interphone F5MC is designed to connect riders on up to four bikes, travelling as much as 1.3km apart. We’re told it’s among the most feature-rich devices sold for a biker’s communication and entertainment, and has been designed to meet the expectations of those demanding the best.

As such it’s geared around multiple devices, including your mobile phone, A2DP Bluetooth stereo, FM radio with RDS, wire connectivity to an iPod/MP3 player and much more.

We’re told a TTS full vocal menu help, and easy-to-access and intuitive button operations, make this your perfect motorcycling sidekick, whether you’re travelling alone, or with others.

Macna Geo 2 Jacket The Geo 2 is a refinement of the popular Macna Geo, still using a three-layer system with a separately detachable waterproof membrane and thermo liner. The set-up is designed for yearround all-season use, with extra ventilation for warm temperatures provided by a ‘summer comfort system’, which lets you remove the front portion to up airflow through a mesh frontage, with air flowing out of vents in the sleeves.

The jacket includes CE armour for protection in the shoulders and elbows, and uses ‘Superfabric’ on high-impact areas.

A cuff strap tightens the cuff in one movement, a CC1 collar hides the summer collar under an outer, waterproof collar and a click puller locks the zip puller in place so it doesn’t flap about.

Proactive riders can also buy a detachable Vision Vest, and can also add a Vision LED light to a Velcro patch on the rear of the jacket’s collar.

Size: S to 2XL for grey or taupe, S to 3XL in black Price: $549 Distributor: Darbi Accessories

Interphone F3MC The Interphone F3MC is a riderto-passenger wireless intercom, but there’s more to it than keeping your pillion happy. It also delivers Bluetooth hands-free wireless communication via your mobile phone, and can transmit audio instructions from motorcycle GPS units.

We’re assured the two Bluetooth units are easily installed on any helmet, and are accessed via logical and functional controls.

Perhaps more vital given it’s now autumn, the Interphoen F3MC is designed to be fully waterproof, as well as resistant to impacts and dust.

Price: Single unit $199.

Macna Savage Jacket The Macna Savage is a waterproof all-season jacket for men that Macna promises will provide exceptional comfort and protection. The distributor says Macna motorcycle jackets deliver innovative features, attention to detail, excellent fit, superior comfort, stellar protection, and safety features designed to make them stand out from the crowd.

The C Touch Classic, a Polyamide 500d material, provides medium abrasion resistance with the look and feel of cotton used with a two-layer system that includes a detachable thermo liner.

There’s some collar adjustment, air panels in the chest and back for ventilation, and CE protection at shoulders and elbows.

Laminated reflective patches at the side, as well as the upper front and back, are aimed at improving your visibility, though you can also buy a separate detachable Vision Vest.

Size: M to 3XL in suede taupe and suede black.

DELTRAN BATTERY TENDER LITHIUM BATTERIES Deltran Battery Tender has launched a new line of Lithium Iron Phosphate (Life PO4) batteries it says deliver extremely high output. We’re told they’re up to 80 per cent lighter than lead acid equivalents, yet deliver five times their battery life. They use a quad terminal configuration, can be mounted in any direction and are ready to go right out of the box.

NEO Rebel Jacket The retro-styled NEO Rebel leather jacket promises style, comfort and protection in spades.

We’re told the jacket’s outer uses high-quality genuine cowhide leather, and the jacket also features reinforced shoulders, a polyester mesh comfort lining, a detachable thermal lining and CE elbow and shoulder protection plus a foam back protector. It also delivers an adjustable waist and rear zipper for attachment to your trousers.

Schuberth C3 Pro helmet Schuberth designed the C3 Pro as the only premium flip-up that performs as a sports helmet.

Available in white, gloss black or matte black, it’s compact and comes in two helmet shell sizes.

It’s also light, at around 1570g including sun visor and antennae.

Wind tunnel development led to a helmet designed to be pendulumneutral even at high speeds, with outstanding aerodynamic properties promised even at over 160kph. And then there are the acoustics. Partly thanks to its acoustic collar, at 100kph the measurable noise at your ear reaches 82dB(A) – and Schuberth says this is one of the quietest helmets in the world. That’ll come in useful if you plan to test its two integrated antennae, designed for increased range and better FM radio reception.

What else? Ah yes, Schuberth says the helmet is comfy too, thanks to a lining using stuff like Coolmax, Interpower and Thermocool.

EBC V-Pad EBC V-Pads brake pads use a new formula that contains over 30 per cent copper by weight. The aim was to construct a longer lasting pad, that’s claimed as the world’s first semi-sintered pad to deliver powerful braking and longer wear life comparable with fully sintered pads.

A new heat fusion process is aimed at bonding the V-Pad compound under heat and pressure (similar to the full sintering process) to allow the addition of copper and carbon particles that should extend the V-Pad’s useful life aboard your bike.

We’re told V-Pads combine the long life typical of a fully sintered pad with the low brake disc abrasion (low rotor galling) features of an organic pad, so they should be ideal for all types of hardened or non-hardened brake rotor material.

V-Pads are fully TUV tested and German KBA approved, but are not designed for any form of track use.

IPONE SYNTHESIS 2 OIL Ipone says its Synthesis 2 is a high-performance syntheticbased lubricant for two-stroke engines that’s been specially developed for intensive use, and to be compatible with all types of petrol.

A dispenser integrated in the can allows you to directly measure the percentage of oil you need, and it’ll colour the mix red to show the lubricant has been added.

Synthesis 2 allows you to reduce the percentage of mix, so it should prove particularly economical while offering excellent performance and a somewhat unexpected bonus — we’re told it’s available with a strawberry scent as an option. That should confuse the competition…

DG Lift Stand DG-2051-R This H-design lift stand with damper should make lifting your bike up so much easier.

Its lightweight design kept transportation in mind, and it’s a must-have at this price.

DG 2091 Dirt Guide Scissor lift stand This is a new and improved Scissor Lift with a hand release valve, and was designed to lift your motocross bike to a comfortable work height. This means no more working on your knees, so there’s a foot pedal to raise the stand to any height you desire, from 370mm to 900mm off the ground.

Made from a heavy-duty powdercoated steel frame, with a large oil drain hole and a gas-resistant rubber-top platform measuring 410 by 346mm, its maximum specifications promise a lifting capacity of 450kg, so this lift is billed as ready for any MX garage.

A large safety pin with variable settings should make for extra insurance while the lift is under load, and once you’re done, just turn the hand release valve to lower the stand.

Pirelli Scorpion MX Mid Soft 32 Pirelli’s Scorpion MX Mid Soft 32 is designed for soft to medium terrain, i.e. light mud, loose loam and soil. The aim was to achieve increased heating resistance in race conditions and reduced weight without compromising on the stability and cornering behaviour imparted by the special polyester carcass.

V-shaped knobs are designed to improve braking stability and cornering side grip, with the aim being consistent high performance in severe racing conditions. What backs up these claims is a world-class competition pedigree — Pirelli’s tallied 60 MX World Championship titles and the 2014 NZ MX1 & MX2 titles with this tyre.

EBC XC Rotor Brake Disc EBC says its XC Floating MC rotors are the lightest you can buy, and will eliminate all your vibration problems while lasting longer than conventional rotors that use round button technology.

Both designs reduce weight by using a contoured, lighter-weight profile, with a further 300g lost by using only six drive buttons.

EKS Brand GOX Limited XXXX Goggles The GOX Limited XXXX Goggle is a recent addition to the EKS Brand range, and features a lightweight urethane-blend frame designed to deliver just the right amount of flex so it should conform to different face shapes.

Each goggle uses a four-layer face-foam construction backed with a moisture-wicking fleece lining aimed at providing the best anti-drip sweat protection available.

The standard mirrored lens is constructed from polycarbonate material, and features integrated tear-off posts, plus a scratch- and fog-resistant coating, and we’re assured it can be easily replaced.

An adjustable, double buckle woven strap is silicone backed for what could be the ultimate in strap placement and hold on the rider’s helmet.

Bel-Ray silicone spray Bel-Ray Silicone Detailer & Protectant Spray is designed as a premium product specially formulated to provide what’s billed as a spectacular finish to all plastic and metal surfaces.

It’s designed to resist the attraction of dust and dirt on the surface of parts, and is formulated with inert chemicals that will not react with paint, metals or plastics, while still binding well to surfaces. Indeed, Bel-Ray promises it will tenaciously hold onto surfaces without running off, yet you can easily remove it after use — it will not persist after you’ve properly washed it off.

MO-94 is designed to prevent dirt adhesion and drive out excess water to keep rust and corrosion at bay. It isn’t just for bikes, motorcycles or cars either, we’re assured it works on just about anything. Whether you’ve got a squeaky door hinge, a rusty lock or a bolt that you just can’t turn, MO-94 could be all you need.

Metzeler Tourance Next TYRES Metzeler’s Tourance Next uses a dual-compound rear tread we’re told was derived from the Roadtec Z8 Interact street tyre to improve cornering and wet-weather performance, without sacrificing mileage. The front tyre uses a mono compound with a high silica content, and both tyres benefit from revised profiles. Apparently this tyre’s more street-oriented than the Tourance EXP, whilst also providing significantly more mileage than the previous model tyre.

Ventura Tough-Rack Adventure riders wanting to carry a bit of stuff into the backblocks need look no further than the new Tough-Rack range from Ventura.

Though it will carry your existing Ventura packs and panniers, we’re told the ADVentura Tough-Rack system is very different, as it is designed to handle the far more extreme conditions and loads dished up by adventure touring around the world.

It looks like an innovative design, featuring a bolt-on pack frame which can be positioned vertically or removed altogether.

The ADVentura Tough-Rack system comes in model-specific rear carrier and pannier-mount assemblies, which can be purchased along with a choice of different packs and soft panniers, or as stand-alone rack only.

Zeta FP Clutch Lever This Zeta lever assembly is the type currently used by both Cody Cooper and Brad Groombridge, and it features a high-quality rotating clutch perch with an FP clutch lever.

That clutch perch is made of CNCmachined A7009 aluminium, while the lever arm is manufactured from forged aluminium for durable construction, and to improve its suitability for competitive use in MX or enduros.

Change the position of this lever’s ratio device to access two different lever ratios, for light pulling or accurate clutch control, and it also features an adjustable bolt and quick cable adjuster so you can rapidly and easily adjust clutch play even during a ride.

Zeta says this lever provides the best lever position for any hand size, and its quick hinge-style clamp system should ensure easy and quick maintenance.

A nylon sleeve placed between the clamp and handlebar allows the perch to rotate upon impact, while a built-in return spring in the pivot lever allows the lever to swing forward in the event of crash to prevent lever breakage.
