Though they were among the last of the big three exhaust companies (PC, FMF, Yosh) to unveil their 2013 Honda CRF450R dually silencers, the Pro Circuit pipes are set to hit the market soon.
In case you missed it in our Friday Press Conference coverage, Chad Reed and Monster Energy are back together for 2013 and beyond. Reed already had a Fox lid and Shift gear outfitted with the M claw, along with a Dirt Shark butt patch. His rig was recently stripped of all decals and sponsor insignia as they wait to finalize all of the details for next year.
The desert hardpack bit Reed in the second main event of the night, as he lost his Honda on the glossy spot entering the stadium. Despite this crash, he would still claim fourth overall.
The JGR/Toyota/Yamaha bikes got a whiteout treatment for the weekend, and the look was well received by fans and industry alike.
Justin Brayton is not the only rider returning to JGR after a spell at another team, as Josh Grant also jumped back to his former ride. For Grant, the change will be on different terms than his 2009-2010 term. Per Coy Gibbs’ rules, a racer for the team was required to live near the team’s North Carolina HQ, but Grant will now be able to split his time between the east and west coasts.
