Hunter Lawrence wearing the 2022 Alpinestars Racer gear.
In addition to the premium gear lines we see Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, Jason Anderson and the Lawrence brother’s wearing, Alpinestars also offers the Racer line of gear, bringing you style and performance at an affordable price. The Racer pant and jersey are $100 less than the premium Supertech gear from Alpinestars while still offering great fit and function.
With pre-curved sleeves, moisture-wicking, lightweight poly-fabric materials and a durable main chassis, the Racer jersey is ready for a long season of racing with a price that won’t break the bank. It features a stretch neck collar to increase comfort and fitted wrist cuffs for an optimized fit. The tail of the jersey is also extended to help it stay tucked into the pants.
The Alpinestars Racer pants are lightweight, and they feature stretch panels at the lower waist to help with mobility. The zipper is hidden, and the waistband secures with a ratchet-type closure. The waist also features Velcro sans-a-belt style straps to ensure the pants fit well before and after a buffet dinner. There are stretch panels above the knees to help with flexibility, leather panels on the inner knees to improve durability, and high-denier fabric on the front of the knees to prevent tearing when you get roosted. The pants aren’t ventilated, as the focus was on creating a lightweight and durable pant for an affordable price.
The MXA wrecking crew last tested the Alpinestars Racer Tech line in 2019, but it has evolved since then. At first we felt slightly cheated when comparing the 2019 Racer Tech gear to the 2021 Racer Supermatic gear. The newer-generation pants aren’t as comfortable or flexible, but we realized that Alpinestars has dropped the price on the Racer pants from $139.95 to $119.95 and, therefore, had to save cost in materials. The high-denier shell on the new Racer pants doesn’t move like the four-way stretch fabric that the Racer Tech pants had; however, it wasn’t a problem that hurt our lap times. Our testers were never hindered while on the track.
Although the $20 price cut took away from the comfort of the pants, it didn’t hurt in the durability department one bit. In fact, it actually helped increase durability. We wrote in our 2019 test of the Racer Tech gear, “We noticed some wear behind the knee-brace area, and test riders with big knee braces wore small holes in the fabric after several hours of testing. The flexible foam material on the front of the knee braces also had small tears from roost.” Now, the foam material on the front of the knees is gone, and the durability of both the front and back of the knees was surprising to us as we put this gear through the ringer. The leather knee panel also held up well.
The Alpinestars Racer jersey comes in sizes small to double extra large, and the Racer pant sizing ranges from 28- to 40-inch waistbands. The Racer gear is also available in Youth sizes.
We wish Alpinestars had kept some of the same four-way stretch material they used before to keep us feeling Pro.
DIGITS? $39.95 (jersey), $129.95 (pant). (*$129.95 is the updated 2022 pricing)— www.alpinestars.com or (800) 438-2577.
MXA RATING: Alpinestars had a plan, and it seems to have succeeded. The pants aren’t made for top Pros racing Supercross; they’re made for the racer who wants to look like the top Pros while wearing gear that will hold up through the season.
Hawaiian Brian Medeiros uses all the track and then some.
The REM racers were looking at one month off from the date of their last race to the date of their next race (the yearly Octobercross on October 30th). REM had to give up their track on consecutive weekends for the WORCS Motorcycle GP, the WORCS UTV/Quad GP and the 3-Bros 24 Hours of Glen Helen—all of which needed the whole park. But, REM’s Frank Thomason said at the last rider’s meeting that if any dates became available in October he would hold a race. And it turns out that Saturday, October 16, is now an open date and REM will be racing at Glen Helen on that date. Which is—This Saturday!
Looking towards the Glen Helen National track.
This is good news for Glen Helen’s loyal REM racers, who will get to race two weeks before the REM Octobercross, which will be held as a warm-up race on the National track one week before the World Vet Championship. For more info go to www.remsatmx.com or Click Here for REM’s Facebook page.
With its Techno-Mirco microfiber construction, lined with Teflon and Cambrelle, the Sidi Crossfire 2 SM boots is designed exclusively for Supermoto and offers specific features for that discipline. The Crossfire 2 SM features a replaceable SMS Supermoto sole in red, made from a soft compound for optimum grip. The boot can also be fitted with a yellow version, which is a little stiffer and suitable for riding when pushing on the footpads is a must. The Crossfire 2 SM has a replaceable anatomical plate positioned at the shin as well as a plate with double adjustment placed inside the boot cuff, designed to protect from the heat of the exhaust gases and wear. The toe is entirely covered with plastic protection panels and has a raised geometric design for greater grip, while an anatomical sock secures the foot, even in the event of twisting, offering high comfort.
Another important feature is the Dual Flex System Upper. It is composed of two joints, one on the ankle to improve flexion and offer a natural position on the footpegs, and the other on the boot for flexibility and adjustment of the boot itself. The closure is managed by a micrometric buckle combined with straps with memory adjustment. Sidi Crossfire SM is perfectly placed in the world of supermotards without fearing the adrenaline-filled drifts with the foot out, for which the sole has been meticulously designed.
The Pasha 125 Open two-stroke race will return to the 2021 World Vet Championship on Nov. 5-7 at Glen Helen Raceway. It is a very unique race in that it is only open to 125cc to 150cc two-strokes and there are only two classes—Over-30 year old and Over-50 years old. Additionally, there are no skill divisions (it is an Open class, which any rider of any skill level is eligible to race, as long as he meets the age limits for the two classes). If you have a 125cc two-stroke you can be on the starting line—most likely next to a former AMA Pro who showed up for the money. How much money? $5000 for each class, $10,000 total, with the winner pocketing $2500, second place getting $1500 and third place making $1000. Fourth place gets a pat on back and that warm fuzzy feeling of doing something that few on the planet ever get to do — blast off the line with 39 other 125 two-strokes shrieking like banshees.

CZ’s last-ditch attempt to regain a foothold in the American market, that had been so lucrative for them in the early 1970s, was an epic failure with th 1992 CZ 125MX. This test is from the November 1991 issue of MXA.
The Czechoslovakian CZ brand (Ceske Zavodny) had once been the premier motocross brand in the sport. In the late 1960s and early ’70s, they had Roger DeCoster, Paul Freidrichs, Brad Lackey, Joel Robert, Tony DiStefano, Vlastimil Valek, Victor Arbekov, John DeSoto, Jaroslav Falta and Dave Bickers racing for them. They won 13 World Motocross Championships and were the two-stroke brand that pushed the big four-stroke singles out of the sport. But CZ had fallen on hard times, by the late 1970s—not unusual for Eastern Bloc countries behind the Iron Curtain.
MXA test riders said that riding the 1992 CZ 125MX was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but that was because they would only agree to ride it once.
The 1976 Falta Replica was their last serious attempt to sell a competitive motocross bike in America. Oh yeah, they did resurrect the 1976 model 13 long years later, with the 1989 CZ 400. It only had modest repackaging from 1976 original and an incredibly low $1900 retail price. But, that $1900 was buying a vintage CZ that had nothing to offer to an upscale American market that had moved on from air-cooled bikes from the 1970s. CZ disappeared again in 1989, only to resurface in America one last time in 1992—this time with the CZ 125MX. We would hazard a guess that no one in America remembers it and, other than a few CZ fanatics, no one ever forked over the $3000 for one.
The paper air filter element looked like it came off of a Volkswagen.
In an overview, the craftsmanship on the 1992 CZ125MX was crude. The plastic, welding, engineering and detailing were stone age compared to a 1992 Suzuki RM125. The one place where the CZ 125MX was inventive and contemporary was in their engine. The castings were top-notched and it had a power valve, case-reed induction and the two well-made aluminum radiators, but the contradiction with the rest of the bike were striking.
The castings on the 125MX were first rate. It was also very contemporary with its case-reed induction. Note the welded together steel tube kickstarter.
Remember the case-reed induction, it was ruined by an enormous 36mm Jikov carburetor (that had to have the mainjet brazed up and redrilled to get the bike to run in the warm California sun). Luckily, the bikes eventually were fitted for export with a 32mm Mikuni. When you opened up the airbox, you were struck by the sight of paper air filter from the 1960s. Remember those excellent radiators? Surprise, the radiator cap was made from aluminum, but the spring and rubber seal that controlled when the pressure in the radiators blew off steam were pop-riveted on through the cap.
The petcock stuck out through an opening in the radiator wing. Your knee could hit against it and turn the gas off.
The gas tank was a little fat, but it looked nice, until you found out that there were two petcocks — one on each side of the tank and the right-side one stuck so far out from the radiator wings that your leg would hit and turn the gas off. It didn’t matter much because both petcocks leaked.
What were they thinking? The triple clamps encased the fork legs and were cast in one-piece. Even the front number plate bosses were cast in.
It got even weirder! The top and bottom triple clamps were cast as one piece. You slipped the triple clamps over the head tube and the steering stem slid through to hold them in place. Additionally, there are five cast bosses on the top and bottom triple clamps. What did they do? They held the front number plate on. The swingarm looked like an HRC aluminum copy, but was steel. In fact, most of the parts that were aluminum on a 1992 Japanese motorcycles were made out of steel on the 1992 CZ 125MX—and that included the shock linkage, shock body, shock reservoir, shift lever and kickstarter.
The machining on the very chunky rear brake caliper looks like it was done with a hacksaw. The steel swingarm looked like an aluminum HRC Honda swingarm because of the weld down the center.
The forks looked like Marzocchis from the mid-1970s, but they were Czech copies. You could hear the spring rubbing against the inside of the forks legs when you pushed up and down on them. The shock was worse, when you pushed down on it, it had so much rebound damping that it stayed down for 15 seconds before coming back up. The 125MX came with adjustable steering lock, but it was only adjustable from almost no turning to absolutely no turning. The 1992 CZ 125MX was shod with Czech-made Barum Sandy/Muddy/Cross tires with more knobs per square inch than the anemic engine could spin. It was slow. We think that the engine, for all of its visual charm, would have had a hard time winning a 125 race in 1978.
The rear brake master cylinder was a nice piece, but if you think the rubber hose is going to a remote brake fluid reservoir, you are wrong. The rubber hose was the brake fluid reservoir.
It’s easy to say that the 1992 CZ125MX was a bad bike because it was much worse than just “bad.” This bike could be blamed on commissars who ran the factory or the “build it cheap” philosophy for the captive audience behind the Iron Curtain. But by the time the 1992 CZ 125MX was made, the Wall had come down and CZ was forced to try to sell their products to capitalists outside of the Iron Curtain.
It looked better than it was, until you looked closer. Jody Weisel raced it 29 years ago, but said it wasn’t really racing because it was so slow and so heavy that “you watched the pack pull away and then waited for them to come around again.”
The 1992 CZ 125MX was almost wholly made in Czecho, save for the rims that came from MZ in East Germany, but it also appears that it was wholly designed in Czechoslovakia also. It appears that the Czechs built this bike without the benefit of ever looking closely at a 1992 Japanese 125 motocross bike.
The final moment of glory for a CZ 125MX was when Gary Jones raced an air-cooled 1978 model to win the 250 Pro class at the 1981 CZ World Championship at Saddleback Park.

The Smith Violator goggles was way ahead of its time, or maybe racers back in 1995 didn’t recognize that the Violator was the precursor of what was to come in goggle design in the future. Designed by Hook Taylor, who as the most creative thinker in the goggle biz, the Violator never took off—at least not back in 1995. Perhaps in 2022, it would be a big success.

Travis Pastrana’s Nitro RallyCross (NRC) is set to expand in a big way, announcing a full championship series comprising five races in 2021. In 2022, NRX will go even bigger with a 10-stop global championship with races in North America, Europe and the Middle East. The new championship will also feature a revolutionary electric vehicle supercar class, which will be introduced in 2022. Travis Pastrana said, “Since day one, I have truly believed that Nitro RallyCross has the potential to be the most exciting motorsports series on the planet. When we built the first NRX course in Utah we knew we had something special — from the drivers’ genuine smiles to the astonished fans as cars flew side-by-side over 100-foot jumps.” Nitro RallyCross comes to Glen Helen Raceway on Nov. 20-21.
