For the first time ever on Dirt Trax Television, AJ is here to give you his first thoughts on the eye-catching, diesel powered 2019 Mahindra ROXOR.
CORONA, Calif (July 24, 2019) – STI expands its Baja-tough HD9 Beadlock wheel line with the new 4+3 offset applications in the popular 4/137 bolt pattern. This ultra-tough beadlock gives even more UTV owners access
to the STI HD Alloy family.
When used with the HD9 6+1 or 5+2 front wheels, the new HD9 4+3 rear application sets up the Honda Talon UTV with the same track width front and rear. It’s the best way to keep the factory stance on Talon UTVs.
The HD9 Beadlock uses a 10mm thick beadlock ring secured by 5/16-inch grade-8 hardware for extra strength. Plus, each wheel includes a bolt-on center cap and pre-installed valve stem with black sleeve and matching cap.
Available in 14×7 and 15×7 sizes, the HD9 Beadlock comes in two finish options, Matte Black and Matte Black / Machined, along with a variety of color ring choices. Suggested retail prices: $178 for 14-inch and $198 for 15-inch HD9 4+3 wheels.

With a ton of miles ridden this summer, Luke drops his closing thoughts on Yamaha’s formidable 2019 Kodiak 700 EPS SE.
CORONA, Calif. (July 23, 2019) – STI’s new Out&Back Max 9.5 tire line features four new sizes for UTV owners seeking the best all-around mud tire that also happens to be lighter and a better value. By designing these new tires at 9.5 inches wide, STI was able to deliver tires that are lighter, better handling and available at a 15-percent lower retail price – all with top-notch performance – compared to similar 10-inch Out&Back Max tires.
These new Out&Back Max 9.5 tires are available in four sizes, from 28-inch up to 33-inch. Like the other Out&Back Max mudders, the new 9.5 offerings use stepped, 1.5-2.0 inch deep all-terrain tread that tracks through mud and cleans well. And while the new sizes are lightweight, they remain durable thanks to their 8-ply-rated carcass.
The Out&Back Max 9.5 tires are available now throughout North America. Suggested retail prices range from $230 to $294.

MARIETTA, Ga. – July 22, 2019 – Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, is pledging up to $500,000 in Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative (OAI) grant funds for 2019 to support ventures protecting outdoor recreation.

The following grant recipients received funding this past cycle to organize projects including trail construction and maintenance, the building of public restrooms and outdoor facilities, off-road riding safety courses, and national events to encourage and support outdoor recreation.
