WHAT'S SELLING THIS YEAR? What are the top products bought by sportbike, cruiser, scooter, dirtbike and ATV customers? For
the fourth straight year we asked our Top 100 dealers to tell us.
Returning this year are products that made the list in the past: the Motorsports Hero camera (after debuting last year), Rev'It
and Icon apparel, Thor off-road gear, Rush and Rinehart exhausts, ITP Mud Lite tires and others.
Many products are new to the market, like Kali Protectives helmets, Giant Loop saddlebags and the Ed Hardy riding gear that
will go on sell sometime in the next 90 days (apparently some dealers anticipated, instead of reported, their best seller,
but we granted them leeway).
On the following pages, and in no particular order, we take a look at some the Top 100 dealers' favorite products.
GO PRO MOTORSPORT HERO. "Great lightweight camera that includes multiple mounting solutions," a dealer says. "It enables any rider to chronicle
their favorite ride." He says that because the camera is waterproof, it's also popular with watersport enthusiasts. GoPro, 415-738-2480, http://www.goprocamera.com/.
SCORPION EXO700 HELMET and COOL ROD JACKET. "A lot of customers were asking about them and for them, so in Indy we checked them out and really liked the product line,"
a dealer says. "They have been excellent sellers." Scorpion Sports Inc., 888-672-6774, http://www.scorpionusa.com/.
GIANT LOOP SADDLEBAG. "Rugged luggage for dual-sport bikes" is how a dealer describes this new brand, which also offers the Great Basin Saddlebag
for full-on streetbikes . Giant Loop, 541-633-0620, http://www.giantloopmoto.com/.
KALI HELMETS. "Offering something different, new and edgy," a dealer says of the manufacturer, which makes its foam liners and shells as
one piece with no third-party bonding agent. This reportedly results in a safer helmet. The company also makes armor. Kali Protectives, 408-224-3600, http://www.kaliprotectives.com/.
ITP MUD LITE TIRES. "Best aftermarket tire for the money," a dealer says. The manufacturer now offers five different Mud Lite models. Pictured
here is the XL version, a 6-ply tire sporting 1 ⅛-inch lugs. ITP, 909-390-1905, http://www.itptires.com/.
