When normal people think of Idaho, they think potatoes. But we think of Fly Racing and the WPS (Western Power Sports) headquarters with its own MX track. Take a look at the massive warehouse and their 2018 gear lineup.

The biggest news is that the Lite Hydrogen gear line now has a BOA closure like the Evolution 2.0 gear.Photo by Sean Klinger

While the Lite Hydrogen sacrifices some durability and ruggedness to be as light and flexible as possible, the Evo 2.0 gear is a sturdier gear set for hardcore off-road riders.Fly Racing
