2022.5 Podium Pro Jersey and Pant

The Omni-Stretch material in FXR’s Podium Pro jersey was developed to give riders the ultimate combination of 4-way stretch with the maximum amount of airflow. The Podium Pro jersey’s hybrid vented material is constructed in a performance fit pattern that allows the jersey to flex and move without restriction while helping riders maintain a lower core temperature.

FXR has refined and improved the fit and performance of the Podium Pro Pant based on the M-2 Motion Pant chassis, to offer the all-new Podium Pro model. Keeping all the same benefits of the Helium chassis with extra ventilation for maximum amount of airflow.
An all-new, industry-first Auto-Buckle front closure system works with our fool-proof Hook & Loop side hip adjusters to further secure the waist closure and provide a positive feeling under hard acceleration or seat bouncing scenarios.

WOLF: BACK IN THE DAY

That’s my 1978 YZ400 that I raced in D37 Enduros, and any other enduro I could get to out west. Here’s what I remember about the scoot, it made great easy to manage power, was incredibly durable and good suspension. I fit up an IT tank and fenders, used a VDO odometer, Countdown clock and roll chart and ran a 17-inch rear wheel so I could run lower air pressure via the tall carcass on the Trelleborg tire. Love the army issue canteen and Griffs pants!
