Racing Discussion / The 2024 Supercross Season
Last post by Biketographer - May 25, 2024, 09:41:47 AM
ELLENTON, Fla. and MORGANTOWN, W.Va., May 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The 17-Round Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship recently concluded on Saturday, May 11 in Salt Lake City with Team Honda HRC's Jett Lawrence winning the title and earning Rookie of the Year honors in the 450SX Class. In addition to the remarkable achievements on the track, Feld Motor Sports, Inc. is excited to report record-breaking accomplishments off the track.

Feld_Motor_Sports_image2.jpg


At just 20 years old, Lawrence had eight wins on the season and became just the third racer in history to win the Premier Class title in his rookie season. Adding to the Australian's growing list of accolades, Lawrence was the first-ever racer to win his debut Supercross race in the Premier Class back in January at the season opener from Angel Stadium of Anaheim in Anaheim, Calif. Lawrence also joined James Stewart in becoming only the second athlete in history to win every championship available to him in his young career (currently seven).

Like the 450SX Class Championship, both the Eastern and Western Regional 250SX Class Championships also came down to the final race of the season – the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown that featured both regions racing together. Red Bull KTM's Tom Vialle won the Eastern Regional Championship over Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's Haiden Deegan and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's RJ Hampshire won the Western Regional Championship over Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Levi Kitchen after going into the final race tied in points.

The indoor Supercross stadium season started with two sellouts in the first three rounds – the Anaheim Opener at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, followed by Round 3 at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego. The series then witnessed record attendance in four straight markets, starting with Round 5 at Ford Field in Detroit, Round 6 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., Round 7 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and Round 8 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Round 7 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas was the highest-attended round of the Supercross season with 67,319 impassioned fans coming to the race on Saturday, February 24. Rounds 10 through 16 averaged more than 53K-plus spectators at each round while taking place in some of the largest NFL stadiums in the country - Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Lumen Field in Seattle, The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Each venue boasts a capacity of more than 65K for NFL games. Round 10 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis drew an impressive 62,254 that would rival a home game and featured a "who's who" list of INDYCAR drivers in attendance.

The season concluded with another sell out at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. In total, more than 855,000 fans attended Supercross in 2024.

Several high-priority initiatives are seeing a return on investment through streaming and television analytics, the first of which was changing the start times for all Pacific Time Zone races so they would start within the primetime viewing window in the East and Central time zones. The total amount of live minutes watched on Peacock for the 2024 Supercross season was 720M, a nearly 30% increase versus 2023. Round 2 in San Francisco delivered the largest streaming audience of the season with a 69% increase in viewership for the same round the previous year. The most minutes watched for any one round happened three weeks later at Round 8 in Daytona Beach, with 40.7M minutes live and another 11.6M minutes via video on demand.

Supercross also delivered very solid linear viewership on NBC at Round 2 in San Francisco, averaging 696,000 total viewers, only to be surpassed by the largest linear audience of the season at Round 5 in Detroit with 704,000. When streaming numbers are added to the mix, each of these races delivered an audience well above the 1M mark.

7.2M viewers watched a Supercross telecast on NBC, USA Network, and CNBC in 2024, up 24% from the Supercross audience reach in 2023.

The final round of Supercross from Salt Lake City was watched live on both Peacock and USA Network, plus a one-hour encore presentation was broadcast on NBC the following day. Total reach of unduplicated viewers on USA Network and NBC was over 900,000 people over the course of Saturday and Sunday.

The international livestream made available through the SuperMotocross Video Pass continues to drive a global viewing audience and makes SuperMotocross one of the most accessible sports on the planet. Another primary initiative for the 2024 season was the creation of a Spanish-language broadcast anchored by veteran broadcaster Edgar Lopez and former racer Tommy Rios. The Spanish-language broadcast is being viewed in over 130 countries, with most viewership coming from Mexico, Spain, and Latin America. 10% of all subscribers of the SMX Video Pass are watching in Spanish. Interesting enough, the Spanish-language broadcast is also seeing strong viewership in both Australia and Canada. Overall global subscribers to the SMX Video Pass are up 27.4% from last year.

Additional broadcast enhancements that are creating a better viewing experience at home include the use of drones and leader light technology. Drones have proven to provide a unique viewing angle for SuperMotocross racing and the SMX League has been the driving force behind several NFL stadiums allowing the use of drones on their properties. Supercross was the "first to fly" at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, at Lumen Field in Seattle and at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. In all, Supercross was allowed to fly in 11 of the 16 venues on the 2024 schedule.

As the SuperMotocross World Championship hits the midway point in the year, the Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, gets underway this Saturday, May 25, with the Honda Fox Raceway National in Pala, Calif. The 11-round outdoor season will travel to 10 different states, with visits to the hallowed grounds of Fox Raceway, Hangtown, Thunder Valley Motocross Park, High Point Raceway, RedBud MX, The Wick 338, Spring Creek MX Park, Washougal MX Park, Unadilla MX, Budds Creek Motocross Park, and Ironman Raceway.

Once the Pro Motocross season concludes, the combined points between Supercross and Pro Motocross will be tallied and the top 20 athletes in the world will be automatically seeded into the SuperMotocross World Championship Playoffs and Final.

SuperMotocross World Championship Playoff 1 will take place on Saturday, September 7, at zMAX Dragway in Concord, N.C., and Playoff 2 is set for Saturday, September 14, at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, followed by the SuperMotocross World Championship Final on Saturday, September 21, at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas.

Last post by Biketographer - May 09, 2024, 06:09:58 AM
BOSTON, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Boundless Rider Insurance Agency, LLC ("Boundless Rider"), a new insurtech focused on innovating and modernizing insurance for motorcycle and powersport riders, today announced the launch of its Safe Rider Program, which harnesses the power of AI and telematics to enhance rider safety and put money back in their pockets when the vehicle is not in use. The news arrives during Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, which is commemorated each May to raise drivers' awareness of motorcycles on the road and promote safety measures for riders. Additionally, the company announced that Boundless Rider policies are now available for purchase in Ohio, making it possible for owners of on-road and off-road motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, scooters, and mopeds to obtain coverage online via the Boundless Rider website or through agent partners.

In a first-of-its-kind implementation for the motorcycle insurance industry, Boundless Rider's RIDE app features proprietary crash detection technology that connects to local 911 dispatch; a $100,000 death benefit to support the families of those lost to fatal motorcycle accidents; and AI that runs inside the app and automatically applies a 20% discount on the monthly insurance premium when the vehicle is used for less than 10 miles per month. Policyholders will automatically receive a 5% policy discount upon opting in to the Safe Rider Program and connecting the app to their policy. In an industry first, Boundless Rider is providing the families of riders with meaningful financial support when fatal accidents do occur by including a $100,000 death benefit for policyholders who are enrolled in the Safe Rider Program and have the app running at the time of the accident. The RIDE app is currently available for iOS and Android.

"Motorcyclists make up an outsized percentage of deadly accidents, accounting for 14% of all traffic fatalities even though motorcycles comprise just 3% of all registered vehicles in the United States. Riders are overdue to benefit from the technology and safety features that have long been available to drivers, like 911 emergency response coordination," said Blair Baldwin, founder and CEO of Boundless Rider. "We've spent the past two years building out the technology that underpins our Safe Rider Program and the benefits that can be unlocked by using the app. Most importantly, we've designed the product and customer experience especially for those we serve – the riders who trust us with their premiums to be there for them in their time of need."

There are more than 9.8 million registered motorcycles in the U.S. as of 2021, per the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, but motorcycle insurance is considered an ancillary line by most carriers and has not seen meaningful product innovation in decades. Boundless Rider's key differentiator lies in its proprietary telematics tech stack, developed from approximately 3 billion trip miles, that has enabled the company to develop unique features and benefits from its inception.

As a digital MGA, Boundless Rider strives to be the partner of choice for agents who need to write policies, carriers that want to offer a "bundle" without having to underwrite specialty vehicles, and OEMs that seek to integrate insurance into their offering. The company offers a combination of differentiated policy features and competitive pricing, plus the flexibility of a modern tech stack, to meet the needs of carriers, agents, manufacturers, and dealers. Boundless Rider's agent portal enables agents to provide quotes for new and emerging powersport vehicle classes using its 30-second "quick quote" tool, as well as access specialized coverage offerings and multi-line discounts to match riders with the coverage they need. Agents who are interested in gaining access to Boundless Rider's portal can sign up here.

Boundless Rider is currently available to riders in Texas, Arizona, Illinois and Ohio, with more states rolling out this year. All policies in Arizona, Illinois, and Ohio are underwritten by Incline Casualty Company; policies in Texas are underwritten by Redpoint County Mutual Insurance Company.

About Boundless Rider
Boundless Rider Insurance Agency, LLC ("Boundless Rider") is focused on bringing product innovation, rider centricity, and excellence in claims to riders of specialty vehicles like motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, UTVs, and snowmobiles. Boundless Rider is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MileUp, Inc. For more information, please visit www.boundlessrider.com.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Indian Motorcycle, America's First Motorcycle Company, today announced a fundraising effort in partnership with Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders with life-changing educational scholarships. Rallying its owners' community, Indian Motorcycle is coordinating regional owners' rides around the country on August 24, 2024. Indian Motorcycle owners can donate and register to participate before midnight on August 24, 2024.

The fundraising effort encourages Indian Motorcycle owners' groups from around the country to get involved by donating to the cause and participating in the Folds of Honor charity ride. Every contribution, regardless of size, fuels its mission of making a meaningful impact in the lives of the families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. As a special incentive, Indian Motorcycle will gift the individual who raises the most funds with a brand-new, custom Indian Springfield. Additional product and prizes will be offered at various levels of contributions.

"Supporting U.S. military service members and first responders has always been core to our brand, which is why we're excited to be partnering with Folds of Honor and rallying our owners to give back and support those families in need," said Aaron Jax, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle. "As riders, we understand the power of community and the joy of giving back, and with our legion of owners all around the country, we are beyond excited to make an impact for such an important cause."

For nearly 20 years, Folds of Honor has provided educational support to the families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders.

Electric Motorcycles and Scooters / TAILG Unveils 19 E-bikes
Last post by Biketographer - May 07, 2024, 09:35:24 AM
SHANGHAI, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- From May 5 to 8, the China International Bicycle Exhibition opened grandly in Shanghai. TAILG, as a leading electric two-wheeler company, exhibited its latest full range of E-bike products. The on-site sales were booming, with visiting customers from South Korea, Europe and the United States giving thumbs up frequently.

7 Major Series, 19 New Models Released

With energy shortages and rising oil prices, trends like low-carbon, smart, and lightweight have propelled the rapid development of E-Bikes, making it a new hundred-billion-dollar opportunity in the global two-wheeler industry.

At the exhibition, e-bikes have attracted much attention as a new track for Chinese brands to go overseas. TAILG's product team has conducted long-term localized user research in countries around the world and launched seven major e-bike product series, including urban, mountain, motorcycle-like, functional and shared, with a total of 19 models.

At the exhibition, the TAILG booth had active transactions, especially the six key new products, such as ManBa Max, Hornet Max, Ekoo, Pitaya, Snow Swallow and Eco, which were widely praised by overseas customers.

Among high-end mountain bikes, Hornet Max can provide a more balanced weight distribution and excellent climbing ability and is the first choice for mountain bike enthusiasts who focus on quality and intelligent technology.

At the same time, the efficient mid-drive system is paired with the SR 11-speed transmission to make riding more effortless. The Hornet Max is equipped with a 48V500W motor, an adjustable hydraulic front fork and a mid-mounted gas shock absorber, allowing you to ride comfortably on rugged mountain roads.

As a folding bike, Snow Swallow's configuration is eye-catching. The 500W rear hub motor, coupled with an aluminum alloy folding frame, has a top speed of 35km/h and a pure electric range of up to 35km. It is also equipped with a USB charging port, which can charge mobile phones at any time, making it a good commuting choice for urban white-collar workers.

It is reported that in 2023, TAILG's overseas e-bike products have been widely recognized in the Korean and North American markets, with e-bike sales in the Korean market alone reaching nearly 30,000 units.

TAILG Expands Global Presence

In the process of realizing the dream of globalization, TAILG actively creates new long-range product categories, seizes the new E-Bike track, and focuses on building benchmark markets and countries overseas.

Recently, TAILG exceeded its order target at the Canton Fair, and the number of customers it received far exceeded expectations. At the first Asiabike Jakarta, TAILG was visited by Indonesian President Joko Widodo and discussed the electrification process of Indonesia's two-wheel vehicles. At the same time, it successfully joined hands with nearly 100 of the first distribution partners through the first Indonesia Low Carbon Mobility Seminar.

These achievements not only demonstrate TAILG's overseas capabilities, but also lay a solid foundation for its globalization strategy. The 2024 CHINA CYCLE will also help TAILG further win an e-bike market worth hundreds of billions of dollars and accelerate its globalization.
