At the Cleveland Triple Crown, Hunter Lawrence proved that even the best days can have a "dirt sandwich" waiting at the end. After qualifying fastest, Lawrence looked untouchable in the first main event, powering his Honda HRC Progressive Honda CRF450R Works Edition to a commanding wire-to-wire victory. However, as the Cleveland weather turned, so did his luck; a fifth-place finish in the second race was followed by a chaotic third feature where multiple crashes relegated him to 14th. Despite the "rock and roll" nature of his night at Huntington Bank Field, his 1-5-14 scores secured sixth overall, allowing him to cling to the championship red plate by a razor-thin one-point margin heading into the final rounds.
Yoshimura R&D swapped the roar of the racetrack for the grit of the gravel pits this past weekend, making a high-profile appearance at the 2026 Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California. Trading their legendary exhaust pipes for high-performance cycling components, the team spent four days at the Laguna Seca Recreation Area showcasing their latest engineering marvels to over 75,000 bike riders. While there were fewer checkered flags and a lot more spandex than their usual Sunday afternoon, the Yoshimura crew proved that whether it's powered by high-octane fuel or high-carb gels, their obsession with precision remains undefeated.
At the 2026 MXGP of Trentino, five-time MXGP champ, Jeffrey Herlings proved once again why he’s a force to be reckoned with, piloting his Honda CRF450R to a overall victory. Despite his signature "relaxed" starts leaving him buried in the pack, "The Bullet" unleashed a masterclass in passing at the technical Pietramurata circuit, charging from 15th to win the first moto and fighting back to second in the final race. This 114th career Grand Prix win not only ties the record for victories at this iconic venue but also puts the Honda HRC Petronas racer within striking distance of the championship red plate—proving that when you pair a five-time champ with a masterpiece of Japanese engineering, the rest of the field is usually just looking at a receding fender.

The CFMOTO 675SS has officially crashed the middleweight party, and while its 675cc inline triple is already a head-turner, Yoshimura R&D decided it was time to turn up the volume, literally. Our new AT2 Race Series full system doesn’t just "fit" the bike; it transforms it from a polite commuter into a snarling track beast, shedding a massive 8.8 lbs of stock dead weight in the process (because the only thing that should be heavy on a sportbike is the trophy you win with it). With dyno-proven gains of up to 8.2% horsepower and 8.6% torque, this system delivers a soul-stirring howl that’ll make your neighbors wonder if you’ve joined the pro circuit, all while looking sharp behind a matte carbon fiber heat shield. Engineered right here in Chino, California, it’s the ultimate way to give your 675SS the "unleashed beast" personality it’s been begging for. No apology required.
