Peak Design launches the world’s first Qi2 wireless charging motorcycle mounts

[PRESS RELEASE] Peak Design, the worldwide leader in carry solutions and mobile accessories, is proud to launch their nex-gen Motorcycle Mounts: a best-in-class suite of motorcycle phone mounts featuring blazing-fast Qi2 wireless charging, fastest-in-class phone attachment, and superior vibration protection. Released as part of Peak Design’s 12th Kickstarter, Peak Design Moto Mounts provide riders of all motorcycles, ATVs and scooters a convenient system for mounting, accessing and now charging their mobile phones while throttling around.

The biggest advancement in Peak Design’s new Moto Mounts is the incorporation of Qi2 wireless charging. Qi2 is a new global charging standard that is faster, more powerful, and more efficient, allowing 2x faster peak charging speeds. When using your phone for power-hungry tasks like backroad navigation, Qi2 can be the difference between arriving at your destination fully-charged versus less charged than when you started. Peak Design is the first company to introduce locking motorcycle mounts designed to meet the Qi2 standard.*

Peak Design’s updated Moto Mount suite also features two new mounts—the Brake/Clutch Mount and Mirror Mount—for vastly expanded bike and scooter compatibility. The rest of the line has also received functional and aesthetic updates, most notably the V2 Bar Mount, the company’s most popular Moto Mount.

All Peak Design Moto Mounts boast proprietary SlimLink™ connection technology, which allows users to rigidly lock their phone just by holding it against the mount. Attachment and removal can be done 1-handed and without looking. Peak Design Moto Mounts also have a built-in vibration damping system with best-in-class protection against motorcycle engine vibrations that can be harmful to a phone’s delicate internal components.

“You may not think of Peak Design as a motorcycle brand, but the fact is many folks at Peak Design ride, and we like to design solutions to problems that we ourselves have” said Peak Design Founder and CEO, Peter Dering. “Traditional moto phone mounts are bulky, difficult to use, and unattractive. So, we went to work and fixed it, creating a line of mounts that are gorgeous, fast-charging, and things you’d actually be excited to attach to your bike.”

From July 9 through August 12, 2024, Peak Design’s next-gen Moto Mounts will be available to preorder on Kickstarter for up to 34% off MSRP (MSRP $49.95 - $169.95, depending on the product). Products are expected to ship to Kickstarter backers and become available on peakdesign.com, Amazon, and motorcycle accessory retailers worldwide in December. Customers who pre-order on Kickstarter will also receive a free three-month membership of REVER Pro, the leading app for motorcycle route-mapping and tracking.

*As of July 8th Peak Design Moto Mounts are in the very final stages of Qi2 certification and are fully expected to be officially certified by the end of their Kickstarter campaign.

About Peak Design

Since 2010, Peak Design has been building innovative carry solutions with a simple overarching design directive: make the best things. The idea for our first product was born on a motorcycle trip through Southeast Asia and has since expanded to include a cross-functional ecosystem of bags, pouches, slings, straps, and clips. We’ve won applause along the way, but we’re most proud of the fact that we’re 100% crowdfunded and 100% employee-owned. We’ve raised $36 Million through 11 Kickstarter campaigns to become the world’s most successfully crowdfunded company. This allows Peak Design to stay investor- free and focused on the things that matter most: designing great products, fostering happy employees, and taking care of our customers and the natural environment.

The 2025 KTM 250 SX-F Adamo edition celebrates a champion

The 2025 KTM 250 SX-F Adamo edition celebrates a champion

[PRESS RELEASE] In celebration of Andrea Adamo winning the 2023 MX2 World Championship, KTM unveils the KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION. After a superb run to the title that saw four moto wins and 19 additional podiums, KTM celebrates that success by applying some very special touches to a machine inspired by the bike that Andrea Adamo will ride in 2024 to defend his cherished MX2 title.

It was an emotional day when Adamo clinched the 2023 FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship at the Grand Prix of Italy, at the penultimate round of last season. Securing the title on home soil at Maggiora Park meant the Italian concluded a consistent first season as a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider by delivering the team a 15th title in 20 years. In doing so he became the tenth different racer to clinch the gold plate with the KTM 250 SX-F.

Building on this success the KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION holds at the heart of it the very same READY TO RACE ethos that comes with all KTM models. With this being the ADAMO EDITION, KTM wanted to make sure it truly had that factory feel. The KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION is a special version only offered to customers in the EU. It's produced in limited quantities to commemorate Andrea Adamo winning the 2023 MX2 World Championship. In honor of this milestone, only 80 units of the KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION will be produced – just like Adamo’s race number #80.

Starting with the brand-new Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO) - which is also available for the entire KTM SX-F range and included with the 2024 KTM 250 and 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITIONS - this two-part system offers both engine behavior and suspension settings adjustment via the KTMconnect App, allowing riders to tune their bikes to exactly how they want them to ride and feel, making sure everyone can find their preference. Official affiliation with LitPro means riders can dive into the deepest of detail to take a closer look at their racing lines, lap times, gearing, throttle position, G-Force, jump distance and so much more. Whether riders use it to chase a lap time, perfect their setup, or just compare with friends, adjustment and the information offered are all easily accessible in the KTMconnect App.

When it comes to looks, the KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION closely resembles the aesthetics of Adamo’s race bike for the upcoming 2024 MX2 World Championship. To add to the presence, the KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION comes with an incredibly special item that is a complete front mask with the iconic championship leader red plate featuring Adamo’s race number #80 and signed by the Champion himself.

As this item is not available to order separately, it’s a real collector’s piece that Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Adamo fans will take great pride in owning and carrying on their bike. The #80 red plate will also include Andrea’s signature and the limited-edition motorcycle will come with a separate #80 sticker for putting on the number boards of the race bike if so desired.

The KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION comes with the Pirelli SCORPION MX 32 MID SOFT both on the front and rear. Being the championship-winning tire, it’s an obvious choice. Offering excellent traction that guarantees maximum power transmission to the ground, the MX 32s then also provide the precision and feel needed to find and hold your line into corners due to the layout of the front lateral knobs. With the tire developed by some of the most prestigious motocross racers in the world, including MX2 World Champion Adamo, it will have riders feeling at one with their KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION on the track.

The hardware of the KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION shares the core details of its sibling the KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION. The frame, weighing 300 g less than that of the standard bike, features the same updated engine mounts that allow for optimized flexibility which has led to improved cornering characteristics. The strategic repositioning of rotating mass within the frame has allowed for a better center of gravity too, offering greater traction and anti-squat behavior out of the corners. The KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION also comes with a newly designed carbon-reinforced skid plate as standard, ensuring even the biggest hits barely leave a scratch.

The 250cc engine is not only light at 26.1 kg but also remarkably powerful and reaches an incredible 14,000 rpm rev limit. Supplementing that power is the Akrapovič slip-on line exhaust that boasts titanium construction to fall in line with weight-saving and mass centralization as the main criteria of the KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION.

Fully adjustable WP suspension keeps riders in plush contact with the ground thanks to the 48 mm WP XACT front fork offering 310 mm of progressive and consistent damping. The FACTORY START DEVICE, and Brembo hydraulic clutch system, will also leave riders with no problem getting the holeshot. At the back, the WP XACT rear shock’s advanced damping provides unbeatable traction and energy absorption. An added bonus of the WP XACT front fork and rear shock is that they are both fully adjustable by hand, no tools required.

Getting things stopped, Brembo’s 260 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc provide superior braking power, with the material of the rear brake lever now stiffer to take the big hits, no problem. Durable strong black rims with orange CNC machined hubs also stand up to the rigors of motocross and, with their lightweight construction, they only enhance the stopping performance, due to less rotating mass.

The KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION is a rare gem that takes the READY TO RACE motto to the next level and the specs list speaks for itself.

2025 KTM 250 SX-F ADAMO EDITION specs:

  • Red Bull KTM Factory Racing CTG (Race Season 2024)
  • Red plate of World Championship Winner included #80 and signature in buy pack
  • Updated tank spoilers
  • Orange glossy ‘Factory’ frame
  • Connectivity Unit Offroad system & compatible front fender
  • Updated stiffer suspension settings
  • WP XACT AER 48 mm front fork & WP XACT rear shock
  • Factory Racing Start device
  • Factory Racing Seat
  • Factory Racing Triple Clamps
  • Factory Racing Frame Protection Set
  • Factory Racing front brake disc guard (carbon version)
  • Factory Racing skid plate (carbon version)
  • Factory Racing wheel set (black rim, black spokes, orange hubs, orange nipples)
  • Semi-floating front brake disc

  • Orange Rear Sprocket
  • Golden Regina Chain
  • Akrapovič “Slip-On Line” exhaust
  • Hinson Outer Clutch Cover
  • Number #80 in buy pack
  • Vented airbox cover in buy pack

The latest iteration of the KTM SX-F range is a highly advanced technical platform that will form the basis of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s championship ambitions. The potential of the KTM SX-F foundation is beyond doubt, and boasts the DNA of countless wins, podiums, and titles in the upper echelons of motocross and supercross competition through the last decade.

Taking the crown: EMX wins the first ever FIM E-Xplorer World Cup with MIE Racing

EMX wins the first ever FIM E-Xplorer World Cup with MIE Racing

Taking the crown: EMX wins the first ever FIM E-Xplorer World Cup with MIE Racing

[PRESS RELEASE] After an exciting inaugural season, Dutch based manufacturer EMX is crowned champion of the first ever FIM E-Xplorer World Cup with Midori Moriwaki’s MIE Racing team. Riders Sandra Gómez and Jorge Zaragoza secured the title after a thrilling final round, concluding the season with a ten-point advantage over the runners-up, the Gravity Team of Camille Chapelière and Kiara Fontanesi.

Speed and consistency

The MIE Racing team achieved fantastic results with Gómez and Zaragoza, reaching the podium at every round to amass two wins, two second place finishes, and one third over the five-race championship, which played out on different types of track. Equally impressive is the fact that the EMX bikes finished every session and race without any mechanical issues.

From production to the international racing arena

The FIM E-Xplorer World Cup provides the ideal arena in which to showcase the EMX proposal. Considering its mission to offer an enjoyable, easy to ride platform to riders of all skill levels, EMX entered the championship with the exact same bike that is available to motocross enthusiasts. With only the suspension and tires changed to suit riders’ preferences, no further technical modifications were made to the production model in order to compete in the championship.

About MIE Racing

Midori Moriwaki established the MIDORI Corporation in March 2018 with the aim of expanding in the motorsports industry and set up her own “MIE RACING HONDA TEAM” that same year, with the intention of competing in the Superbike World Championship as of 2019. In 2020 Midori Moriwaki confirmed her commitment to the FIM Superbike World Championship by entering the series with the satellite MIE Racing Honda Team and Honda CBR1000RR-R machines, managing a project that she continued to develop in 2021 and 2022. Electing to expand her commitment to the production-derived championship in 2023, Midori launched a brand new WorldSSP project to run alongside her WorldSBK Team (PETRONAS MIE Racing Honda Team). This newly formed team entered into the 2023 Supersport World Championship with Honda CBR600RR machines and took a stunning first win of the season in the second race of the Czech round with British rider Tarran Mackenzie. Always keen to push the boundaries so as to explore new paths, test and develop new technologies, and, last but not least, promote the promotion of gender parity in sport, Midori Moriwaki also entered the inaugural 2023 FIM E-Xplorer World Cup, ultimately securing the title with MIE Racing riders Sandra Gomez and Jorge Zaragoza aboard EMX XF30 machines.

About EMX

As a true motocross enthusiast and a former racer himself, Elmar Dohms recognized early on that the future of the sport is threatened by outside influences. To continue enjoying the thrill that motocross offers, he decided to develop a motocross bike with his company EMX Powertrain that offers the true feeling of motocross in a future-proof concept. Since 2018, EMX Powertrain has been engaged in developing a competitive electric motocross bike that combines the familiar feel of an existing motocross bike with a low-noise powertrain that allows motocross riders to enjoy their favorite sport even in the distant future. Participation in the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup is the next step for the company to prove that their concept can compete with the best manufacturers in the world in terms of electric all-terrain motorcycles.

Desert sled vibes: Shotgun style slip-ons for the Scrambler 1200 models

Shotgun style slip-ons for the Scrambler 1200 models

Desert sled vibes: Shotgun style slip-ons for the Scrambler 1200 models

[PRESS RELEASE] Famous for combining classic looks with off road capabilities, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 is popular among those who like to ride beyond the beaten paths while looking cool. To add to the desert-sled vibe, Hitchcox Motorcycles has engineered two sets of shotgun style slip-ons that add the right style and sound while shaving a significant amount of weight.

The Right Sound

When we say engineered, a big part of that is in finding the right sound to match the bike. Despite the minimalistic looks of these shotgun style exhausts, they incorporate specifically designed perforated tubes with dampening material that helps create the best acoustics. This allows Triumph’s big twin cylinder to be heard without being noisy. To bring DB levels down even further, both options for the Scrambler 1200 models come standard with removable DB-killers.

Two Different Styles

Knowing both options offer the Hitchcox Motorcycles sound, we have launched two different styles to choose from. Both styles can be ordered with an additional heat shield to increase the protective surface on the exhaust of the Scrambler 1200.

Raw Straight Cut Edge slip-ons
Reminiscing the origin of the desert sled concept, these straight cut slip-ons add to the minimalistic looks of a purpose-built off-road bike without adding unnecessary details. To ensure sound and style go hand in hand, these shotgun style slip-ons end on an uneven length to match the angle of the rear shock, and give a unique look to your bike.

Machined End Detail slip-ons
For those who look to add small details that create a big visual difference, we have engineered these shot gun style slip-ons with a machined end detail incorporated. Based on a skill we learned from engineering wastegates in formula 1, these small conical end details add visual flavor to your ride without being too obvious.

Materials & Mounting

All Hitchcox Motorcycles products are handcrafted in house in the UK. These slip-on systems are both carried out in A-grade 304 stainless steel with a brushed finish, meaning they are built to last. As part of our “Ready to Ride” catalogue, they are a direct replacement for the stock mufflers and come with all the necessary equipment needed to bolt them right on.

Euro 4 and Euro 5

Both options for the Scrambler 1200 XC and XE models are suitable for the Euro 4 and Euro 5 models.

EMX Powertrain writes history in FIM E-Xplorer World Cup

[PRESS RELEASE] The launch of the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup has created a new class in which electric all terrain motorcycles compete against each other in a championship format. The World Cup consists of 5 events, run on different terrains. At the opening round in Barcelona, riders Sandra Gomez and Jorge Zaragoza made history by winning the very first race ever. Their MIE Racing Electric team is participating in the first season of the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup with electric motocross bikes from the Dutch manufacturer EMX Powertrain.

FIM E-Xplorer World Cup

2023 marks the start of this championship, in which 8 teams with one female and one male rider each will compete in a season of 5 races to show what electric all-terrain motorcycles are capable of. During the season, the championship visits Spain, Switzerland, France, the United States and Asia. The championship races will be run on a variety of surfaces, making it clear from race to race which electric all-terrain bike has the advantage in concept.

Two teams, one goal

In addition to the Japanese MIE Racing Electric team that triumphed in Barcelona, Australia's FLAIR Riders team is also using the EMX XF30. Each team is supported by EMX Powertrain engineers throughout the season. Participation in the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup is in line with EMX Powertrain's goal of developing new technologies for future products. The championship contributes to the ambition to take emission-free racing to the next level, while focusing on diversity and equality. It is also a platform that showcases the potential of electric racing, and the quality of the competing motorcycles.

EMX XF30: ready to go

EMX Powertrain has been working on the development of their all-electric motocross bike since 2018. Thanks to a collaboration with the Dutch motorcycle association KNMV, ELEO Technologies and Yamaha Motor Europe, they have created a bike that combines the proven chassis of the Yamaha YZF with a high-performance electric powertrain. The EMX XF30 delivers 40hp and an impressive 720NM of torque thanks to the use of a 4500WH battery. The combination of the proven chassis with the EMX Powertrain developed drivetrain and associated battery management system has created a perfect balance. As a result, the EMX XF30 is an electric dirt bike in which the characteristics of a conventional dirt bike are retained, combined with a powerful yet silent electric powertrain.

Introducing Hitchcox Motorcycles: born from a career in Formula 1 Engineering

[PRESS RELEASE] Born from a decade of experience in Formula 1 and the love for riding classic inspired motorcycles
with a tune to match, we are proud to introduce the Hitchcox Motorcycles brand with a full lineup of
exhaust options for all Triumph’s from the Modern Classics range readily available.

Handcrafted in the UK

Every product from the Hitchcox Motorcycles range is engineered and handcrafted in the UK.
Located in Brackley across the street from the Mercedes AMG Formula 1 team facility, Hitchcox
Motorcycles uses engineering skills and techniques acquired in over a decade of working in Formula
1 to design handcrafted exhaust systems that come with a unique style and sound. A sound that is
not just available for one-off custom motorcycles.

Ready To Ride: The full Triumph Modern Classic Range

To connect true craftsmanship with consumer convenience, Hitchcox Motorcycles has engineered a
full lineup of exhaust options that serves all models from the Triumph Modern Classics range. Each
product is handmade, but thanks to efficient engineering and the use of model specific jigs, they are
guaranteed to fit each model like an OEM aftermarket product while offering the look and feel only a
custom-made exhaust brings. Adding to the OEM feel is the package each Ready To Ride product
comes in, including all necessary mounting materials, gaskets and O2 sensors where applicable.

Each exhaust has been engineered to offer the Hitchcox Motorcycles sound, but in terms of style and
finish there is a lot to choose from in our Ready To Ride lineup. You can pick between lightweight
titanium or durable 304 Stainless Steel depending on the product, and headers can be either mandrel
bend or built up from pie-cut sections. And with sound and style both being at the forefront of the
Hitchcox Motorcycles promise, there is the option to go for a brushed stainless look or a deep black

From Bonneville to Thruxton and any model in between; there is a handcrafted Hitchcox Motorcycles product available for all models from Triumph’s Modern Classic range. From drag pipes to a reversed-
cone style, each Ready To Ride exhaust option offers a unique style and sound while shaving up to 9 kilograms in weight compared to the stock exhaust system.

Design Your Own

When any of the Hitchcox Motorcycles ready-to-ride options aren’t sufficient, the Design Your Own
option is there to bring to life even the most creative exhaust desires. Combining crafting skills with
engineering experience, we make sure each exhaust looks the way it should while making sure it
doesn’t affect the durability of the engine. Under the Design Your Own flag, Hitchcox Motorcycles
has helped bring to life to some of the most creative custom motorcycle designs. And for classic or
exotic motorcycles, it is a great solution to acquire a perfect recreation of an exhaust system that is
no longer available.

Meet the Maker: Bike Shed Motorcycle Show 2023

are happy to welcome you on our stand to show you how we work, and to hear about any creative
exhaust ideas you have in mind. And of course show you how our handcrafted exhaust options look
on beautifully designed custom motorcycles.

About Hitchcox Motorcycles

Hitchcox Motorcycles was founded in 2022 by Tom Hitchcox, an exhaust engineer in Formula 1
during weekdays and an avid rider on the weekends. Having put his skills to works on his own custom
motorcycles, Tom married these two parts of his life together when starting Hitchcox Motorcycles.
With the ambition to make the highest level of exhaust engineering available for motorcycle
enthusiasts that look for nothing but the best, Hitchcox Motorcycles offers off the shelf solutions for
all Triumph’s from the Modern Classic range with the Ready To Ride options. For anyone looking
beyond these options, the Design Your Own option is there to bring virtually any exhaust idea for any
bike to life.
