The MTA Distributing crew held its annual Shot Race Gear intro in Southern California recently, and we couldn’t have picked a better location ourselves.
Shot took over an entire motocross facility and opened up their new gear boxes for the media to sample. Even though the temperatures were soaring, we still managed to have a good time. Maybe it was the pizza and donuts? Or, it could have been the private and awesomely prepped Milestone MX track.
Cycle News took advantage of the day to get some more laps in on the 2019 KTM 350 SX-F. But the gear stole the day with major updates across their product lineup.
Highlighting their new product offering for 2019, Shot has updated all four models of their pant/jersey/glove combos. From the premium Aerolite Delta Gear (the set we rode in) to the entry level Devo set, Shot has gear for every rider and every budget.
Our favorite was the all-new Husqvarna collaboration gear inspired by the Extreme Enduro antics of Graham Jarvis. We didn’t have a Husqvarna there that day, but if we did that mannequin would have been stripped! If you’re looking for massively vented/see-through gear, check out the wide-open Aerolite Optica Vented Gear.
We’ve been impressed with how well the Shot apparel fits in the past, and the 2019 lineup looks to follow suit.
