Discovery Channel's Ultimate Biker Challenge: Supermoto

 

The guys from the French Motorcycle website Mototribu have a nice section of Supermoto pics and videos. A couple of days ago they uploaded the Supermoto episode of Discovery Channel's Ultimate Biker Challenge tv show.

The show is one of the best motorcycling TV shows I've ever seen. It features Journalist and TV presenter Warren Pole (yes he can actually ride pretty well) going on a trip around Europe to complete several challenges like competing in a stunt competition, riding the Erzberg enduro and racing a drag bike. The best episode is the one where Warren gets trained by Supermoto Champion Fred Fiorentino to compete in the Mettet Superbiker. If you want to watch the episode go here and click on the little triangle in the bottom left corner in the video player and then select 23 lecon de supermoto.

I really recommend watching this episode!

New Supermotodaz Quickshifter

 

Our partner Supermotodaz has a new quickshifter for sale especially made for Supermoto models.

The Quickshifter works by measuring the force applied to the gear lever and automatically shifts gears when the rider initiates a shift. This means perfect and instant gear changes at any throttle position without hutting off the gas or using the clutch every time, resulting in listering starts as well as easy and instant shifts during the race, giving you an edge on every gear shift. See Supermotodaz for models available, more models are being manufactured at the moment so if yours is not shown please e-mail Supermotodaz for info.

Randy de Puniet enjoying Supermoto

Randy de Puniet took part in the Bomboogie Xtreme Supermotard race at the Bologna motorshow over the weekend, thoroughly enjoying the experience onboard a Honda 450CRF despite some bad weather at the event and coming home in eighth position.

The 27-year-old also met fans and signed autographs at the show before commenting, `I enjoyed myself very much during these two days. The bad weather conditions slowed down our pace but it was good training for me. The guys here are very fast because they have competed in the Supermoto championship for a long time and I never expected to end in the top ten.´
