RFX performance parts tested in the heat of competition
As part of this new partnership, the Quad Lock Honda team’s CRF450R and CRF250R race bikes will be outfitted with RFX’s premium hard parts - from ultra-durable F7 & F8 Taper bars to precision-engineered levers and controls. Each round of AMA Supercross and Motocross now becomes a proving ground for these components, pushing them to the limit in the most demanding race conditions. The feedback from elite riders like McElrath, Wilson, Savatgy and Connolly will feed directly into RFX’s product development cycle, ensuring that our designs remain truly race-proven. RFX engineers work hand-in-hand with our sponsored teams, using insights from real races to refine and perfect every product. In other words, every whoop section, triple jump and holeshot won is not just a victory for the team, it’s valuable data that helps RFX deliver even better performance and durability to riders everywhere.
