TEAM SPONSORS
Honda Rider's Club of America
The HRCA is one of the country's most prestigious motorcycle clubs, with more than 130,000 members and 200 chapters nationwide. Open to all owners of Honda motorcycles and ATVs, the HRCA offers one of the most comprehensive benefits packages in the industry, and is involved in more than 60 events annually. In addition to being a team sponsor, the HRCA also sponsors several high-performance riding schools--including Gary Bailey's motocross school, Danny Walker's dirt track school, Freddie Spencer's school and Reg Pridmore's CLASS school--where HRCA members get special tuition rates. Since its inception, the HRCA has supported Honda's off-road racing effort with staffing and pit crew support at longer races.
Pro Honda Oils and Chemicals
Honda's winning XR650R encounters some of the worst conditions imaginable during a race, so the team uses Pro Hondaª Oils and Chemicals to combat the extreme punishment meted out by the long, grueling events. Engine oils, chain lubricant, brake fluid and a full line of maintenance and service products are used by the team to keep the XR650R going from start to finish.
Dunlop
The exclusive tire sponsor of the Honda Off-Road Racing Team, Dunlop has built a remarkable reputation by winning championships in every form of motorcycle racing.
Answer Products The ProTaper aluminum handlebar on Johnny Campbell's XR650R is made by Answer Products. Due to varied wall thickness at various points, a ProTaper handlebar is light and strong, yet also flexes slightly to help reduce rider fatigue, an important benefit in long-distance events.
Acerbis
A longtime sponsor (since 1986, in fact), Acerbis supplies plastic handguards, fork protectors, bike stands and other items to the team. In addition, Acerbis also produces the ARS riding gear and casual apparel worn by Johnny Campbell and Jonah Street.
D.I.D
Now in its sixth year with the team and a recognized leader in chain technology, D.I.D supplies high-performance O-ring chains for the XR650R race bikes, as well as chains and rims for many of Honda's production machines.
IMS
Long-distance racing puts an emphasis on quick pit stops, and the dry-break refueling system pioneered by Honda ensures the large-capacity IMS fuel tanks are refilled in seconds. IMS fuel tanks, dry-break fittings and corresponding refueling containers can be purchased by anyone.
K&N
In addition to being a hostile environment for racers, the desert can be deadly to engines, especially if a fraction of the sand or silt encountered during a typical race were to make its way inside. K&N air filters employ a unique oiled pleated gauze element that is remarkably efficient, durable and consistent in its performance. K&N has been part of the Honda team for nearly 20 years.
Research Group 3 (RG3)
A former racer himself in his native New Zealand, Rob Henricksen of Research Group 3 has 17 years of experience working with racing motorcycle suspension systems. This is RG3's second year of helping Honda's Off-Road Team when it comes time to test and service the Kayaba suspension components on Johnny Campbell's XR650R. RG3 will accompany the team to select events. RG3 also offers its suspension services to the public.
Renthal
More world and national championships have been won with Renthal's premium-quality lightweight aluminum rear sprockets and durable steel countershaft sprockets than with any other chainwheels. The British company also provides the comfortable, long-lasting grips used by the team for the past four years.
Factory Effex
Graphics kits and decals from Factory Effex give the factory Honda off-road XRs their finished, striking appearance. Factory Effex is a second-year team sponsor and also provides graphics to several high-profile motocross teams, as well as everyday enthusiasts.
BRP
BRP provides upper triple-clamps that allow multiple handlebar location options for each individual on the team, as well as a number of aircraft-quality aluminum guards used on team bikes.
VP Racing Fuels
With engines put under enormous stress and strain for hours at a time, it's imperative the Honda Off-Road Team have plenty of consistent-quality fuel for its XR650Rs to help the motors achieve peak performance.VP Racing Fuels produces a wide variety of competition-quality fuels that meet the team's specifications, and they're also available to discerning enthusiasts.
Precision Concepts
Bob Bell of Precision Concepts provides bike preparation as well as suspension services for Honda's off-road team. This is Precision Concepts' third year as a team sponsor.
Kayaba
Kayaba manufactures stock suspension components for the XR650R, and provides technical assistance for the team.
