This time last year, four people were 6+ months out from quitting their day jobs and committing their life savings to building a better motocrosser.
To save time and money in the long run, they skipped test mules and went straight to a fully aesthetic and fully functional prototype. It was a huge gamble. By April, they had revised every single piece of January’s design and started building. By July it was assembled and running, and in August they unveiled it to the world.
