JPR Performance ventured to Indianapolis this weekend to check out the 2012 Dealer Expo. This year’s event had a lot to see with over 700 companies set up to show the industry their latest offerings. The Indianapolis convention center was so packed that it was easy to get lost in the maze of beautiful bikes, gorgeous promo models and innovative products.
Our favorite new bike of the show was BRD’s Redshift MX’er. Weighing in at 250 pounds and pumping out 65 hp, this electric shredder should give emissions leaking gas-powered equivalents a run for their money. Hopefully we will get a chance to see that next season.
Our friends at Nexx-USA released their newest helmet, the X-70 three quarter lid. With a more rounded shell shape, Tri-Composite shell construction, flip down internal visor and super plush lining, it is sure to be a hit with the retro crowd.
Some of the industries biggest personalities were on hand this weekend as well. We ran into Josh Herrin and Aaron Colton hanging out at the Bell Helmet display watching Skratch paint some custom lids. Josh sealed the deal to ride for Bell Helmets for another two years. He is stoked to be moving up the premiere AMA Superbike class along side Josh Hayes for the upcoming season. Aaron has a busy year ahead with over 74 appearances and events scheduled around the world in 2012.
JPR products were also spotted at the show on Pharaoh’s sweet custom R6 on display at the Michelin tire booth. If you weren’t able to make it out this weekend check out the gallery to see some of what you missed though you wont see any pics from the industry after party at the Red Garter strip club. Give us a call to hear about that one!
