Geico Motorcycle EnduroCross races begin with riders lining up behind a gate, just as they do in Supercross

EnduroCross is a form of motorcycle racing that blends some of the most exciting elements of motorcycle competition from Supercross, Trials, and Enduro racing. Endurocross racing is typically held indoors in an arena where fans can see all the thrills and spills. An EnduroCross course incorporates multiple elements found in off-road riding such as jumps, rocks, boulders, logs, sand, mud, a water hole and anything else the course designer wants to throw at competitors. It has been described as the “toughest racing on two wheels”. EnduroCross is an exciting spectator sport and was added to the X Games in 2011.

To get around the course quickly AMA EnduroCross fueled by Monster Energy racers turn logs into a series of jumps

K&N Performance Filters has partnered with AMA Geico Motorcycle EnduroCross fueled by Monster Energy as the official Air Filter and Oil Filter for the 2014 season. John Jump, Powersports Brand Manager for K&N, said this partnership exists because “We have watched the EnduroCross series grow over the years and thoroughly enjoy each of the events, the obstacles, and the excitement it creates for the fans.” Jump continued to say “K&N Filters are a great fit for EnduroCross racers and fans alike. We look forward to bringing awareness of our full line of products during the 2014 series.”

Rocks and boulders are difficult even for professional Geico Motorcycle EnduroCross competitors

Lance Bryson, Director of Marketing and Sales for EnduroCross is quoted as saying “K&N has a great legacy in all forms of motorsports so we are extremely proud to have them join the EnduroCross family for 2014.” Bryson went on to say “The Geico EnduroCross Series is all about quick acceleration, short bursts of power, and unwavering throttle response. With K&N High-Flow Air Filters, off-road riders can expect all of that.”

The 2014 Geico Motorcycle EnduroCross fueled by Monster Energy season travels the U.S. beginning in Las Vegas, Nevada and ending in Ontario, California. The full schedule of events is listed below. Ticket information can be found on the EnduroCross website. If EnduroCross isn’t heading to your area in 2014, check with your TV service provider to find show times.

More horsepower and torque for second generation Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Chrysler 300 with a Hemi V8 engine

The Chrysler LX platform based 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger and Magnum could be considered a U-turn in new car engineering when it was released in 2005. Auto manufacturers had shifted nearly all their cars to front wheel drive and very few offered V8 engine options. Chrysler and Dodge made a bold, but successful move, when their engineers used many Mercedes-Benz components in their design. Sadly the Dodge Magnum has been discontinued; yet the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger live on and are now in their second generation of production.

Stop searching for cold air intakes, Performance Air Intake System 63-1114 from K&N Filters is here for second generation Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Chrysler 300 with a Hemi V8 engine

While a 5.7 liter Hemi V8 engine commands respect in stock trim, many owners are searching for a Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger or Dodge Charger cold air intake to increase power. If you’re that owner, look no further than K&N’s 63-1114 Performance Air Intake System. The 63-1114 is expert-engineered and guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque. It replaces the restrictive factory system with a free-flowing, high-density polyethylene air intake tube to help minimize restriction, straighten, and increase airflow to the engine. More air means more usable power throughout the engine’s RPM range.

K&N’s RF-1042 conical performance air filter is fitted to the inlet of the K&N K&N 63-1114 Performance Air Intake System to provide excellent airflow rates as well as outstanding filtration efficiency. The filter is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Additionally, 63-1114 incorporates a heat shield which helps to direct relatively cold air entering through the factory inlet into the K&N Performance Air Filter, number RF-1042.
