Though Chris Borich has long ago clinched the XC1 season championship, the world’s top cross-country racers still have plenty to fight for at the season finale of the 2012 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series – the Parts Unlimited Loretta Lynn’s GNCC in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.

Last round, Ballance Racing Yamaha’s Walker Fowler became the fourth unique winner in the XC1 Pro ATV class, while Bowers Motorcycle/Coastal National Guard/Yokley Racing’s Jarrod McClure and Motoworks/Can-Am’s Chris Bithell came close to grabbing their first wins of the season as well. Four-time and current champ Chris Borich hasn’t been able to continue his win-streak the last couple of rounds, which has left the door open for other riders to land a spot in the middle of the podium.

The ever-expanding products and accessories lineup at Moose can add three more items to the list – a Can-Am Commander Roof, Adventure ATV Seat, and Legacy Tank Bag.

Can Am Commander Roof

Moose Utilities Division offers Can Am Commander owners a two-piece designed roof ($218.95). Made from polyethylene with UV stabilizers, the Roof is designed to be extremely durable in cold weather, while also providing riders protection from harsh sun rays in warm weather. The Can Am Commander Roof comes with all mounting hardware, fits all models, and is available for just $218.95.

Can-Am ATV and UTV racers picked up podium finishes in a variety of series this past weekend. At the Ironman GNCC, Cliff Beasley rode his Can-Am Renegade to victory in the U2 class and finished second overall in the morning session, while Tanner Bowles rode his Can-Am Outlander to a win in the 4×4 Open class and Can-Am DS 450 racer Chris Bithell finished third in the XC1 Pro ATV class.

At the final round of the New England ATV Motocross series in New York, 2012 Pro and Pro-Am class champion Josh Creamer earned two more podium finishes. In desert racing, Cory Sappington’s Desert Toyz / Can-Am team recently took a second place finish at the Best in the Desert Bluewater Desert Challenge in Parker, Ariz.

“Can-Am racers recently earned important victories and podium finishes in several events across the country. Cory Sappington’s second-place finish in the Parker, Ariz., was impressive. Josh Creamer battled through horrible mud in New York, to cap a perfect season in the NEATV Pro class,” says Jimmie O’Dell, race manager, Can-Am. “I was proud of the way our racers overcame the mud at the Ironman GNCC. Cliff Beasley was amazing in his U2 class win. It was also great to see 17-year-old Tanner Bowles win the 4×4 Open class.”

Polaris Defense is showcasing two advanced vehicle technologies, designed to address the U.S. military’s need for increased vehicle survivability, at the AUSA 2012 Annual Meeting & Exposition: a lightweight, advanced armor solution and non-pneumatic tires (NPT). The technologies are on display in Polaris Defense booth #3913 through Wednesday at the Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C.

“We take our role as a defense provider very seriously and as a result have identified two critical survivability challenges, invested in the development of effective countermeasures and are delivering them to the customer,” says Richard Haddad, Polaris Defense general manager. “We can meet the military’s need for cost-effective, robust solutions by providing lightweight, advanced armor technology and non-pneumatic tires that will help increase the survivability and prolong the life of the U.S. Military’s expansive tactical wheeled vehicle fleet.”

Safety should be of paramount importance to ATV riders and one way to help improve your chances of walking away from a crash on the track or trail is to wear a neck brace. Fly Racing has recently introduced the all-new second generation Valor Neck Brace engineered by Leatt.

“The Valor combines state-of-the-art Leatt neck brace technology with FLY Racing’s cutting edge graphic design styling,” Fly Racing says in a release.

New features for the Valor included a new sculptured, split front for improved comfort and fit; new lower front section for improved helmet clearance for looking down and to the sides; new one-piece, fracture engineered CoreFlex rear thoracic strut for improved comfort and fit; new on-board three-angle rear thoracic strut adjustment that requires no extra parts; new body-matched rear thoracic strut angles.

The Valor, which will be available in December, retails for $359.95 and comes in small, medium, large or extra-large. Color options include black/white, red/black, blue/black, and orange/black.
