RhinoMoto customers sometimes become unwilling product testers. Send us pictures of your bike so you can join the elite corps of crash testers, and we’ll send you a free set of replacement sliders if we choose you as the Crash Tester of the Month! This month’s crash tester is Vito from the tracks of Texas. Vito has made this month’s CTOM by being the first rider to test the same pair of fork sliders TWICE. Good work, Vito. You’ve definitely earned a new set of sliders! - Editor

Vito - crash #1

I have another testimony for using as many sliders as you can possibly buy. Here are some photos my recent low-side at Pueblo. I was coming out of turn 5 and "I think" I lost the front end, but I was on the ground quickly. The bike just tipped over, slid on the right side, and came to rest on the track. It didn't hit anything, didn't go off the pavement, and didn't flip, so this is what happens when you just slide on pavement. I was in the top of 3rd gear at the time, maybe 50mph or so.This is the VERY COOL Rhino fork slider. Notice there is no damage to the fork.

Vito - crash #2

I was at Oak Hill Raceway in Henderson, Texas for a practice day in preparation for the coming weekend CMRA races. I glanced up before entering turn 1, the fastest turn. That lapse of concentration allowed me to run a little wide in T1. I got into the marbles and the front instantly tucked. I was probably doing somewhere between 70-80 mph when I low-sided.

The bike went somewhere between hitting the track, sliding ~20 feet on the pavement and then making it's way another 15 feet into the grass as it spun 180 degrees on it's side. The Rhinomoto fork sliders did their job, no damage at all to my Ohlins fork lowers. This week I'll be going to AF1 to pick a pair of Rhinomoto rear axle swingarm sliders to replace the spool/swingarm sliders.Attached are some damage photos. Thanks for the great product.
