HILLSDALE, Mich., (Dec. 2, 2016) – All-American kids on best American-made competition mini cycles around. Six championships in six classes. The incredible racing heritage of Cobra Moto continued this past week/weekend with a thorough 50cc podium-dominating effort at the legendary Thor Winter Olympics held at Gatorback MX Park in Gainesville, Fla.

Kids on Cobras had such a strong showing at Gatorback, winning not only all six 50cc divisions, all six 1^st & 2^nd place efforts, but also taking an incredible 17 of 18 possible podium spots – including an unprecedented six class victories from five different kids. It was, to say the least, a Cobra Moto podium festival @ Gatorback!

“Wow. What a week. Congrats from everyone at the Cobra Moto factory to all the Cobra Kids that participated, and a big high-five to all that raced to podium finishes,” said Cobra Moto President Sean Hilbert. “From launching our new CX65 to helping everyone on Cobras at the Mini Os with our factory support rig, Gatorback is always a huge event for us. And to come away with the entire class victories was just incredible.”

Cobra Moto’s top performer on the weekend in the 50cc junior classes was local Floridian Seth Dennis. The Cobra CX50JR pilot, who earlier in the year won the Loretta’s 4-6 championship, was undefeated in MX and SX competition at Gatorback – going 1^st/1^st/1^st/1^st in four motos. Illinois racer Mikah Carpenter, kept Dennis honest, racing to a well-deserved runner-up position to Dennis in both the 51cc 4-6 Limited SX and MX classes.

On the Cobra Moto CX50SR bikes it’d be a couple Johnsons – Florida’s Bradyn Johnson (MX) and Utah’s Kade Johnson (SX) – that would sweep the 51cc 4-8 Limited classes, with Kade Johnson podiuming (3^rd) in the MX class as well. And in the premier 51cc 7-8 Limited class MX division, Tennessee’s Drew Adams would race to the win over 2^nd place Kade Johnson, while Pennsylvania’s Luke Fauser raced his CX50SR to victory over runner-up (again) Kade Johnson in the 51cc 7-8 Limited SX class.

Cobra & Bel-Ray! from Sean Hilbert on Vimeo.

HILLSDALE, Mich., (Nov. 18, 2016) – One of America’s longest-running amateur motocross events, the 2017 Thor Winter Olympics, presented by Pro Circuit, at Gainesville’s (Fla.) Gatorback Cycle Park, is the destination for all things Cobra Moto next week (Nov. 21-26). Cobra’s factory support rig hit the road today, full of every Cobra CX part imaginable, along with an engineering and tech staff available to every kid there that’s racing the legendary American-made Cobra mini cycles.

Also along for the ride, and making its debut on the national amateur motocross circuit, is the highly anticipated 2017 Cobra Moto CX65.

“Thanksgiving with the Cobra Moto families from all over the USA – doesn’t get much better than that for Cobra’s factory support staff,” said Cobra Moto President Sean Hilbert. “The Mini Os is an event Cobra Moto looks forward to every year, acts as a highly important gauge for our engineering team and allows us to make a big splash with new product – this year being the debut of our all-new CX65.”

Packed full of American Made parts, the “radically re-designed” CX65, according to Hilbert, features an array of improvements, including:

• All-new top end, exhaust, transmission and brakes.
• Improved clutch, featuring a re-designed hydraulic actuator that’s more reliable and requires less maintenance.
• The most horsepower in its class, “not just in peak, but also the broadest and smoothest power delivery,” according to Hilbert.
• All-new computer controlled electronic power valve.
• Only bike in its class with a full cartridge fork.
• Answer/Pro Taper bars.
• Dunlop MX51s.
• Topped off with Bel-Ray’s industry-leading brake, shock, fork & air filter oil, transmission fluid and bearing grease.
• Bullet-proof wheels made in Cobra’s factory and exclusive to the CX65.
• Appointed billet goodies everywhere.

Along with the new CX65 under the Cobra Moto factory rig canopy, those attending the Mini Os can watch the action as it happens, “Live,” with racing, timing and scoring on multiple large high definition monitors. Cobra Moto’s engineering and tech crew – the guys who actually designed the parts and build the bikes – knowing them beyond inside and out – are there to assist all Cobra Moto racers and families, featuring a truckload of parts and accessories at their fingertips.

“Good luck next week from everybody at the Cobra Moto factory here in Michigan,” added Hilbert.

Cobra Moto’s Luke Fauser on the LL podium

HILLSDALE, Mich., (Aug. 9, 2016) – Kids on the American-made Cobra Moto competition minicycles stepped up big at the world’s No. 1 amateur motocross competition this past week/weekend at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, the 35^th running of the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Amateur Motocross Championships, presented by AMSOIL. And in doing so despite tough conditions for everyone (and the little bikes in particular), captured the main 50cc class championships in sweeping fashion, while scoring key podium and top five class finishes in the 65cc classes as well.

The standout performance for Cobra Moto at Loretta’s was Pennsylvania’s Luke Fauser, capturing the 7-8 51cc Limited title. Fauser, a Cobra Moto factory elite racer, was topped in the opening moto by fellow Cobra Moto Factory Works Edition (FWE) pilot Jaden Palmer (New Jersey), but would rally back to win the next two motos, parlaying his 3^rd/1^st/1^st performance into a national championship. Palmer and Cobra Moto’s Mason Tucker (Pennsylvania) would make it a clean FWE 50SR sweep in the class, rounding out the podium in 2^nd and 3^rd places, respectively.

Cobra Moto kids on the industry-leading 50JRs would fair just as well, with Florida’s Seth Dennis sweeping top honors (1^st/1^st/1^st), while Illinois’ Mikah Carpenter (2^nd) and Iowa’s Miles McCarty (3^rd), who overcame a crash in the final moto (42^nd to 8^th), rounded out the podium in that class. And new for 2016 at Loretta’s – the 51cc 4-6 Special Edition class – it’d be North Carolinian Walker Herndon standing on the podium in 3^rd.

In all, Cobra Moto racers swept seven of the nine possible podium spots, 13 of 15 possible top five spots and 22 of 30 top ten spots!

“It was a banner week for our 50cc kids and the new Factory Works Edition bikes. We couldn’t be more pleased,” said Cobra Moto President Sean Hilbert. “Congrats to Luke and Seth on their 50cc championships, as well as the legions of Cobra Moto kids that qualified for Loretta’s this year.”

On the 65s at Loretta’s Cobra Moto was led in the 7-9 Limited class by Michigan’s Cole Kish on his CX65. Kish would win the opening moto, then raced consistently for an overall 3^rd place podium finish. Arizona’s Julien Beaumer would also run well, placing 7^th – thanks to a podium 3^rd place finish in the final moto. And in the 7-11 65 class it’d be Cobra Moto’s Parker Ross (Calif.) battling to a hard-fought 5^th place overall finish. Ross then backed that up with a 7^th overall in the 65cc 10-11 Limited class.

Noteworthy: Cobra Moto factory racer Casey Cochran (Tennessee) would battle bike setup issues all week long, but finished strong in both the 7-9 and 7-11 65cc classes, as did Trevor Colip (Ind.) who overcame a gnarly strep infection in his leg to score a couple top ten moto finishes in the 10-11 Limited class.

Loretta Lynn's 2016 Cobra Moto Champs Video from Sean Hilbert on Vimeo.

HILLSDALE, Mich., (July 28, 2016) – Expect big things from the little guys on the American-made Cobra Moto bikes this coming week as the world’s best amateur motocross racers descend upon moto-friendly country & western great Loretta Lynn’s ranch for the 35^th running of the

Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Amateur Motocross Championships, presented by AMSOIL.

Ready to add yet another illustrious chapter into the legendary heritage of the Cobra Moto marque at the world’s most prestigious amateur motocross event, local Tennessean Casey Cochran – the defending Loretta’s 51cc Sr. class champion – will lead the Cobra Moto attack on the always-challenging Loretta’s course, piloting the new Cobra Moto CX65 to new heights as he steps up from the 50s to contest the 7-9 and 7-11 65cc classes.

“Casey’s story was amazing last year. And, as an encore, we’ve been looking forward all summer long to seeing him race the Cobra Moto CX65 against the class’ other top racers and brands,” said Sean Hilbert, President of Cobra Moto, noting Cochran’s return in ’15 from an injury in April to win Loretta’s on his CX50SR. “Loretta’s is the true test of racers and bikes. It’s where all of Cobra Moto’s tireless R&D and sourcing of American-made components comes together in one amazing week of competition in the heart of Tennessee.”

Returning for Cobra Moto to contest the 65cc 10-11 class are team racers Parker Ross, who placed 4^th last year in the 65cc 7-9 class, and the always-fast Noah Geyer. And stepping up to contest the 7-9 65 class this year are Cobra Moto team racers Julien “JuJu” Beaumer and Cole Kish, along with top amateurs Jesse James Parkey and Brayden Calderon. All will all be working to run up front in the class with teammate Cochran.

There’ll be a whole host of returning stars in the 50cc Sr. class for Cobra Moto at Loretta’s this year as no less than eight kids have a solid shot at the Sr. class podium. Veteran team riders Luke Fauser, Mason Dixon, and Mason Tucker will compete with some of the world’s top seven-year-olds on the CX50SR bikes, including Canyon Richards, Drew Adams and last year’s 51cc Jr. Loretta’s champion – Will Canaguier. Other top Cobra Moto prospects rounding out the class include Diesel Thomas, Cade Johnson and Parkey.

“This is one of those years where Cobra Moto will be very deep in terms of experience in the 50cc Sr. class,” added Hilbert. “We list our team guys here, but you never know who’s going to step up on their CX50SR and challenge for the title. It’s always a thrilling sidebar to see how that plays out each and every summer at Loretta’s.”

And if you thought it was tough to call the seven and nine-year-olds on the 50s, the four-to-six year olds are anyone’s guess! Cobra Moto team riders Seth Dennis and Mikah Carpenter lead a field of Cobra Moto privateers gunning for team positions in the coming years. Top riders – as far as we can tell at this point from that crew – include: Seven Henderson, Johnathan Getz, Mason Raynor and Brandon Eade.

Additionally, Cobra Moto racer will be tearing up the track in a class that’s new to Cobra at the Ranch – the 51cc Special Limited class. “There will be some further excitement this year with the new Cobra CX50P3 competing at this event for the first time,” added Hilbert.

Factory support at Loretta’s … Cobra Moto will have technicians and engineers from the factory to provide service to your race machines. We will provide many services to ensure your bike is at 100%. Including, carburetor jetting, clutch inspection/adjustment/replacement, CFD adjustment, top end service, along with a host of other services required.

The Cobra semi will be stocked with parts and supplies that will be offered at a 20% discount. Cobra gear will also be available. We will also have a large selection of Bel-Ray products for your total performance lubricant needs.

Up next for Cobra: 2017 bike unveiling, Aug. 2^nd, at the Loretta’s pavilion.
