Swedish electric motorbike company CAKE has announced a number of newsworthy items for 2021. For 2021, the company has announced its CAKE Connect app as well as a collaboration with Dometic for a temperature-controlled food delivery box designed specifically for CAKE’s Ösa model making the electric utilitarian two-wheeler an excellent choice for inner-city food delivery. In addition, CAKE’s partnership with the Southern African Wildlife College to enact the Electric Bush Bike Anti-Poaching Act aims to provide teams with machines that can be recharged with solar energy. 

SA1NT has new distribution in North America. At one point, Revzilla was selling the Australian motorcycle apparel in the U.S. but has since discontinued its involvement with the brand. A quick perusal of the internet shows mixed reviews from consumers and journalists alike. Hopefully, at some point in the future, Motorcycle.com will have the opportunity to test SA1NT’s gear for ourselves. 

The 43rd edition of the Dakar Rally is underway in Saudi Arabia. We’ll be sharing daily updates from our friends at WESTx1000. Stay tuned. 

Love it or hate it, the MotoAmerica is growing the Bagger class in 2021.

I knew it was coming and now it’s finally here – sort of. Triumph has just released a teaser video for the all-new Speed Triple 1200 RS. The current Speed Triple was starting to get long in the tooth, so we had a feeling an updated version was on the way. But at the time of the Most Anticipated article Triumph hadn’t let any information loose about the new bike.

Australian enduro ace Toby Price was running well in the top three of this year’s Paris-Dakar Rally even after having suffered through a series of unfortunate events. One of them was a rear tire that appeared to have been attacked by a chainsaw or something, but must’ve been just a BSR – Big Sharp Rock. Did that keep Toby down? It did not. If you’re an aspiring enduro rider, watch and learn. Being able to make field-expedient repairs is critical in many forms of human endeavor. Especially crazy ones like Paris-Dakar.

Your stock 108 cubic-inch liquid-cooled PowerPlus engine in Indian’s excellent Challenger delivers 122 horsepower and 128 ft-lbs. of torque, claims Indian. By pairing these new Stage 2 Performance Cams with Indian’s PowerPlus Stage 1 Air Intake and Stage 1 Slip-On Exhaust, “riders will experience the unquestionable sensation of increased power the moment they twist the throttle,” to the tune of 10%. We were assured there would be no math, but that should be 12 more hp and 13 more ft-lbs. (Our stocker made 95 hp and 112 ft-lbs at the rear wheel in our Dec. 2019 Indian/H-D comparison.)

Back in November, we shared a story from our friends at Can-Am and the Road Warrior Foundation that announced the opening of their giveaway of a Can-Am Spyder F3-S. The winner has now been chosen. Congratulations to Aubrey Hand and thank you for your service.

It’s hard to believe, but Pirelli has been making the Diablo line since 2002 and the Diablo Rosso family since 2008. In that time over 5 million Diablo Rosso tires have been sold.

I think the last time I rode with Jimmy Lewis was when the Honda XR200 was new, and we were both employed at Cycle World magazine. But I remember being astounded at the kid’s sense of direction, since I have none, in the middle of nowhere. Now that there’s GPS and all that, it may be even more important to be able to navigate by the seat of your pants. There’s a fun story about our homegrown Paris-Dakar  riders Ricky Brabec and Andrew Short training with Jimmy from his ranch in Nevada, here at NBCsports.com.

KLIM is on the gas into the new year with new men’s and women’s gear for 2021. 

The Trail version of the Leoncino classic scrambler adds wire-spoked wheels, more suspension travel, and different tires for a more off-road personality.

No word whether or not we’ll be seeing these models Stateside at this time.

A clever and convenient tool for quick maintenance. 

New Agreement Features Even More Coverage Of North America’s Premier Motorcycle Road Racing Series

The Ducati Museum is a must-see for any motorcycle fan, but if you can’t make it in person, now you can get a complete tour online.

Funny how I was able to spend all these years mostly not even aware of the most mass-produced motorcycle on the planet – Honda’s Super Cub and its offshoots over the last six decades. But now that Honda’s importing CTs to the US again, and we had the chance to “test” one a few weeks ago, I’m freshly cognizant of just how ubiquitous the most mass-produced vehicle on earth really is.

Sanz is back for another shot at the Dakar.

You have their bike (or maybe you don’t), now you can also have Triumph’s technical riding apparel. 

While many were busy debating first the existence, and then the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, others were busting their humps at great personal risk to render aid and save lives. Hats off to Dunlop for recognizing one of them, Darwin Longfellow, with the excellent gift of a shiny new Harley-Davidson Roadster. Congratulations, Ms. Longfellow, and thank you for your service from the bottom of our MO heart.

The stars of KTM’s MotoGP development team are continuing for another year.

Well, that didn’t take long…

Muc-Off continues to broaden its product line. 

Look for a review of the INNOV K5 Dash Cam coming soon to Motorcycle.com. 

The V7 gets a needed update for 2021, with more sophisticated styling and the V85 engine. We think it looks pretty nice. 

Three electric bicycle models from Ducati will be available in the United States at select dealers.

Not included in the press release below is the fact that, starting in the 2021 model year, all the MV Agusta three-cylinder platforms will benefit from upgraded electronics, including a six-axis IMU, Continental Cornering-ABS, launch control, rear lift mitigation, traction/slip control, front lift control (MV emphasized this was different from wheelie control in that it maximizes drive from the rear wheel instead of managing wheelies. Take that with a grain of salt if you wish). 

The Pan America is slated for its own separate reveal in February.

The all-new Trident 660 and Tiger 850 Sport will be on display in select dealers – but you won’t be able to start them.

Spidi’s latest jackets provide all the protection and all-weather protection you expect, without looking like your traditional motorcycle jacket.

Because there’s no replacement for displacement.

The 2021 Husqvarna FC 450 Rockstar Edition is probably the closest thing to a factory ride most of us will get. 

In 2021 the Progressive International Motorcycle Shows are going outdoors.

Energica’s partnership agreement aimed at producing powertrains for other applications.

The Austrian’s dish out some high-performance eye-candy in the 2021 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition.

The all-electric off-road enthusiasts at Volcon invite you to join in a round of funding.

Bagging a number 1 plate at any age is something. Doing it at age 81 is remarkable. 

Lots of rubber options for the Multistrada V4, depending on how seriously you want to take it to the dirt.

The KLIM Kodiak Jacket has undergone some technical updates to make it more adept at touring no matter what conditions are thrown its way. 

Rottweiler Performance has announced its kit to help open up your 790 or 890 Adventure’s intake system for optimal performance. 

Most of the benefits of a brand new Triumph, but without the sticker shock.

Here’s a small token of appreciation from Cardo Systems to military, veteran, and first responders.

Indian’s video series for the eFTR Hand It Down campaign continues with this, episode two, featuring motocross legend, stunt rider, and world record holder Robbie Madison and his two kids, Kruz and Jagger.

Do you ride a KTM 1290 Super Duke R? Do you want social media fame and attention? Maybe give this KTM Ultimate Duke Rider contest a try.

Want to go faster at the track? Use the money you planned to spend on that exhaust on yourself with YCRS.

We’ve never had an iXS helmet, you? But we’ve seen plenty of them on people’s heads in the old country. They’re designed in Switzerland, so how bad could they be? The latest is this iXS1100 2.2 lid, which iXS describes as “an excellent all-rounder” with an “optimal price-performance ratio.” It doesn’t get much more optimal than $119 US for a nice full-face helmet that’s ECE approved.

Maybe the motorcycle division got tired of the marine division begging them to put a GSX-R1000 engine on a boat…

Harley-Davidson wants YOU to share your love of riding this holiday season.
