It's the Renthal Reaction Show for Breaking Moto News, hot topics, and Moto by the minute.

Welcome everybody to another edition of the Renthal Reaction podcast.

The news dropped today.

Rockstar Energy Heskevarner will cease being a team at the end of this year.

And yeah, a real bummer for the pits for sure. The KTM group obviously no longer with the Gas Gas Team and now Rockstar Energy Huskovarna. So we'll talk about that and a little silly season stuff as well. Thank you to the folks at Renthal. Lock on grips doing really well right now for those guys. $99 gets you free shipping direct from Renthal. Now they've got mountain bike clippless pedals they've introduced. Of course, bars, sprockets, all of that. And if you're a fan of lock on grips, which I was not, try the Rentals, man. They do work a little better. They do feel good. Renthal's got some really neat stuff going on there. Lots of patterns and colors and textures and things like that.

So rentall.com, check out the site, and $99.9 get you free shipping. With me to talk about Rocksarngy, Hesgavarner folding up is Paul Peribinos. What's up, Paul? How are you, man? Hey, Steve. How's it going? How are you? I'm good, man. Yeah, listen, bummer news we heard today.

But on the other hand, Paul, you and I both been on the phone a little bit today, trying to get some information on this. Like, I'm not that surprised because, again, with the financial stuff going on with KTM, they're basically racing white KTMs. They're racing red ones.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense when KTM is your racing brand to do this.

So unfortunately, it does kind of make sense, Paul.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's a lot of things.

I think it's a sign of the times, not just globally, like inflation-wise, just in the industry as well.

And, yeah, this basically mimics what they have been, what they are doing in Europe, right?

They don't have an in-house team over there, too.

They send bikes and parts to nest on, and they're the official Husky effort. And now it sounds like, yeah, they're going to do that, too, here in the U.S., yeah?

So, yeah, I think the biggest impact beyond, like, obviously the riders on the team is, like,

you know, Paul Deloria and Nate Dog and Murf and, like, those types of guys.

Those are the guys that really are going to have to try to find a new place here before end of October.

Well, the person I spoke to for some information, it does sound like a lot of that team is

moving over to a 250 team, KTM 250 team.

So it'll be Ryder D and Dax Benick joining Beaum on a K KTM 250 team and they'll merge people together and
