New for 2007 from CHM Exhaust - 06-07 TRX 450R OVATE SYSTEM P/N 01-1414
On the dyno or on the track, this system delivers. Along with our works style header and alloy Ovate canister, our new adjustable end cap design offers increased performance while producing less sound than our original design. Feel the difference a quality tuned exhaust can make. Suggested Retail $549.00
A Closer Look
Check out our new FIM compliant end cap featuring a removable, adjustable stinger. Stainless rivet straps have been added for additional support and a new look. All of our systems come standard with a USFS approved spark arrestor. The best 4-wheeler on the market has just gotten better.
Each system is tested thoroughly to assure peak performance. Our high-strength 304 stainless exhaust headers are lightweight, yet ultra durable. Why pay more for titanium systems, which are only a few ounces lighter, more prone to breaking and cost 30-40 percent more? We feature Hi-Tech packing material for longer life with less sound.
In our first year on the market CHM Performance Exhaust systems dominated Cycle World magazine’s Super TT series winning titles in Premier, Open and Mini Motard classes, all with different riders. Move to the front of the pack with CHM Performance Exhausts.

An Intelligent Wheel Chock Design

The Smart Chock, designed for ultimate stability and ease of use, is more than just another wheel chock. The design allows for the rider to ride up into the chock and as the bike reaches the lever point it sits forward and perpendicular to the ground, providing more space around the bike and peace of mind that it won't be knocked over.
The stability is provided through the action of the cam. As the bike enters the chock and reaches that center point, the fingers of the cam start to clamp together, and as the bike reaches the resting point the cam applies full force held in by the weight of the bike.
The same cam design that provides the stability also allows for ease of entrance and exit. When removing it from the chock, the bike rolls back past center and the cam will release the gripping force on the tire allowing for an easy exit. The chock is fully adjustable without any spare parts; simply move the bolts to the correct setting for the wheel. Fourteen modes of adjustment accommodate all tire sizes.
The Smart Chock comes in two models: the Trailer Version (TVSC) and the Free Standing Version (FVSC). The TVSC is designed to always be mounted when in use, and the FVSC with its front support is designed for free standing or for being mounted in a trailer or truck. Add in the optional quick mounting kit and the FVSC can be removed from the trailer or truck in less then a minute. Weighing in at only 26 pounds makes for easy manoeuvering and transport.  For more information contact Smart Chock toll-free at 888.231.3575 or at smartchock@gmail.com.
