Better Evil locked on By the staff of Dirt Wheels It has been almost three years since we tested the aggressive M1 Evil tire. It utilized long tread blocks that are angled across the center of the tire for a sinister bite for traction. Now, AMS has introduced the new M4 Evil tires with a tread design that resembles an off-road truck tire. These pieces of rolling rubber should be pretty popular everywhere, but particularly west of the Mississippi. AMS sent them wrapped around their impressive all-new Roll’n 106…

Michael Noska owns 220 Trikes LLC and produces some of the coolest three-wheel conversions around. This model started life as a 2018 KTM 450xc-f. A kit from 220 was utilized to transform the two wheel dirt bike into a three-wheel fun machine. These parts included triple clamps, subframe and much, much more. Plastics and a seat from KTM's short lived ATV lineup was used to make this machine look seamless, along with an ATC front fender. 220 added custom triangular foot pegs, but kept the stock KTMs air box intake…

Company owner Lynn Hodges is in Idaho where there are all sorts of off-road opportunities, so it was inevitable that his family would end up with a Polaris XP 1000 4 in its stable. As son Sheldon got a little older, he was looking for something sportier to drive, and the then-new Polaris RS1 was added to the family’s fleet. The RS1 project…

SHERP the Ark consists of two linked units that work as a single vehicle. The Ark body is made of aluminum, which reduces the total weight and lowers the center of gravity. The frame…
