Rekluse: Radius CX clutch kit
P3 Carbon: skid plate, header guard, frame guards
OX Brake: Left hand Rear Brake (LHRB), Hydro 2.0 version
Bullet Proof Designs: front brake and lug protector, radiator guards, clutch/brake levers, rear brake disk and caliper guard, foot pegs, chain guide support, suspension link guard and a new set of Bullet Proof Design wheels
Motul: fluids
Double Take: trail mirror.

Escobar had the following comments about the FE450: “The Bullet Proof and P3 products protected the bike really well, the protection parts are all scratched/gouged up from the “Rocky Mountains” and the bike is perfect. It allowed me to attack obstacles knowing the bike was protected.

“The Rekluse Clutch plus the LHRB from OX transformed the bike into an extension of my body. The levels of precision control I had in steep uphills/steep downhills and brake control on tight steep switchbacks was phenomenal!

“The confidence I had to tackle some of the obstacles was on another level from me riding similar trails just a few weeks ago on the same bike without the protection, clutch or LHRB.”
