There
were many Side-by-Sides at the 2012
Rally on the Rocks outfitted with STI
Tires & Wheels |
Brooklyn Center, MN (4/19/2012)
– In only its third year, the Rally on
the Rocks event is quickly becoming the place
to be for side-by-side UTV enthusiasts. After
recently attending it for the first time, we
at STI Tire & Wheel can easily see why.
After all, it’s held at the off-road
recreation mecca of Moab, Utah. The trail
system and the scenery alone make Moab one
of the most spectacular, attractive and famous
destinations on the planet. The area’s
plentiful slick rock terrain is highly unique,
and has to be experienced to be believed.
When it’s dry, it offers more traction
than 80-grit sandpaper. The challenge in operating
a vehicle on this surface is navigating the
extreme angles and pitches without bottoming
out, high-centering or tipping.
Now throw in a few hundred like-minded friends,
an experienced organizer and generous powersports
industry support, and you’ve got a party
in the making. The fun officially begins on
a Wednesday in mid May, and for the next four
days rolls on with difficulty-rated rides
on a seemingly endless selection of trails,
gatherings at nightly bonfires, raffles, games,
catered food, beverages (of course), demo
drives and more.
“More” includes the opportunity
to check out a wide range of products from
a long list of sponsors and exhibitors on
vendor’s row. STI Tire & Wheel was
glad to be a part of this. We always enjoy
talking with current and future customers
about products like Black Diamond tires and
HD Alloy wheels, and especially new offerings
such as the Silverback-XLite and HD3. Our
buddies at Triple S Polaris were offering
demos of an RZR set up with 30-inch Silverback-XLites
mounted on HD3 wheels, and this “mud
tire” setup proved to be nothing short
of shocking in terms of how well it worked
here in the rock-hard east-central part of
the state.
It was an impressive event, and one that’s
sure to grow even more in the years to come.
We certainly plan to come here again. For
