ATV racers have to rely on more than just
talent to win races and clinch championships.

Weight is key in racing, and that’s why the
top riders in ATV racing are choosing Goldspeed
Wheels. Goldspeed Wheels are lightweight,

Pro ATV Motocross Champion, Chad Wienen,
has won his last three titles on Goldspeed
wheels, and he is once again leading the charge
in 2016 as he chases after his fifth straight
championship. Wienen has two wins and a string
of four-consecutive second-place finishes
in six races. He likes the ease of use and
durability of his Goldspeed wheels.
“We made the switch to Goldspeed in 2013
and we’ve been winning championships ever
since,” said Wienen. “They are lightweight
and durable, as well as being easy to work
with. They are strong enough to handle the
abuse we put them through.”
Rastrelli has come on strong in ATV Motocross
competition this year consistently finishing
in the top five, along with two podiums, and
he made the switch to Goldspeed tires at the
beginning of the season.

to Goldspeed Tires for 2016 |
“It’s an awesome tire, and I cannot say enough
about it,” said Rastrelli. “I run the MXR2
Blue Label on the rear and the SFX on the
front. I use them everywhere; we just change
the tire pressure as needed.”
Multiple time EDT champion, Brad Riley, is
leading the charge with two wins in the NE
EDT Series Pro class after a runner-up finish
in the season opener. He’s been running Goldspeed
wheels for the last two seasons.

“They work really well,” said Riley. “They
are lightweight and their people are really
easy to deal with. They make really good wheels
which is shown by all the champions running
them.”
The Pro XC1 and Pro-Am XC2 points leaders
in GNCC racing also just made the move to
Goldspeed wheels at mid-season, and defending
pro champion, Walker Fowler, claimed the win
at Tomahawk this past weekend in his debut
on the Goldspeed wheel.

“It was awesome to bolt on these wheels and
go on to win,” said Fowler. “Our old wheel
company didn’t seem to want to help us anymore
and Goldspeed was chomping at the bit. Just
about every champion on the East Coast is
a Goldspeed rider. They have an impressive
resume and the results speak for themselves.
It was an awesome easy switch. We bolted them
on and went out and won.”
Fowler appreciates the lightness of the Goldspeed
wheels. “They’re almost a half a pound lighter
each,” explained Fowler. “That’s a full pound
at the rear wheels and we all know that lighter
weight on a rotating mass makes a huge difference.”
Greg Covert is the newest member of Goldspeed
squad, having signed with them just after
the last GNCC XC2 Pro Am race. He’s won twice
this season on his Yamaha in his just first
season in Pro Am. He finished on the podium
in four additional event and he leads the
points chase. He’ll be running both Goldspeed
wheels and tires after the summer break.
“They are a company that’s going to be around
awhile and they definitely help out their
racers, so that’s why we’re switching,” said
Covert. “We’re testing them now in some local
races and we’ll have them on the bike after
the summer break. Everything didn’t really
work out with our old tire and wheel companies,
so it was easy to make the switch.”
Keep on eye on these Goldspeed racers as
they move forward and contend for championships.
