Chad Wienen & Cody Miller Go 1-2 at Sunset Ridge MX on
ITP Quadcross MX Pro Lites

ITP Quadcross MX Pro Lites Tires

Wienen used his home track knowledge — and his new ITP QuadCross MX PRO Lite tires — to score a popular win in Illinois.

Ontario, CA (5/8/2009) - It was a big weekend at Sunset Ridge, in Walnut, Illinois, for ITP and the new QuadCross MX PRO Lite tires.

Round 5 of the 2009 AMA ATV Motocross Nationals saw Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Chad Wienen dominate with a clean two-moto sweep for first overall in front of a boisterous crowd of home track fans. It marked the first overall victory for the Kawasaki team since it was formed in 2007. Second overall with 5-5 moto finishes on this beautiful day was Warnert Racing Can-Am’s Cody Miller, who grabbed the second moto holeshot, the first of his Pro career. The first moto start went to Wienen’s Kawasaki teammate Josh Creamer, who finished the day 3-8 for fourth overall.

Cody Miller (22) enjoyed the first holeshot of his Pro career, thanks in part to the QuadCross MX PRO Lites on his Warnert Racing Can-Am.

The QuadCross MX PRO Lite represents the next big step in race tire technology, by way of significant updates to an already proven product. Compared to the QuadCross MX PRO, this new tire is a pound lighter in front and two pounds lighter in back — a monumental difference considering the standard tire was already one of the lightest on the market.

The QuadCross MX PRO Lite also features a new 2-ply carcass utilizing a sidewall apex design that stiffens the sidewall during side loads without compromising ride quality. Acceleration, braking, cornering and overall balance and feel have all benefited from this new carcass as well as a tried-and-true tread pattern, especially on hard-packed track surfaces.

The rear QuadCross MX PRO Lite comes with an all-new rubber compound as well, a high-tech formulation that offers superior grip while still delivering extended wear characteristics. This is not just a softer tire that hooks up well for three laps and is then ready for the dumpster! This is a pro-level tire now being made accessible to all racers.

Monster Energy Kawasaki was instrumental in the development of the new QuadCross MX PRO Lite. Wienen used its significant updates to full effect with a 1-1 moto sweep at Round 5.
After being hampered with injuries over the last year, winning at Sunset Ridge was a big load off Wienen’s shoulders. It was a historic day for the team as well.
