ITP ROLLS OUT THE
HOLESHOT GNCC ATV TIRE
WOODS RACERS REJOICE!
Ontario, CA (4/12/2006) - Over
the last two decades, no ATV tire has visited winner’s
circle more than the ITP Holeshot line. Now, in
2006, there is a Holeshot model available for virtually
any type of off-road racing condition. This finely
tuned specialization equates to being able to provide
the absolute best tire possible for any given machine
on any given terrain on any given day.
And now ITP has put an even tighter focus on the exploding
woods racing scene with the release of the all-new Holeshot
GNCC. As you might guess, the Holeshot GNCC is specifically
designed for the type of riding environment found in
the hugely popular Grand National Cross Country Championship
Series. Designed and developed for today’s long-travel,
high-performance quads, the Holeshot GNCC offers exceptional
overall capabilities, with an emphasis on reducing rider
fatigue and lowering lap times — from the green
flag to the checkered.
Lighter, easier steering is accomplished with the front
Holeshot GNCC’s more rounded profile and angled
knob pattern, while the rear GNCC’s more open
tread and split-knob design provide exceptional straight-line
grip, balanced cornering and unbeatable clean-out. Great
handling and traction are complemented by a super-tough
carcass that can easily deal with all the tight trees,
rocks, roots and ruts found on a typical GNCC race course.
Long wear and puncture resistance were key considerations
in the creation of the Holeshot GNCC. The more challenging
the course, the greater advantage the Holeshot GNCC
rider will enjoy.
The new Holeshot GNCC was engineered and tested with
considerable input from ITP’s star GNCC Series
riders, most notably Team Suzuki’s William Yokley.
This woods racing veteran has been using the new GNCC
extensively this season, and has already captured several
top finishes. He feels that the Holeshot GNCC is the
next big step in tire technology, and anticipates using
this new tire on virtually every type of course —
in all conditions — in 2006. “Compared to
the older tires, the GNCC front’s rounder profile
lets it track straighter and ride smoother,” Yokley
reports. “It’s a lighter tire, too, so it
maneuvers easier and cuts down on feedback through the
handlebars. There’s a lot less abuse to your hands,
which makes a big difference two hours into a race.
The rear GNCC is also lighter and very easy to sling
around in the woods. The taller lugs give it so much
more traction—it really hooks up, with a lot of
grip and less wheelspin under power. But you can slide
it around when you need to, with less bounce in rough
corners. Overall these tires are very stable at higher
speeds, but they also work really good in the slower
ruts, rocks and braking bumps. They just don’t
jerk you around as much, which really reduces fatigue.
They seem to be wearing very well, and I’ve bashed
them into a few big rocks and stumps and they’re
holding up great.”
The Holeshot GNCC debuts in a 22x7-10 front and 20x10-9
rear size — with a 21x11-9 rear coming soon —
all with durable 6-ply ratings.
