1993 – August – Vol. 4, No. 1

With only three copies in stock, we expect this issue to go fast, just like the ZR 580 on the cover! This is the issue that covers all that was new and tested at the 1994 Rode Reports. The staff takes you through the entire lineups from Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo and Yamaha. That includes the second-year Indy XLT with new XC-100 rear suspension, the new ZR 700, the first-year Formula Z and Summit models and the rapidly expanding Vmax model lineup. This issue also includes a flashback with the legendary Stan Hayes, interviews with that year’s Rode Reports Racers (Tim Bender, John Wicht, Darrell LePlant and Ken Hallas), the Performance Shop Directory with complete details on more than 50 speed shops and a breakdown of new chassis development. A Timeline article on the John Deere Liquifire, a Tech Professor column on altitude compensation and more set this issue apart.
