Steg Pegz Tested for Off-Road Riding

Steg Pegz, an innovative accessory developed by Australian motocross champion Steve Smith, are designed to significantly improve rider control and mitigate arm pump during off-road excursions. The core concept behind these devices is to provide a solid point of contact for a rider's legs, allowing them to grip the bike more effectively with their lower body. This reduces the strain on the arms and upper body, which often leads to fatigue and arm pump, especially during demanding rides.

Initial evaluations of Steg Pegz on a Yamaha Ténéré 700 project bike demonstrated their effectiveness. Riders reported a noticeable increase in stability and confidence, particularly when navigating challenging terrain. The added support from the Pegz allowed for better weight distribution and body positioning, translating into more precise control over the motorcycle. This benefit extends across various off-road riding styles, from rally racing to casual adventure touring and dual-sport activities. For Arkansas riders who frequently tackle the diverse trails and backroads of the Natural State, such an accessory could be a game-changer, offering enhanced endurance and a more controlled riding experience.
