Sportech Receives Nifty Fifty Award For Detachable Fairing

During the 11th annual Nifty 50 contest presented by Elhert Publishing and Powersports Business Magazine

Powersports Business Magazine is the leading industry publication and provides dealers, manufacturers and other insiders the very latest in powersports news and analysis.   The Nifty 50 contest centers around the annual Dealer Expo—the largest powersports industry event in the United States—and is presented only 50 of the thousands of candidates. 

The Nifty 50 contest  has become a way of not only recognizing the most innovative new products entering the market, but also as a tool to help dealers identify those products that customers will be asking for in the coming season. 

On February 11, Sportech received its seventh Nifty 50 award for its innovative new Detachable Fairing.  The fairing offers riders a means of capturing the popular “Bagger” look and feel at an incredible value.  Unlike the fiberglass products currently on the market, Sportech’s thermoformed TPO fairing offers factory-level fit and finish—as well as multiple features not seen on units costing twice as much.

Sportech Releases Exciting New Snow Products For The 2005 Season

Well, we finally received some measurable snowfall last winter and all indications show that we are returning to a “normal,” snowy weather pattern. And in the interest of keeping you the enthusiast supplied with the latest trends and the coolest accessories on the snow, we have been busy developing new CobraTM windshields. We’re especially excited about a new line which features our exclusive Diamond Plate graphics and are available for the Ski-Doo REV series, Arctic Cat Firecats and Polaris Edge models. We’ve plugged a couple of “holes” in our windshield line-up with a low chrome Viper windshield and a low tint ZR3 windshield, as well as a CobraTM windshield for Honda’s new Rubicon and Rancher ATV with the GPScape option.

In addition to these exciting new windshields, we’ve also added two new SpeedguardTM models which have been receiving critical acclaim: the Carbon Fiber Look SpeedguardTM and Diamond Plate SpeedguardTM hand guards offer the same industry-leading protection and design features as our current SpeedguardsTM, but are available with our exclusive, high-tech looking Carbon Fiber graphic treatment, or super-tough Diamond Plate look.

Another cool product new for this year is our proprietary Hood ScoopTM, designed to provide a quick and easy update to your Edge-chassis snowmobile. Designed to mimic the design cues of some of the hottest cutting-edge machines out there, this sleek device blends seamlessly into your hood for a sharp, ultra-modern look.

As you browse this web site featuring all the products available for your specific snowmobile, watch for this icon to indicate one of these exciting new accessories for 2005.
