In the world of motorcycle riding, safety and performance often go hand in hand. Every rider knows that having reliable gear is not just a preference—it’s a necessity. Recently, we received an incredible testimonial from one of our customers, and his story is one we simply had to share. (Story from @morgan_iovine)
This customer, an experienced rider and content creator with over 1.5 million views per month, reached out to us with some remarkable news. He had been involved in a severe accident while riding, and while accidents are always unfortunate, the aftermath was nothing short of astonishing.
The Incident
During the crash, the rider’s foot was caught between the ground and the bike. Such situations often lead to severe injuries, and for many riders, they’re a nightmare scenario. However, in this case, the outcome was very different. The reason? Our forged wide foot pegs for KTM, known for their rugged construction and superior build quality, played a crucial role in minimizing the damage.
Our Foot Peg That Made All the Difference
As the bike slid across the ground, the rider’s left footpeg bore the brunt of the impact. Due to the exceptional quality and design of our pegs, it absorbed the force and prevented the rider’s leg from taking the full hit. The peg itself was destroyed, but it stayed intact long enough to protect his leg. “If it had been another normal platform,” the rider said, “it would have opened my leg in two.”
Our goal has always been to provide riders with parts that perform exceptionally under all conditions. To hear that our product potentially saved someone from a devastating injury is both humbling and motivating. This is why we invest so much time and effort into the design and testing of our components. For us, it’s not just about performance—it’s about protection.
The Future Ahead
We’re thrilled that our foot pegs could provide such crucial protection, and we’re excited about the possibilities of working together with this talented rider. His story is a powerful testament to the importance of quality in motorcycle parts, and we look forward to creating more content that showcases how our products can make a real difference.
To every rider out there, stay safe and ride with confidence. Our commitment to your safety is in every product we make. If you’re interested in learning more about the pegs that saved this rider’s leg, check out our Forged Wide Foot Pegs for KTM.
