MSR was founded 40 years ago by motocross phenomenon Malcolm Smith, who sought to create protective gear for dirt bike riders.  Beyond protective gear MSR has delved into replacement hard parts, tools and their own MSR clothing line for well known apparel like MSR jerseys & hats.  Over the years, MSR has grown to be a veritable giant in the MX industry as they continue to crank out nothing but high quality gear for the motocross rider.
