Racer Spotlight: Dave Casal (@stoked.2.shred)

Race-Proven Performance in Every Corner

When you’re pushing an RZR RS1 to its limits on a short course, every suspension component has to perform. There’s no room for weak links when races are won or lost by fractions of a second.

That’s exactly why NorCal short course racer Dave Casal (@stoked.2.shred) trusts Kryptonite Products on his race machine.

Competing throughout Northern California in a fully Kryptonite-wrapped Polaris RZR RS1, Dave is constantly putting our suspension components through the harshest conditions imaginable. High-speed impacts, deep ruts, hard landings, and wheel-to-wheel racing are all part of every race weekend. It’s the ultimate proving ground for components that have to survive when failure simply isn’t an option.

Built to Handle Race Abuse

Dave’s RS1 is equipped with:

  • Kryptonite Radius Rods
  • Kryptonite Heavy Duty Tie Rods
  • Kryptonite Sway Bar End Links
  • Kryptonite Wheel Bearings

These aren’t just parts that look good in the pits—they’re engineered to withstand the punishment that comes with competitive racing. Every lap delivers valuable feedback that helps validate the strength, durability, and reliability Kryptonite has become known for.

Why Racing Matters

At Kryptonite, we don’t believe the best testing happens in a laboratory.

It happens on the race track.

Every race weekend exposes components to loads and impacts that most recreational riders will never experience. That’s why partnering with racers like Dave is so valuable. Their vehicles push our products to the absolute limit, proving their performance in the toughest environments possible.

When Kryptonite components survive a weekend of short course racing, you can have confidence they’ll be ready for whatever your next ride throws at them.

Follow the Journey

Dave regularly shares race footage, behind-the-scenes content, and updates from the NorCal short course racing scene on Instagram at @stoked.2.shred. If you’re a fan of competitive UTV racing, it’s worth following along as he continues to put his Kryptonite-equipped RS1 through its paces.

Whether you’re chasing podiums or exploring your favorite trails, the same components trusted on Dave’s race machine are built to deliver confidence every time you hit the throttle.

Race Proven. Trail Ready. Built Kryptonite Tough.
