SST offers attractive racing venues, remarkable track designs, substantial purse, and opportunity for network TV a lot like NASCAR because you can visualize the whole track.”

The Baja Designs SII Polisport Kit is the newest and only LED light of its size available for motorcycle use. “Bright, Tiny, and Rugged”. We have mounted our award winning SII LED light in a sleek Polisport headlight shell. This light packs an amazing 1800 Lumens while using a mere 22 watts (1.8 amps) of power. This means that even EFI MX bikes can now run an insanely bright headlight with zero stator modifications. If you are looking for the smallest and brightest motorcycle light on the market with 20 years of motorcycle light manufacturing at its finest, then Baja Designs SII Polisport Kit is your answer!
Enter “SIIPROMO” at checkout for 10% off!!

“With the SII, we finally have a high performance headlight for even the weakest motorcycle charging systems.” says head scientist Alan Roach.

The SII proves that big things do come in small packages. The SII motorcycle light offers an incredible 1800 lumens out of a tiny 3”x 2” housing. Our SII is THE brightest LED light ounce for ounce on the market because it contains the brightest LEDs on the market – 2 CREE T6 bin XM-L LEDs at 5000k color temperature. The SII is designed specifically for comfortable night-time riding. Three patterns are available, a combo/driving pattern, a spot pattern, and a full driving light pattern. Our uService technology allows you to change the front lens and even change the pattern of your light. The SII is designed, engineered, manufactured, and built in California as well as backed by Baja Designs’ limited lifetime warranty. If you are looking for the smallest and brightest LED light on the market the SII motorcycle light is for you!

-Many carbureted motorcycles require a stator rewind or an aftermarket stator to run this headlight. Please contact Baja Designs at 760.560.2252 to have this service performed. Cost for a rewind is $150, 3-5 day turnaround time. An aftermarket stator for most motocross bikes retails for $179.

Team Enlightened Sweeps the Mint 400

Baja Designs’ Team Enlightened takes the overall and first in class in all five of the unlimited classes at the Mint 400. When lighting performance really counts, top racers choose Baja Designs lighting to get them to the podium.

At the Mint 400, the unlimited vehicles start in the afternoon, and the 400 mile race runs until well after dark. This year, every one of the unlimited classes was won by racers using Baja Designs lights.

Class 1400 – Trophy Truck – Bryce Menzies – 1st overall and first Trophy Truck

Class 1500 – Class 1 Unlimited Buggy – Chuck Hovey – 1st in Class

Class 1000 – Class 10 Buggy (Unlimited Suspension-Spec Motor Buggy) – Chip Prescott – 1st in Class

Class 6100 – Spec Trophy Truck (Unlimited Suspension-Spec Motor Truck) – Jason Ruane – 1st in Class

Class 7200 – 6 cyl Unlimited Truck (Max Track Width- 85”) – Al Hogan – 1st in Class

 

The Mint 400 has long been known as one of the toughest desert races in the US. The brutal 100-mile Mint 400 loop course was devastating this year. Of the 255 starters, only 132 finished within the time limit-making the attrition at 48%, the toughest in recent Mint 400 history.

The Scientists of Lighting are proud to announce that RPM OFFROAD has chosen to become members of Baja Designs Team Enlightened. Their drivers and co-drivers will be valuable race lighting analysts for Baja Designs and BD looks forward to collaborating with their long list of winning racers.
RPM OFFROAD Team Manager had this to say; “over the last few years we bought a lot of offroad vehicles and raced in almost every major class. As a result, we have had the opportunity to test numerous lighting packages and we have noticed a distinct competitive advantage while running Baja Designs lights. Not only are their lights insanely bright and durable but the lighting knowledge and race experience of head engineer Alan Roach is invaluable when it comes to helping us aim lights as well as choose setups and patterns specific to each vehicle.

The Scientists of Lighting at Baja Designs would like to thank all of their sponsored KOH race teams and congratulate Bomber Fabrication’s Randy Slawson for an amazing victory at this year’s 2013 Griffin King of the Hammers race.  A long week of preparation and pre-running culminated in a very exciting race on Friday.  This year’s KOH was witnessed by a record crowd out at Hammertown and an even larger following via the live internet broadcast.  Staying true to its name, King of the Hammers was more relentless and unforgiving than ever before, allowing just 27 finishers out of 129 racers.

Baja Designs, Bomber fabrication

Bomber Fabrication’s Randy Slawson had this to say, “We chose to outfit our Bomber Fabrication race car #4448 with two Squadron Wide-Corning lights and one 8″ OnX LED Light bar (with all spot reflectors).  This combination allowed us to tune our suspension well into the night in preparation for our bid at the 2013 King of the Hammers.  End result, on February 8, 2013 we were crowned “King” of the 2013 King of the Hammers. We highly recommend Baja Designs lighting systems for race applications, recreation off-roading and expedition excursions.”

The mad scientists at Baja Designs have been working hard to bring you some great new Made in America LED lights.

You may have heard the “buzz” about BDs new OnX LED light bars, head scientist Alan Roach says “finally, an LED light bar that has the distance of an 8” HID with the smooth spread of an LED”.   These are the light bars that Baja Designs racers have been excitedly testing and they are all saying the same thing: “this LED light bar really gets out there and it’s small enough to significantly reduce wind drag!”.   The OnX will be sold in 8” increments ranging from 8” all the way to 51” and packing 3600 lumens per 8” section.  If you’re looking for the guaranteed farthest projecting LED light on the market, look no further.

On the other hand, if you need a light that will fit in the smallest of spaces, then you should check out the new SII LED light.  This 3”x1.75” light produces 1,800 lumens and will outshine any other 2, 3 or 4 LED auxiliary light on the market.  Not only that, but its small size means it can be mounted virtually anywhere.  Check them out on the beautiful 25 hour GTM Super Car that will be in our booth.

Stop by booth #23333 in the central Racing and Performance hall to see these lights along with our new Camo and Marine White versions of our LED lights.  Just look for the guys in the white lab coats that can explain “The science of lighting tm” that lies behind LED technology and light patterns.  Our lab techs will also tell you all about our fantastic show specials for new and returning customers.
