  • Zero Motorcycles Electric Offroad Motorcycle
     
    70% of 10 votes

    An electric-powered offroad motorcycle, one that hunters and fishermen who relish a quiet entry and exit into the backcountry could use? You might call it tilting at windmills, but don’t say that to Neal Saiki, who holds a masters degree in aeronautical engineering and worked as a project manager at NASA developing high-altitude research vehicles, before founding Zero Motorcycles. At first, the company concentrated on manufacturing motorcycles for urban environments, but his latest model—the Zero X—is meant for serious offroad duty.

  • Benelli SuperNova

    THE LOWDOWN
    Benelli's 3½-inch Nova has a unique polymer-encased receiver that handles serious abuse. I have personally dunked mine, thrown it in the mud, and bounced it off riprap to no ill effect. The new SuperNova is the same tough gun with improvements. For example, it has a ComforTech stock with gel inserts that soak up kick. You can also switch recoil pads without tools, making it easy to shorten the stock when you're all bundled up in cold weather. The safety button and trigger guard are larger to accommodate gloved fingers. And as with the original Nova, the magazine cap doubles as a pin punch so you have the tools at hand for field stripping.
