In 1990 Northern California’s Hangtown, regarded as the birthplace of motocross in Nor-Cal, gave birth to GUTS Racing. They pride themselves at GUTS Racing as innovators in seat technology. Whatever improvements your seat might need, they are up to task to provide these improvements.

Owner, Andy Gregg has a long history with the sport, first as a fan, then a racer and now the owner of one of the most prolific motocross companies in the sport. GUTS belongs in the same type of list of pioneer companies as Alpinestars, FMF, Acerbis and a handful of others, and we here are proud that GUTS joins those other pioneer companies as an Advertiser here at MXLarge, as we are in all fairness, the longest running and first major motocross website in Europe and while our birth was in the late 1990s, we pride ourselves in working with some of the best companies in the business.

Gregg mentioned to another fine motocross website, Vitalmx about the early years of GUTS.

“1985 is kind of the first year that my dad ever made a seat cover for a bike,” Gregg mentioned. “I was five at the time, so I was just riding local stuff on the old-school KX60. I needed a seat, and my dad was in the upholstery business doing couches and chairs, and furniture stuff. So, he knew his way around making seat covers. Then as I progressed my racing from ‘85 to the 1990s he got our actual business license, and we became a legit business.”

We will also be catching up with Gregg in an interview in the coming months and again, we would like to thank GUTS for joining a list of advertisers that really allows us to continue to supply you, the reader with the best news in European and American motocross.

If you watched enough of the 2024 MX2 World championship domination by Kay De Wolf and Lucas Coenen, you will have noticed the GUTS logo on the rider’s seats. Yes, GUTS work with the best teams and riders in the AMA and MXGP paddock and are known Worldwide for their splendid produces.

Just to show the depth of history that GUTS believes in, they did a brilliant collaboration with seven-time AMA National Champion Rick Johnson in the past. Johnson came up with the design while working with Blake Baggett in 2016. When Blake was at factory Suzuki, he suffered a hand injury that made it difficult to hold on. To work around the injury, Rick Johnson suggested that Blake use his legs more to control the bike. Guts added foam inserts to each side of their seat cover that bulged out for better knee contact.
