Engineered for the Elite: Zach Pichon & Alberto Elgari 🏆

 

Riding for a team as prestigious as TM Boano Factory requires equipment that can keep up with the pace of champions.

Zach Pichon, the 2025 Italian Champion, has started the season strong, securing an incredible victory in the opening round of the Assoluti d’Italia and leaving the EnduroGP season opener with two E2 podiums 🥈🥉 and two top 10 overall (scratch) finishes. He enters this year with his sights set on conquering the world title.

Alongside him, rising talent Alberto Elgari leads the Tsubaki FIM Junior Enduro World Championship. With a strong track record, he secured the Junior World Trophy at the Six Days and the 2025 Italian 125cc Championship.

Both riders rely on the Vector to navigate narrow forest sections, rocky climbs, and high-speed special tests with total confidence.

 

What makes the Vector the Team’s favorite?

The Vector isn't just about aesthetics—it’s built for the brutal reality of off-road racing. Here’s why it’s the top choice for the pros:

 

• High-Resistance Polypropylene: The shell is crafted from high-strength polypropylene, engineered to deflect roost, branches, and debris without cracking.
• UV Protection: Long days under the intense sun can degrade plastics. The Vector features integrated UV protection, ensuring the material remains durable and the colors stay vibrant race after race.
• Flexible Nylon Mounting Kit: Unlike rigid alternatives that can snap under pressure, the universal mounting kit is made from flexible nylon, allowing the guard to absorb heavy impacts while maintaining its original shape.
• Optimal Airflow & Open Design: Ideal for Motocross and Enduro, its open design ensures maximum protection while promoting continuous airflow, helping keep the rider’s hands cool even during the most intense rides.
