Report: Cycle Gear to buy Philadelphia's RevZilla in $400-500 million deal Motorcycle gear retailer thrived in Philadelphia by establishing a strong online presence
Philadelphia-based motorcycle gear retailer RevZilla is reportedly on the verge of being acquired by Cycle Gear, a national chain based in California, in a deal that would create a company valued between $400-500 million. According to Reuters, sources believe the deal will be announced in the coming days and represents a push by Cycle Gear to expand its online business with Revzilla's expertise. Launched late in 2007 by Philadelphia residents Nick Auger, Anthony Bucci and Matthew Kull, Revzilla established a strong foothold online through its popular YouTube channel and knowledge in harnessing e-commerce to drive sales. With more than 182,000 subscribers and 60 million views on its product reviews and motorcycling videos, RevZilla's YouTube presence would instantly bolster Cycle Gear's brick-and-mortar foundation. The company set out initially to become the "Zappos of motorcycles." Cycle Gear, which has more than 100 stores in 34 states, was acquired by J.W. Childs from private equity firm Harvest Partners in January 2015.
At one point, RevZilla had a physical location in Queen Village, but later moved its headquarters to a warehouse in the Navy Yard, where it now has a showroom at the Commerce Center. On its e-commerce platform, RevZilla offers apparel, gear and parts for dirt bikes, ATVs, sport bikes, and street bikes. In an interview with PhillyMag last July, RevZilla CEO Anthony Bucci said the company set out to replicate the success of other Philly-born businesses like Urban Outfitters, Five Below, First Round Capital and Monetate. We wanted to build a business in Philly because we’re Philly guys. We believe there’s great talent in Philly and we think it gets overlooked, especially in the digital landscape, where you hear about Austin, New York, Silicon Valley and Boston all the time...To have people talk about us as an amazing startup story from Philly is very humbling and makes us feel great. If the deal is completed, it's not clear what future role Bucci, Auger and Kull will have with Cycle Gear.
RevZilla, which now has approximately 200 employees, was named "Emerging Business of the Year" by the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce in 2012 and "IT Innovator of the Year" by the Greater Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technology in 2014.

This one image I posted on Instagram and later Facebook and here at XLADV went incredibly VIRAL! Here's a short video showing a few angles
And some context is appropriate here...  I ride a 2011 KTM 990 Adventure and a bit over half of my miles are from dirt.  My typical trip is something like about 450 miles round trip of highway with about 400-600 miles of dirt.  I'm not a Starbucks rider and I don't typically ride two-up. My inaugural trip on these tires was in early November to Death Valley. I was immediately impressed with the off road traction.  This 990 rear wheel spins with little effort but I was noticing how much more grab there was than before.  We did a KILLER 170 mile loop out to Furnace Creek, down West Side road and then up Warm Springs through Butte Valley and then down through Mengel pass and Goler wash then back up Panamint Valley to Panamint Springs.  This was easily some of the toughest terrain I'd ever ridden on a big bike but these Tractionator Adventure tires handled it all with ease.  Zero chunking as well. The next major test (perhaps an understatement) was riding the famed LA-Barstow-to-Vegas in late November.  
I rode the 100 miles to the starting line in Palmdale and then the next two days of mostly dirt (not the adventure bike course but the dual sport course) which some years can approach 500 miles.  Checking my REVER app showed I rode about 362 miles over the two days and then of course the 263 miles of highway home.  This is really as tough as it gets.  Miles and miles of DEEP sand, steep rocky climbs, some fun single track are typical. Again, showing nearly no wear yet after LAB2V I can tell the biggest question in your mind right now is "okay Eric enough about the traction, how about longevity?"   I had gotten about 2,600 miles off a rear TKC-80 (150/70-18) so that was my benchmark.  I'm proud to say I'm at about 3,300 miles now and it's still going strong!  So strong that I'm leaving for a 2,000 mile Copper Canyon trip shortly and plan to simply leave them on.  My guess is it will be done around 5,000 miles Because I'm not the canyon-carver type of rider and since it rarely rains here in Southern California, I'm not really able to comment all that thoroughly on the street performance.  
They do hold just fine in twisty canyons on dry roads which I think is a testament to their all natural rubber construction.  They still give you that pavement confidence you get from a TKC-80 and aren't skittish like the harder compound tires one might see in a plastic Heidenau or even the mid-level hardness of a Mitas E09 Dakar. That is in essence what one gets from an all natural rubber construction; traction and longevity with even traction sustained when worn down. Bottom line:  Considering their longevity AND traction, easily the best adventure bike tire I've ever run.  One doesn't have to trade one (longevity) for the other (traction). Pro's:  Aggressive off-road traction good for rocks, deep soft sand as well as mud.  Longevity rivaling some of the plastic tires. Con's:  May be hard to find for a while as distribution builds; harder given the high interest in this tire I recently had a opportunity to test a set of the Motoz Tractionator Adventure tires on my KTM 990 Adventure.
The first thing I noticed about the tires was their aggressive tread pattern for dirt usage while still maintaining a overall rounded profile for smooth cornering on those sections of pavement between the dirt. After thoroughly inspecting/admiring the tires it was time to mount them up at home in the garage. Overall the mounting went as hassle-free as any other tire I've mounted by hand and that's a plus. One thing I noticed was the tires did not have a discernible mark to line up with the valve stem during mounting for balancing purposes. This is minor as the tires exhibited no issues once mounted. Maybe the Motoz crew can give us some insight into their markings or include a mark on future production runs. After getting the wheels/tires back on the bike it was time for a test ride. First up pavement, right from the start, following a initial scrub in period, the tires worked great on pavement! I tend to push my bike in the corners regardless of the tire pattern's intended use and the Motoz Tractionator Adventure completely hooked up and took all of the abuse I could dish out.
Riding solo or two-up, didn't matter, these tires kept asking for more. I did have one situation where I thought the tires made more road noise than others that I've used but, I now attribute that to that particular section of road and not the tire. Next up was seeing if the tires worked as well in the dirt. I was definitely not disappointed with their off pavement performance. I live along the Colorado Front Range where we have a lot of loose decomposed granite and the tires had no problem what so ever gripping in our less than optimal conditions. The times when I was really playing around with the bike and getting it squirrelly, the tires were very predictable when I was able to get them to spin up. Despite all of the miles I've racked up on the Motoz Tractionator Adventure's they seem to be wearing quite well. I've very anxious to see how their longevity compares with other tires I've used on the 990. Other tires used: Pirelli Scorpions, Maxxis Big Blocks, and Mefo Explorers.
Pros: Excellent traction both on and off pavement. Impressive wear performance, great price. Cons: A lack of sidewall markings for home installation/balancing. should have them in stock shortly and they ship worldwide. Would I buy another set of Motoz Tractionator Adventure's... The balance between dirt traction, street manners and potential mileage is a constant struggle. I'd love to tell you "how long" these Adventure tires will last... but as can be seen in the image above... at 3k miles they are just getting broken in! The worn tire has 3k miles on it and it is sitting next to a brand new tire. This has NEVER before happened on my KTM.My GoTo tire has been the MotoZ Tractionator Desert HT on my KTM 950R Super Enduro. It was by far the best tire I have ever run on the SE and it lasts me upwards of 4k miles. The Desert HT Nails It in the dirt, sticks on the pavement, but is loud and does have some knobbie squirm which is to be expected. When I got word that this new Adventure version was being released...
I just had to get a set. 3k miles in and I must say that I am presently surprised at what this tire brings to the table. It is quiet: Much like a traditional street tire it is quite despite the large voids between the massive lugs unlike the Desert HT which hums down the highway. It is smooth: The slow speed vibration felt on most all knobbies when coming to a stop is not present with these tires. Street Traction: I have ridden +/- 30 days in the rain on this set of tires. Most commute miles on freeway and city streets. Even on wet pavement, these tires allow me to lift the front end and the rear tire is tough to get to brake loose during hard acceleration and during quick stops. Dirt & Mud Traction: This set of tires handles very well off-road. I prefer the Desert HT for deep loose gravel and MUD, but all other off-road situations there was no compromise. The new MotoZ Adventure Tire looks, rides and acts as if a deck of tire were shuffled... TKC80, Karoo 3, K60, 908RR and a 2CT.
