Stand Out on the Track: High-Quality Custom MX Graphics from Australia’s Rival Ink Design

Custom graphics are one of the easiest and surest ways for motorcycle owners to set their bikes apart from the crowd. They don’t require any technical expertise or ADR compliance; and for owners who ride competitively, graphics, and more importantly how they’re displayed, is as much a part of riding as a good helmet or a set of tyres.

Not only does selecting the right colour and font for your number board help you stand out against the competition, but properly placed graphics also give you, your sponsors, and your most trusted product suppliers the all-important visibility that they deserve. The key is finding a high quality graphics manufacturer who understands the role that visuals play in the motocross industry. Fortunately, that’s precisely what Australia has in Brisbane’s Rival Ink Design.

For more than 20 years, Rival has set the global standard for custom MX graphics kits and accessories, and their dedication to utilizing the highest quality graphics production techniques comes through in every kit. It’s their commitment, however, to printed media that’s strong enough to withstand harsh motocross, ATV, and karting environments that have earned them their highest accolades. Where dirt, moisture, and mud are all a part of a day’s work, especially in competition, they understand how important vivid, long-lasting visuals are; that’s why they specialize in kits that are built to take whatever you can throw at them.

From a vibrant, multi-colour print and laminate set for your motocross freestyler, to a set of vintage MX reproduction decals for a restored classic that’ll never see dirt again, Rival offers a premium array of, full- and lower-trim graphics kits for all motocross bikes, including:

• Radiator shroud, and airbox sets;
• Front screen and fork guard decals;
• Front and rear fender decals;
• Front and side number decals; and,
• Swingarm, rear frame, and bash plate decals.

No matter if you’re looking for an individual OE graphic to replace one from a scraped fender, or a semi-custom dirtbike graphics kit with your own logo and sponsors, Rival can produce anything you need. And you never have to worry about fit: they have precise MX graphics templates for most dirt and motocross bikes manufactured since 2000, re-release templates for bikes back to the 1970s, and the technology to make templates for even older models upon request.

Full and Partial Graphics Kits For All the Most Popular Bikes in Australia

You only have to look at the breadth of Rival’s graphics kit templates to understand the scale of products they offer. Their lineup of full dirtbike graphics is the aftermarket’s most extensive, and below is a cross-section of the more popular motocross bikes in Australia that they offer decals for:

• Kawasaki KX 85s, 112s, 125s, 250s, and 450s;
• KTM SX and EXC 125s, 150s, 250s, and 300s;
• Honda CR and CRF 110s, 152s, and 250s;
• Husqvarna FE 250s, 350s, and 450s; and,
• Yamaha YZ 155s, 250s, and 450s.

Their custom motorbike graphics selection covers more than just OE-template decals, though. They also offer a broad selection of MX and motocross graphics in collaboration with some of the most recognizable names in dirtbike artwork, including:

• Shock Mansion;
• Thrill Seekers;
• Heatwave Visual;
• Harry Bink; and,
• Thor.

Rival even stocks a full range of MX bike graphics accessories like a helmet and back armour decals, hub decals, and mini plates, giving you everything you need to stand out in a crowded field. The comprehensiveness of their range of motorbike decal kits is equaled only by how easily they’re applied. That’s because, unlike a lot of other motorbike graphic kits manufacturers, they only use media and materials that ensure their products will stay on just as well as they go on.

Media and Overlaminates that are Made For Especially for Motocross

Let’s be honest: while applying graphics would normally be prone to pitfalls from air bubbles and foreign matter even under the best of circumstances, dirtbike graphics kits pose a compound challenge. The vibration and flexing that dirtbike panels undergo not only means that their elastic and adhesive properties have to be exceptional, but the integrity of their film also has to be durable enough to withstand their unavoidable exposure to moisture, high temperatures, and UV rays.

Only the toughest materials are able to endure these conditions, which is why Rival uses only high-quality, 6.0mil Ultracurve®X1 media for its motocross bike graphics kits and decals. High opacity X1 offers double the adhesion of regular tack-type adhesives, while also delivering on a host of high-performance film properties that include:

• Superior adhesion to LSE (low surface energy) plastics;
• Outstanding bonding characteristics when used on curved and textured surfaces; and,
• FLO Technology infusion for quick, bubble-free application.

A clear, premium grade 15.0mil overlaminate rounds out the film’s inherent protective nature. It offers unmatched gloss and clarity, conformity, and UV resistance; which makes it the perfect complement for a family of motorbike graphics kits that not only look good, but are built to last.

The Final Word

At the end of the day, there’s no mistaking just how important visuals are in motocross. And no matter if you’re just a dedicated weekend rider who takes pride in their bike, or with a freestyle team that’s ready to represent, you want the best, and most durable graphics available.

High-quality MX graphics kits and accessories give you everything you need to keep your bike looking its best at all times. Whether your design preference is a mild original, or a wild custom, they know how to bring your graphics to life.
