MXA Magazine Test Pilot Ezra Lewis Tests ASV’s New S1 Series Levers.

At Glen Helen Raceway—widely regarded as one of the roughest and most demanding motocross tracks in Southern California—there’s no room for weak components. The brutal terrain makes it the perfect proving ground, and that’s exactly where MXA Magazine test pilot Ezra Lewis put ASV’s new S1 Series levers to the test.

Ezra didn’t just show up—he charged the legendary track with aggression and precision, pushing both himself and his machine to the limit.

The day kicked off with the installation of the S1 Series single-pivot levers on his KTM 250 SX. True to ASV’s reputation, installation was seamless—bolting on quickly with no complications. After dialing in the adjustable reach to his preference, Ezra was ready to hit the track.

Most riders are meticulous—sometimes even stubborn—when it comes to their setup. New components usually require an adjustment period. But in this case, there was no hesitation. Ezra adapted instantly, attacking Glen Helen with the kind of confidence usually reserved for a fully broken-in setup. It was as if the levers had always been part of his bike.

That immediate comfort speaks volumes about the design.

Each S1 Series lever is forged and CNC-machined for superior strength, built to handle the harshest riding conditions. The single-pivot design, paired with adjustable reach, allows riders to fine-tune their controls for a personalized feel. Finished with premium anodizing and laser engraving, the levers deliver both performance and a clean, factory-level aesthetic.

ASV didn’t develop these levers in a vacuum. The S1 Series was refined with direct input from professional SMX riders, resulting in a product that emphasizes ergonomics, responsiveness, and all-day comfort—whether you’re racing motos or logging laps on the practice track.

And ASV stands behind their product. With a 1-year unconditional guarantee, the S1 Series levers are built not just to perform—but to last.

If you want confidence in your controls, ASV makes it simple.
