We are pleased to announce that Fasst Company’s lawsuit alleging that ATV Four-Play’s original Soft-bar handlebar design infringed Fasst Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,860,500 has been resolved by settlement.

Fasst Company has spent considerable time and money researching and developing the design and functionality of the extremely popular Flexx Handlebar System. Through our intellectual property law firm, Knobbe, Martens, Olson and Bear LLP, Fasst Company has obtained intellectual property protection for the Flexx Handlebar System, including U.S. Patent No. 6,860,500, as well as other patents pending. Fasst Company will continue to protect its investment in its intellectual property, including by filing lawsuits where necessary.

Before consumers consider competing products, they should consider the actual testing, reputation, design, materials and manufacturing techniques of the handlebar in question. We are confident that such a comparison will result in the purchase of the Flexx Handlebar System.

January 16, 2009
If you are attending the opening round of the WORCS event this weekend stop by the TBT rig for Fasst Company trackside support.

Here's a quick update on WORCS champ Bobby Bonds! Bobby's already testing his 09 Vali Motorsports CRF and loving it!

Bobby's been doing extensive training and testing in Northern California is looking forward to the 09 season!

It has come to Fasst Company’s attention that ATV Four-Play is offering for sale the Soft Bar ATV handlebar that appears to infringe Fasst Company’s U.S. patent # 6,860,500. Fasst Company has spent considerable time and money researching and developing the design and functionality of the extremely popular Flexx Handlebar System. Through our intellectual property law firm, Knobbe, Martens, Olson and Bear LLP, Fasst Company has also invested significant resources in obtaining intellectual property protection for the Flexx Handlebar System, including the 6,860,500 patent.

Fasst Company wishes to make clear to the industry that it has not licensed ATV Four-Play under the 6,860,500 patent nor has it condoned the blatant copying of the Flexx Handlebar System by ATV Four-Play.

“Sometime Tuesday our phone and email systems became overwhelmed with calls and emails from customers, racers, dealers, and industry associates concerning ATV Four-Play’s deliberate copying of our Flexx Handlebar. It is a great complement to us as a company to know we have such great support from our loyal customers and industry associates. Obviously these people realize the care and sacrifice we make to bring authentic original products to market and were concerned by such a lack of respect for Fasst Company and our intellectual property,” said Cole Townsend, Fasst Company’s President. “Our technology and customer service along with our commitment to only manufacture our products in the United States out of the best materials is what separates our company and handlebar from everyone else’s. It is unfortunate that we have to take action, but we will protect our technology by any means required.”

Based on the striking similarity between the Soft Bar and the Flexx Handlebar, ATV Four-Play’s activities appear to be a willful disregard of Fasst Company’s intellectual property rights. ATV Four-Play has shown a lack of respect for Fasst Company, our patent, and traditional notions of fair play. Their actions are unauthentic and disingenuous to the ATV industry and enthusiasts as a whole. Although imitation is a form of flattery, in the context of patent infringement it is also a form of stealing. ATV Four-Plays actions are unacceptable and Fasst Company will not stand for them.

Fasst Company is currently assessing its options for response to ATV Four-Play’s willful disregard of Fasst Company’s intellectual property rights.

We want to congratulate Kevin Rookstool on his great performance last weekend racing the Glen Helen 24 Hour with the Zip-Ty team.

We just got back from cruising the Anaheim SX pits to be sure all of our teams and riders are dialed before the rain rolls in. We have over 90% of the teams as usual running our Spoke Torque Wrench for the 8th year in a row. Our Brake Clevis and Rim Lock Spacers were on a lot of bikes throughout the pits, most notably the ultra clean Gibbs Racing Yamahas, and Torco Fuels Factory Connection Honda bikes. We even saw our clevis on certain #22 Yamaha that had been sand blasted to disguise it.

We want to wish Kevin Rookstool good luck on his Pro Ride.com, Flexx Handlebar System controlled KXF 250. Kevin’s had a great off season and is looking for a great SX season.

Fasst Company’s Anti-Vibration Inserts just received a 10 out of 10 from Transworld Motocross' Product Report in the September 2007 issue. The report stated “the difference is easy to detect from the moment you fire up your motorcycle, as the buzz transferred through the handlebars is drastically reduced. The Fasst Company Inserts are not new, but they are a staple when it comes to making your bike more comfortable and easier to ride hard throughout an entire moto.”

Fasst Company’s revolutionary Brake Clevis has quickly become the choice of the elite Factory and Factory supported race teams. Since its introduction in late 2006, the Brake Clevis has added value to riders by offering increased braking performance while eliminating the play in the rear brake pedal. Top riders like Travis Preston, Nick Wey, David Vuillemin, Tyler Evans and others have all enjoyed the benefits of the Brake Clevis in 2007.

On March 17, 2007 the Brake Clevis helped Brandon Jesseman take his YZF 250 to victory, as he won the Orlando Supercorss. Fasst Company’s has been working with the Motoworld Yamaha team all season and is looking forward to helping Motoworld team riders stay up front for the remainder of the season.
