In Case You Missed It
After welcoming the powersports world to the world’s largest aftermarket event — The SEMA Show — Harley-Davidson rolls into Las Vegas as a foundational anchor for the new Powersports Pavilion.
Speaking of SEMA, the 2026 SEMA Battle of the Builders competition will debut a new element – a dedicated Motorcycle category, expanding the competition to include some of the finest custom two-wheeled vehicles in America.
Claiming it intends to preserve what makes each brand unique, SuperATV picked up four brands from Nivel’s powersports portfolio, including HighLifter, Snorkel Your ATV, Falcon Ridge and Side By Side Stuff, all of which were previously part of Nivel’s off-road vehicle portfolio.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce 7 Hills Harley-Davidson is permanently closing,” says the Loomis Family.
