Viral Optics Elite Riders Shine at the Final AMA Outdoor National and Red Bull TKO
This past weekend was a monumental one for our Viral Optics Elite riders, as they competed in two of the most challenging events on the motocross and off-road calendars: the Final AMA Outdoor National at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and the Red Bull TKO in Tennessee. Our riders demonstrated incredible grit, determination, and skill, all while sporting the industry-leading Signature Series Viral Goggles, which undoubtedly played a role in their success.
Final AMA Outdoor National at Ironman Raceway
The last round of the 2024 AMA Outdoor Nationals, brought to you by Monster Energy and MX Sports, took place at the legendary Ironman Raceway. In a season full of highs and lows, the final event did not disappoint, with Chase Sexton being crowned the champion and Eli Tomac making a triumphant return to the podium.
Amidst the fierce competition, Viral Optics Elite riders Cade Clason and Kile Epperson put on a show, making their way into the Main Event. With over 80 riders competing for just 40 spots on the gate, the pressure was immense. However, Cade Clason, who doesn’t regularly race the outdoor series, impressed everyone by securing a spot directly into the Main Event with the 35th fastest qualifying time. His determination and skill, along with the superior performance of his Viral Goggles, ensured he was ready to face the tough track conditions head-on.
Kile Epperson faced a tougher battle, qualifying 46th fastest. Undeterred, Kile dug deep in the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), finishing 4th and securing his place in the Main Event. This was a true testament to his resilience and the reliability of his Viral Goggles, which offered him the clear vision and comfort needed to perform under pressure.
By the end of the weekend, Cade finished 29th and Kile 30th overall, capping off an incredible season. As we move into the break before the 2025 Supercross season, these riders can be proud of their achievements, knowing that Viral Optics will be there to support them every step of the way.
Red Bull TKO in Tennessee
Meanwhile, down in Tennessee, the Red Bull TKO—a grueling event feared by even the most seasoned riders—took place. Known for its brutal terrain and unforgiving course, the TKO is a true test of endurance and skill. Viral Optics Elite and Factory Reiju rider Haden Mosa took on the challenge, finishing an impressive 26th overall.
The Red Bull TKO is one of the most punishing events on the circuit, and making it to the finish line is an achievement in itself. Haden’s performance, bolstered by his Viral Goggles, was nothing short of remarkable. The advanced features of the Viral Goggle—such as the quick-change polycarbonate lens, wide field of view, and the unbeatable sweat-channeling system—proved invaluable in helping Haden maintain his focus and vision throughout the race.
The Viral Optics Advantage
What makes the Viral Goggle stand out in these intense competitions? It's the combination of cutting-edge technology and rider-focused design. Our Signature Series + goggles, equipped with features like the modular frame, magnetic face foam, and quick-change strap design, offer unmatched comfort, durability, and clarity. These features were crucial for our riders as they navigated through the treacherous conditions at both Ironman Raceway and the Red Bull TKO.
The Viral Goggle’s ability to adapt to various environments and provide a crystal-clear field of view is what helped our riders push through to the finish line. Whether it was the rough, rutted tracks of Ironman Raceway or the rugged, unforgiving terrain of the TKO, Viral Goggles delivered unparalleled performance.
Looking Forward
As the 2024 season comes to a close, we at Viral Optics are incredibly proud of our Elite riders and their accomplishments. With the break before the 2025 Supercross season, we’re excited to continue supporting our athletes with the best eyewear in the industry. Viral Optics will always be there to ensure our riders have the vision they need to cross the finish line, no matter the challenge.
