 
The 24 Hour torture test is an annual event hosted by Dirt Rider Magazine in which entrants run their machines over a closed course for a continuous 24 hour period, stopping only for routine maintenance, fuel, and to change riders.  This years event was a test of 250 4-stroke machines.  Each manufacturer was allowed to enter one stock and one modified bike. The Christini was run as a class by itself.  The Christini Team included Joe Giordano, Ben Smith, P.J. Cossman, Evan Yarnall, Scott Wynn and was anchored by company President Steve Christini.  The event took place at the Hungry Valley SVRA in Gorman, CA January 20-21.  The course consisted of a 23 mile loop (or a 16 mile cut-off) through the mountains and valleys of Southern California.  The weather was cold and sunny most of the day, and the rain the previous weekend made for some spectacular conditions.  A cold rain fell during most of the night leaving much of the trails a greasy, muddy mess...the perfect conditions to show off the unique capabilities of the Christini AWD System. Editors from Dirt Rider Magazine each got to ride and evaluate the machines through a variety of terrain.  The Christini was a huge hit with everyone who rode it.  
Shortly after 10:00am Wednesday morning, the Christini AWD250X crossed the line completing a grueling 24 hour test without mechanical incident.
 
Christini would like to thank all the people and companies that helped us in our efforts to prove the durability of this amazing system. FMF, Cycra, UFO Plast, Throttle Jockey, Thumper Racing, Baja Designs, WER, and Tire Balls.
