And if that wasn’t enough encouragement to vote, our pals over at DMR Bikes have offered up a star prize of DMR goods for a randomly chosen voter, with an additional ten sets of Deathgrips for runners up. In order to qualify for the prize draw, though, you must have voted in every category.

The winner will get all of: a set of DMR V-Twins, a set of DMR Vaults, a DMR Saddle and a pair of DMR Deathgrip grips. And the nice folks at DMR will make sure you get exactly the colour and model you want so that your bike will be the best-dressed in the street.
