Earned media is powerful, especially when it's as flattering as what longtime journalist Jason Giacchino wrote about his time testing our Daytona!
"The Denago Daytona brought back everything we loved about the Raptor 250 and somehow managed to include more features (fuel injection, reverse, race safety equipment) while lowering the MSRP (a 2011 Raptor 250 went for $4,599 while a 2025 Daytona 250 retails for $2,699). Now ordinarily, with those type of numbers, you sort of expect a catch. If there is one, we couldn’t find it. We rode the Daytona hard, put it away wet and encountered no issues with reliability. After several months of testing, it has remained tight, squeak and rattle-free and has required only gasoline refills and the break-in oil change."
"When sitting on showroom floors, it’s quite impossible to differentiate these Denagos from offerings costing double and triple the MSRP."
