shipped and helping new customers with their installs or questions. It makes for a great work environment, and we believe that every employee has something to offer, even if it isn’t in their particular area of expertise.” This “homemade” feel is something Campbell and Maughan work very hard tomaintain. Each and every Razor- back Technology gauge, down to its last component, is American Made. “I sometimes get a lot of flak from people about this,” Campbell chuckles. “I’m actually a Canadian citizen with a Green Card. I’ve come to love this country and believe America is greatest country on earth. America has afforded me so many opportunities and because of this, I want to give as many people here as possible that same opportunity. Whether it’s using the machinist five miles down the road, or hiring a local high school kid part time, I believe keeping things local and in the U.S. helps all of us in the long run. It’s the least I can do.” Campbell’s sense of civic duty is truly admirable. “At some point you have to look at non-cash profits,” he says. “There’s something profitable about keeping a local family afloat in today’s economy by keeping the machining here in Burley. Soldering a circuit board is almost a lost art, but we have high school kids in here soldering boards and learning skills they never even knew existed. We’re always looking for American ways to streamline our process. We work so hard to source our materials, including labour. It’s easy to cut corners in business these days. We just don’t do it.” For the team at Razorback Technology the American Made guarantee equals a robust product. The way Campbell sees it, one or two days’ pay better be worth it. “So when someone has an issue with the product, we think of the money they spent and what it represents. We fix any problems immediately. If you accidentally damage your gauge, we fix it and get it back to you inside of a week. We ship everything in two to three business days, and sometimes even overnight at our own expense just so a customer can be ready for their weekend ride. You only get so many opportunities to ride each year, and your Razorback Technology Gauge will be ready to go for every time,” he boasts.
upload-your-temps, riders are encouraged to fill out a form that asks for: the make of the machine, any major aftermarket modifications, condition of the belt, type of terrain the vehicle frequents, ambient temperature, belt temperature, and the type of gauge. “Infrared sensors have never been adapted to UTVs, Snowmobiles, or even Belt Drives in general.” “Right now we’re looking at this data – and more – and working on an improved Belt Temp Gauge that will be even more robust and accurate,” Campbell says. “People are taking their UTVs farther, and in harsher conditions, every year and we want our gauges to follow along. Our newest Belt Temp Gauge - 3.0 Edition will have a fully waterproof design, so you can take it through any mud hole, river, or pond that you find yourself up against on the trail. The Pro Sensor that will come with it is even more accurate at reading the belt temperature, and it will have a redesigned screen that is more functional and easier to read in the bright sun. We will also have more traditional gauges coming out later in 2016: Boost gauges, water temp, oil temp, and even oil pressure.” The only thingmore inspiring than Campbell’s visionmoving forward is where the dream began. It’s a story many motor- sports enthusiasts tell in one way or another. “My dad was always involved withMotorsports. My exposure to the world of horsepower started off with his ‘67 Nova – with a big shot of Nitrous,” he laughs. “Over the years he transitioned from cars, to ATVs and snowmobiles. Being around the high horsepower snowmobiles is what really got me hooked. His sleds would pull so hard, you could hardly hang on, and ever since I experienced that struggle to just hang on from the acceleration, I was 100% in.” The whole team at Razorback Technology is 100% in. You’ll find Razorback Technology Dealers across America: California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylva- nia, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
