About Wash-15

Wash-15 Offroad was born at the 15th water crossing on Wash Road in Glamis: a place that has defined generations of riders, builders and desert families. After decades of riding and breaking whips, we finally asked:

Why hasn’t anyone fixed this yet?

So we did.

Our goal is simple: build gear that keeps people riding longer, safer and with less hassle. We design every product from a rider’s perspective, test them in real dunes, and machine them here in the U.S. from materials that last.

  • We don't build gimmicks.
  • We build gear that works.

Born from 60 Years of Duning

For more than 60 years, our family has lived, built, raced and ridden across the deserts of Southern California. We grew up on sand dunes, dirt trails, rock canyons and those thin black ribbons of asphalt connecting them all.

Generations before us were inventing SoCal car culture in their own way:

  • Building braking systems for the Challenger I to break the world land-speed record
  • Fabricating dune buggies from scratch
  • Designing legendary race tracks and racing stock cars in LA 
  • Inventing hydraulic lifts used on almost all trucks and buggies run today 

For us, riding wasn't a hobby. It was a way of life.

Since the 1960s, Glamis has been our second home. Not because we needed to be the fastest or jump the farthest, but because out here, if you’re riding, you’re winning. And if you’re winning, you’re living.

In 2010, after decades of riding and constantly breaking those all-important safety whips, we invented a mount unlike anything on the market. It didn’t come from a boardroom, it came from our camp at Wash-15, surrounded by friends, old school stories, vintage ATCs and the place that shaped us.

Today, Wash-15 Offroad continues the family tradition:

Simple designs for real problems. Elegant solutions for everyday riders. And products built to last as long as you’re young enough to ride.
