What's up, Jorge?
ARC levers make these rubber boots to cover the folding area of the levers for the Factory Kawasaki team.
We've seen many people ask where Monster Energy Kawasaki gets these slotted sideplates. Well, they're just stockers that have been cut with a water jet.
This is what the Factory Kawasaki air filter element and box look like. It's slightly tweaked to house an airfilter element that is closer to the size of the 2023 and prior models.
Drew Adams' Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki KX250. Sadly, Adams ended the day with a soft cast on his left wrist. We're not sure on his status going forward, we'll hopefully learn more before Southwick.
PC mechanics drill out the side panels to access the top shock mount bolt and the top subframe bolts, making it quicker to check between motos.
The details in the dimpled, titanium subframe bolts...drool.
Who doesn't love the extra layer of titanium welded on the headpipes for Pro Motocross? Nothing worse than rock dings in your new titanium headpipe.
Most of the PC team riders are running the stock engine mounts on the KX250 this year. Although some, like Masterpool, run a trimmed down version.
Pro Circuit race team suspension technician, Dave Cruz, doing his morning clicker count. Cruz was also Weston Peick's personal suspension technician the year that Weston went all in.
DCMX makes these cool front brake lever holders.
Seth Hammaker's Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki KX250.
Another look at the carbon fiber skid plate extension we showed you last week.
Here's what it looks like when it's not equipped. So much room for mud to pack in...
What's Pro Circuit's airbox situation look like? Basically, copy and paste of the factory 450 version we showed you above.
Still giving us Lightning McQueen vibes.
Shimoda is now taking now chances with his fingers.
The US Open of Golf was also in Pennsylvania over the weekend, and was on most team's TVs on Friday.
Hoping to hear some good news on Chance Hymas' knee situaiton this week.
We'll take two, please.
Jorge Prado is running his forks flush with the upper clamps.
Julien Beaumer's Red Bull KTM 250 SX-F.
Outside of Vialle being one of the only KTM group riders on the works shock, he's also the ONLY rider left on the old/stiffer frame. Note, no cutout around the shock tower. The team mentioned they have tested the new frame with him multiple times over the past two seasons but he keeps going back to the old one.
Beaumer's bike with the "kit" Pro Components shock and the windowed shock tower of the newer frame, which has been around for two seasons now.
Aaron Plessinger's Red Bull KTM 450 SX-F.
No, Plessinger is not on a Renthal Fatbar with a crossbar. He's on Twinwalls with a modified crossbar for more flex. It basically has a sliding junction piece under the bar pad.
Corey, whatcha buying?
Grumpy.
Clean fan placement.
Triumph's factory oil cooler unit removed, as the oil filter sits under it. Basically, the oil cooler lines are fitted into the oil filter cap.
The Triumph team has adopted CRM carbon fiber oversized fuel tanks for outdoors.
Another look at the tank with clear graphics material on it to protect from scratches. Also, from here, you can see some smal corner braces on the radiators.
Everyone on Triumph's factory squad is on the KYB PSF1 air fork now, except Austin Forkner. But he might be when it comes time for Southwick.
Jalek Swoll's caps look slightly different, as they aren't works KYB caps are instead production PSF1 caps.
As we mentioned earlier in the year, Triumph's US program switched from Motec to GET electronics.
Welcome back Jalek Swoll!
Yes, more Steg Pegz, featured here on Swoll's Triumph.
Swoll and a few others are running the taller brake pedal tip.
While Smith chooses this slightly wide and flatter looking version.
Some riders appear to be using a YZ shifter at Triumph.
While others choose the works option.
Swoll returned from an Achilles injury, only to crunch and break the top of his foot in the first moto at High Point. He still muscled through it for a top ten on return. Great job Jalek.
Boxo USA supports both the Triumph USA and Star Racing programs.
The champ's bike, Haiden Deegan's Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing YZ250F.
Nate Thrasher's Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing YZ250F. Nate is still the only member of the team to run a hydro clutch on the 250.
The hydro clutch master cylinder on Thrasher's bike. Where's the shifter? Well, we hear the team has tested an automatic setup...just kidding.
Love that vented plates have made a big comeback. Anchor Tape makes these for the Star Racing squad.
The man behind the #1's T handles, Brent Duffe.
High Point marked Kayden Minear's last Pro Motocross race until after Loretta Lynn's later this year. The plan is still for Minear to race SMX Next (SX Futures) next year, and then will likely go pro full-time for the 2026 Pro Motocross season.
We mentioned this earlier in the season, but for a small recap...yes, Eli Tomac is on KYB PSF1 air forks. Not the hybrid air/spring LSF forks like Justin Cooper and Cooper Webb.
Cooper Webb ran the Brembo/GYTR hydraulic clutch throughout Supercross on his way to his third 450 title, but switched to a cable clutch for Pro Motocross.
See, cable actuator. Also, you can see the carbon wings added to his frame we mentioned the last two weeks (ala Lawrence's Hondas).
Brake reservoir gaurd with grip tape gets it done on the right side of the bike.
Gavin Towers' Phoenix Racing Honda CRF250R. High Point was an improvement for the young racer but sadly the last of him we will see this season, as he's undergoing knee surgery this week. Expect a fill-in for Phoenix come Southwick.
Making sure even the tire cart is prepped and ready.
Supersprox is back in the USA.
Need more AIR!
P3 carbon supplies all the carbon goodies for the Phoenix Honda squad.
Hi Jacob.
The Liqui Moly Beta Factory Racing team competed in the last three Pro Motocross races to help support Benny Bloss in his SMX points standings quest. They were also able to give test rider Bryson Gardner a shot as well, which ended with him capturing a 15th place in moto two!
Gardner was racing with a Tubliss system in his Beat 450 RX.
Both front and rear.
While Bloss chose to go with the standard Bib Mousse for Pro Motocross.
FMF, drool...
Beta partnered with Bridgestone for 2025 and with that we get to see the Battlecross X10 in action! More "scoops"!
Hmmm, full waffle ODI grips.
Little heat shield tape to keep the fuel tank a bit cooler.
With basically a full field of riders running scoops, there's a lot of used ones to be found over at Dunlop.
And equally, a lot of new ones ready to mount.
Bold choice there.
The Lawrence brothers' dad, Darren Lawrence (Dazzy as most call him), can always be found having a good chat with the team...other riders...or even fans.
What a good pup! See you all in Southwick.
