I'm going to say shift/fox since they will want some presence in the 250 class and since pc is going to be yami and reed will be under the pc tent with his factory yami, it all fits well!

FLY was one of the gear companies trying to get the contract. Havn't heard as of late who they ended up signing with. I would think AlpineStar would be in the mix as well due to Tomac moving the Kawi.

I mentioned this the other day in a Yamaha related thread. Thor and PC is no more and Thor has gone after Star Racing Yamaha for next year. I've heard that both Fox and Fly are very interested in PC.

Me too! The PC setup is great and some great looking bikes, BUT, they're too 'samey' year on year.
I could barely tell the difference between a 2010/11/12/13/14 bike, (when glanced at with no side by side pictures)

I found it refreshing when they changed from black plastic to the green this last year.

Great look, just keep freshening it up, please!

TLD would fit well..... I'm also a big fan of Shift personally but the new TLD kit looks awesome.

I'm just saying…. Heard a little bird say that it was Astar. If you have been paying attention to the PartsUnlimited Thor Astar relationship with PC, well… Yeah. AC back in his childhood get up. Many more rumors about the PC team out there as well, Kawi / M may be out of the mix soon too.

I'm gonna say fox. With Ktm not running the 250 program anymore fox is left without any factory team running them. PC bikes with fox look good.

One major problem, all of PC's riders are KMC contracted riders. That makes switching for next year, basically impossible without Mitch losing every one of his riders.

I'd love to see PC with shift gear and fox boots, like hannys set up. Or Astar gear or seven. I personally think the Thor gear hasn't looked good the past couple yrs. same with ONE

I didn't say next year for the KMC / M, I said "soon". What are your thoughts on the A-Star comment?

Mmm... I'm up in the air. Personally, I don't think A-Stars will spend the money to do it. I see Fox or Fly going big on their bids to get PC. Also, I'm not sure if A-Stars would want to ruffle Parts Unlimited's feathers (their exclusive boot distributor) by going after the team they dropped...

I have been with AXO for a few years now but I am very happy to be with Fly racing now. Great company . Not sure how that would work though since Fly and WPS are close. And PC is close with parts unlimited

Juicy….

Modelled after the 2016 KX450F?

Also, I recently heard from a 'source' of a KX125 or 150 in the works. Any knowledge of this?

I know right? But I was told by from a reliable source 'the Kawasaki USA guys are buzzing about a possible 125 or even 150 coming down the pipeline' I could not extract any more details.

I guess we are getting a little off topic here, but does anyone happen to know what the sales numbers are for the KTM 150's? I guess I could work "the google" but I'm not, so sue me, haha.

Last I heard was that Fox was jumping in for PC but we'll wait and see on that. Fox's gear setup when they were on GEICO Honda not long ago looked very, very sharp.

This would be nice to see the team in and step up their style factor with wearing different sets of gear rather than the same thing every race.

We will see what happens.
