The next lasting trend

Four-piston front brake calipers.

Something like variable mapping for different sections of the track using GPS, electric bikes, more body technique to keep the rear wheel on the ground longer, more "flow" in the plastics like the new KTMs.

"Clean 2 Strokes"

Hot pink and purple.

Heelclickers man, never seen so many winners do them like they did in 2015. Even Dungey and today Grant. DV would be proud.

Lever skins

Custom vans with "themes", murals on the sides, teardrop windows, and wet bars....oh, and quadraphonic sound systems

Matte black helmets

Bingo. Or just solid helmets in general. I got a white shoei vfx w and noticed that almost everyone around here has either a solid white or solid matte black helmet. Times are tough. There is no money for cool graphics or paint anymore.

2stroke 250 facelift plastic that gets updated every year the new 4 stroke body work gets updated.

Upper body - under shirt armor with good airflow and PROPER shoulder protection / possible neckbrace integration.

Oakley goggles collaborating with LITpro to use the heads-up display from the Airwave google to display stats from the last laps in real time to the rider.

Works bikes: Hydraulic rams on the upper and front engine mounts that can torque the engine forward & backwards about 1mm each way (enough that it doesn't snap or de-rail the chain) - it could maybe be used entering / exiting corners / to adjust the bike in the air.

Bikes that are quiet enough that you can ride them in your back yard without your neighborhood complaining or at your local track without the threat of it closing down due to noise.

"Dirt Bike Kid" or "DBK" in your favorite local boy's instagram bio.

My friends that just started riding 250F's and 450's and going 1/4 throttle everywhere instead of learning on a 125 because "ALL THE SX GUYS RIDE 4 STROKES!"

Less riding areas because the bikes are so loud and the sound carries farther.

"Kits on point."

"That setup is FIRE."

More feet being jumped than CC's jumping them.

Making more money by NOT racing.

Just got sick to my stomach remembering how bad that 17 kicked around .... Might as well say Barum wrap around for hard packed tracks.
