The only aftermarket triple clamps I have ever considered are Luxon, for the sole reason that Billy actually explains the logic and engineering behind his designs.  Along with sharing testing data from his experiences as an engineer.

What's cool is his high end clamps have 4 offsets. Awesome to see factory level stuff be available for the regular consumer.

YZ250 always seems to come up in the offset discussion. Reed ran 22.5mm for SX on the steely. Unsure what else was done to the bike like pull rods, subframe mods, and anything else. You either love or hate changing the offset on the YZ.

Now it looks like 23/23.5mm is what they are making for the YZ now. Very expensive mod to change handling characteristics.

I am running top of the line Luxon clamps for the following reason ...

1. They are functionality better than stock ktm, i suck, but i am ggood eenough to nnotice better feel and ccomfort with them.

2. They look cool

3. The owner of Luxon is a long time friend, supports the sport so I want to support him.

4. I stopped drinking 20 months ago, dropped 60lbs and learned i wasted an iinfinite amount of mmoney on beer vs bIke parts.

5. I buy what i want, and dont give a fuck what anyone thinks or says. 😀 

Kudos on #5. 😄 Me too.

2018 KTM 300XC - No

2021 KX450 - No

2024 Stark Biden Buggy - No

2008 YZ 125 - Yes. I have a set of Bud Racing clamps on this solely because the OEM clamps do not allow the bars to be forward enough on the clamps. I always feel cramped on YZ two strokes, and this remedies the situation for cheap.
