Probably just the new sound limits. I think it’s a couple decibels lower next year.
Can we please never say lites again for fucks sake.
agreed
SX1=450
SX2=250
I wonder if they would put a much lower sound limit for 250s? Might be an interesting way to seperate the bikes more on the track and give the 450’s a ‘bigger’ feeling in the stadium

I heard that too and was wondering exactly what that means for next year.
Right? It’s been over 12 years since they canned that stupid naming scheme.
RV still calls it Lites. Pretty funny. It was only named that for like 5 years I think right? 06-11ish?
Sounds like the Deegan’s talking out their ass again 😂😂 few months ago it was all “no chance going 450 in 26 sx” now all the sudden the script has flipped. Maybe the views are slowing down, need to get some chatter going!
Wonder what the decibel level from the monster trucks at Anaheim was last weekend ? Quieter race bikes..... GTFO with that shit.
Or as they say in Japan- the rights class
450 = BigBoy
250 = NancyBoy
I can't recall, has Deegan Jr won a Supercross Lites title yet?
I would guess that Deegan goes 450 for mx in 2026.
Yeah I would agree but in the video Brian teases sx 26.
2x SMX champ
How many monster truck tracks are getting shit down for noise ?
It’s the trickle down.
If they don’t have to design quieter exhausts for the Pros they won’t make them for us Joes.
what is a “lites” bike… 🤦♂️
Pit Row
Or – and I'm just spitballing here – how about we just call them 250 & 450 classes for both SX and MX?
Right? Or maybe the local/Pro NHRA, short track, NASCAR, the list goes on. No idea why AMA does this for dirt bikes?
Yeah man, I've never seen a Short track or Drag strip close due to noise complaints...
Who thinks we see Haiden ride a 450 at a couple of the east coast SX rounds this year?
You really don't have any idea? Really?
I bet Daytona
The MAIN reason is because our country is full of fucking pussies that whine and complain about the noise after moving close to a track that's been there for decades. Never mind the freeway noise and trucks using jake brakes and airplanes and sirens and helicopters and trains and leaf blowers and lawn mowers and every other stupid thing that makes noise.....
Yeah you're right.... I suppose if we just make them loud as fuck it'll fix that problem huh?
No, please enlighten me.
Not what I was saying but okay. Having spent 65 years in Ca. where it used to be motosports heaven and seeing all the tracks we used to have disappear, not just moto tracks, road courses dirt ovals and drag strips too. It's always been noisy. Am I bitter about the "New" generation that's SO upset over hearing motors in the background of their otherwise zen tranquillo lives ? Fucking A I am. Not gonna lie I'm fucking sick of people. Maybe my multiple concussions made me cynical who knows. The problem is even if every motorcycle was dead silent, the new age of puss cakes will still want tracks banned for some other reason. Oh how I would love to see the population embrace tracks like they used too. Trying to make them happy is mission impossible and I'm tired of them. Yes you can hear dirt bikes on the weekends and maybe during the day, so the fuck what who cares. God damn go enjoy your lives ya miserable fucks. That's whats frustrating to me
Not worth the time.
Not worth the time. = No good response.
