This is why pit bits is the coolest weekly feature in MX.
Yes the surface temp of the radiator is pretty hot. HOWEVER the air moves through so quick that there likely isn't a huge difference in the temperature of the ambient air temp and the air that has passed through the radiator fins. Even if the air is a little warmer than ambient temp, its still better to get some flow to the shock rather than just letting it sit in the stagnant air that's coming of the engine which much warmer than the air coming through the radiator.
Side note: Looks like shit, they couldn't have made it a little more refined?? I'm sure they don't want carbon as it'd affect the flex characteristics of the chassis, but there has to be a better option.
Did you read my later posts?
And yeah, it kinda looks like someone took a heat gun to an AC duct off a car and worked it until they thought, "that'll do". 😄
It's for warming the nitrous bottle.

That's a gas cap
The fan blows into the airbox making it turbocharged now.
Is that what a double boost port is?
Can we not get a photo of the fork caps?
There’s literally photos of the forks explaining how to spot the difference between KYB inserts and WP internals in this week’s Pit Bits.
I read it in a rush, my bad.
"Toy Hauler Park Boys" Rickyism right there
Yep, but can we not see the top of the caps, the preload adjuster or whatever is going on there.
I find it all interesting how they make the KYB which is vastly different to the WP compression valve look so alike.
Also seems AP has moved from the air fork to the spring fork or whatever he is running. Mookie seems to be on the same as AP...?
To those asking why they don't turn the fan 90 degrees to draw cooler air, I would imagine it's too bulky to fit perpendicular to the cylinder, and may not generate strong enough air flow without the aid of forced air from movement, and then will also be hindering air flow through the radiator rather than aiding it. Just a guess.
