The AEO KTM team has shops in Arizona and California, but the ownership is originally from the Pacific Northwest. In honor of that, they usually do some sort of special look for the Seattle round and they kept with it this year. KTM sells this light blue plastic for their models and SKDA worked up a pretty clean design to go with it. Octopi Media

SX rookie Lux Turner made his return after an early season injury, putting it in the main. Octopi Media

Another look. Octopi Media

The team has worked with Race Tech for the engine package for quite a few years now, Wageman chose to stick with that package for 2024. Octopi Media
Place holder
Cole Thompson has a little bit different package to Wageman. Octopi Media

Factory Connection suspension is the most obvious difference. Octopi Media

However, Cole has opted for his own engine program with Twisted Development. Octopi Media

See you all in St. Louis! Octopi Media
