It has been a tough haul for KTM in the 450 class. Dungey, way to go and also have to give credit all the way across the line including the Man, Carlos, Pit Beirer, etc for listening to what the bike should be, build it and go win a SX title. Would be great to see the turbo diesel win the outdoors this season.

The guy defines class. So stoked for Dunge and the whole RedBull KTM crew.

Congratulations on a great SX season.

After lap 1 I was sure that his podium streak was ending tonight with the championship clinching scenario and the guys ahead of him. Oh well he kept on pushing and made it into 2nd anyway.

He was (and is) the fastest and most consistent this year; well deserved! Dungey is perseverance personified. Awesome season! RD1!

Someone else owns the #1 plate this year, Dungey can't run it. It will come out at A1 2016.

So Pumped for him, im pounding coor's light with lemon (dont judge me, its fucking good)

Im stoked that HE WAS ..........NEXT!!!

i really am, because at the beginning of the season i wrote him off with a few others thinking roczen was going to walk away with it. but im glad i was wrong and dungey is officially the dungenator in my eye's... dude has some skillful aggression, kinda like a sniper in action.

Yep!

It wouldn't be smart to bet against him winning it.

As good as he look in SX, it will be very interesting to see how it looks outside.

Well done Dungey!

Outdoors should be epic.

I made three rounds last year, Milleville, Redbud and Indiana. Hope to make the same three this year.

Congratulations Dungey, and the entire KTM squad for that matter. From the very start I knew Dungey could take the title. So many people hyped Roczen, and with good reason. Although I felt like jumping on the bandwagon at times early in the season, I remained faithful that RD5 would clinch the 2015 Championship. Here we are 15 rounds later and he stood upon the podium wearing that bright orange #1 jersey. That KTM is going to look real nice with that #1 plate back where it belongs. I would say Tomac and Roczen are on the same level in terms of speed, and I enjoy watching them equally but in the end Dungey is superior in being smooth and consistent. As for outdoors, I'm already in high hopes of him winning the title as well. The racing didn't disappoint!

Dungey got a lot of shit here over the last couple of years, industry people were saying it too. Which led to the comment on his interview about people talking shit. I would say that most of them were people who wanted pissed off Dungey from Southwick because they knew what he is capable of, not just shit talkers. Well something happened between that interview and the following week because follow the leader Dungey hasn't been seen since. I only wish it had happened earlier because he could have stopped RV from reeling off 4 in a row.

Congratulations to RD#1 and the whole KTM team!

About the only chance we had all season to see how Ryan dealt with a poor start and he looked damn good. A well earned and deserved championship!

And KTM. I remember some discussion about linkage.

It is awesome to see KTM win the premier SX championship, woo hoo!

Racecraft, bro.

Dungey's is superior in his to his peers at this time. He knows what to do.

What I find most amazing about Dungey is that he always seems under control. For someone to dominate a season like he did without riding on the edge is really amazing. One of the most intelligent riders I have ever seen

A true gentleman and a great ambassador for KTM and our sport.

He didn't luck into this, he dedicated his life to it with a level of commitment that few will ever know. Outstanding!
