Just recently heard Ryan Hughes talking about how SX should had 350cc bikes for its top class cuz 450cc are too much for current tracks... And we always see people asking for the 125cc 2 Strokes bikes to be back.
What would you change in the 2 classes structures if you could?
I think I'd go with:
- 125cc 2 strokes AND electrics bikes
- 350cc

Go back to the greatest era....2 strokes only.
125cc class
250cc class
Do away with the stupid start assists on the bikes.
While we're at it...get rid of the damn grates and blocks too.
A 350 still pumps out simular top HP as the 450’s with a little mellower bottom. If a 450 is to fast for the current SX tracks, so is a 350..
The Shop
To make power even close to the present 250's they would have to be wound up to 20K plus rpm.
Get rid of the East West and make the 150 class a national series with a limit on pay and bonus to make sure we don't have career 150 class riders.
And then only the "top15"(10?) advances to these "final 3 (4? 5?) rounds" all combined, with points restarted.
Kinda NASCAR-ISH.. I know haha
Series organisation is a separate topic.
That'd bring a lot of the challenges back to jumping, whoops and speed
ICE displacements are not changing again. Last change was 24 years ago. Electric is next!
Pit Row
250 stock 4t full series entry level class
125 2t east west stepping stone class
I would also like to see an 85 or super mini exhibition class once in awhile these are the future pro's and it was a fun class to watch at the monster energy cup and is good experience for the kids
Open under 20 years old with a $15k claiming rule and 4 regions.
It's not about the bike..
250 4 strokes the new 250f’s are plenty powerful.
I would like to see less tech on the bikes, no holeshot devices, no traction control, no litpro’s
The riders need the skill to feel what’s quicker, not look at a laptop..
250 stock class would have to be "limited" though. Stock suspension in supercross is most likely a no-go for starters.
Keep 450s for Outdoor, MXGP, WORCS, etc. Then they don't have to stop making any bikes or start developing new sizes. All the bikes get made, don't have to change anything. Great solution.
Current class structure is not working anymore because there is no real speed difference between 250's and 450's anymore. Current 250 four strokes are already faster than the 250 two strokes used to be back in their hey day
The gap between the classes has never been more invisible. 250 four strokes do most everything the 450s can, and the things they can't if we're being honest are ridiculous and part of what makes 450 SX a bit boring and follow the leader.
125 entry class – low cost for the supposed satellite entry teams, better racing, and all amateur junior racing gains a lower barrier to entry as a result... we need participation for the sport's health – and no one needs to spend on a 250 engine program against their mortgage at the amateur level.
Make the 'pro' class, 300cc open. Two or four. Give the mfgs 5 years. The big four won't reboot two strokes, but it'll give amateurs a class pattern to follow, allow for privateers and small teams to build some badass two strokes, and if you remember the first couple years of the mixed comp, it was actually cool to see the differences between the bikes, what had an advantage where... and the racing is almost always better in the smaller class... so make the class that level bike and watch the riders push it to the max instead of tiptoeing in corners and jumping 3 onto a table and being scared to block pass because they're going 40mph.
