Like an idiot, I sold the XTRIG ROCS clamps that came with a later-model YZ250F I purchased. And I had never ridden with them.
While I do really, really like the Neken SFS clamps I put on, I have always wondered "what's so special about the XTRIG ROCS clamps anyway?!"
So … let's hear your XTRIG ROCS performance-related experiences!

1) They split the clamps, which reduces bushing binding in the forks. See https://luxonmx.com/blog-luxon-split-triple-clamps-flex-advantage.html for more info about that.
2) The PHDS bar mounts have a different rubber mounting system. Some people really like them. We stuck a datalogger on the bike and logged shock and vibration and found them to be only slightly better than the stock KTM rubber mount design we were comparing it to. It wasn't enough of a benefit to justify their added weight (nearly a full pound!).
Your Neken SFS clamps will have a better feel at the bars due to the SFS system, but the Xtrig will be a touch better due to the split clamps as far as suspension plushness. It's not a massive difference, though.
