250s can only run off the shelf suspension so its slim pickings really, Roczen won MEC with the KYB setup but that will be full factory unobtainium stuff.

Wonder what suspension Townley will run on the 450? Probably spring sprung showa A kit im guessing.

When I saw roczen at the mec I slow-mo'd it several times to see what he was running. No markings on his forks. How do you know it was kyb? Kyb air or spring?

250's can only run off the shelf ? Your joking right ? In pretty sure no one can buy the shock or forks that any factory 250 team runs

[Rotaholic]

No that's the rules, most suspension shops have them listed on their website. You can ride the same setup as them if the budget allows

[Hans Schmid]

250f class has to run production based components. Components that you as the consumer can buy. 450f class can run full works...
