A duet of energy and effortlessness that will rocket it to the top of the MX1 charts for sure. Because the powerful two-stroke appeals not only due to its technology – which is just as clear-cut as it is inventive – but also due to its low-cost maintenance. A super lightweight and stable frame, plus a new setting for the forks and PDS shock absorber make the new 250 SX a serious opponent for every four-stroke.
