We've corralled these bikes together and kept them in stock
trim, just as they'd be off the showroom floor. Our nine jockeys
ranged from current pros to novice racers and everything in
between. To keep the playing field level we took these bikes

allowed our riders to make the same changes that one could
easily make at home—air pressure, suspension clickers, lever
adjustments, etc. The 250cc Four-Stroke MX Shootout is any-
thing but predictable despite what the spec sheets list. Read
along to see how the 250's true colors shined through once
the gates dropped and the bikes hit the ground running.
