HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW MXA? THE 450 SHOOTOUT ISSUE IS JAM-PACKED FULL OF INFO

On Dec 23, 2017 Last updated Dec 23, 2017

You don’t have to guess what’s in the January 2018 issue of MXA. It’s all about bikes.

The 2018 Suzuki RM-Z250 is at its cross roads, tipping point and end of its useful lifespan. Something has to happen in 2019 or this will officially be a play bike.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! You already know who won. So do we. It’s obvious to all but the deluded. The winner is the best bike in the class by leaps and bounds. We tell you why one bike won and five bikes lost.

This isn’t a one-day shootout, the MXA gang lived with these six bikes for many months (and we mean lived with them at the races). We wanted o be the last 450 Shootout because we didn’t want to rush the results until we had all the answers.

Austin Forkner will be moving the 250 East Supercross series after breaking his wrist. Read what he thinks about his injury-prone career.

We don’t have all the answers to your technical questions, but we know the guys who do and we are willing to call them up for you.

Why buy a Timbersled snow bike, when you can pick up a 1968 Husky and put some skiis on it. Be sure to make room for a radio, gun, hand shifter and black-out lights.

Do you know the difference between the Husky FC350 and KTM 350SXF? You will after you read this in-depth shootout.

We take the time to explain what a desaxe crank is and why five out of six modern motocross bikes have them.

This is the bike that Zach Osborne won the 2017 AMA 250 East and 250 National Championships on—okay, he had a few trick parts, but probably didn’t need them
