THIS WEEK IN MXA WITH JOSH MOSIMAN: LAST MONTH IT WAS THE BRITISH, NOW IT’S THE ITALIANS

The Big Four is no more! The motocross market place has grown and you don’t even have to count the explosion of electric bikes to discover that lots of manufacturers wants to be in the motocross market—just not that many Japanese companies. As for the Big Four, it  is likely that in the next year or two that will jump to the Big Nine—all of the new editions from Europe (if you don’t look into where they are actually made). That list has now grown bigger than the Big Four and  includes KTM, GasGas, Husqvarna, Triumph, Ducati, TM and Beta.

It is an exciting time to be a motocrosser as Honda will have Trey Canard race their electric CRF in the All-Japan Championship this weekend and 2023 World Champion Jorge Prado flew to the USA to try out Supercross for a possible move to SoCal in 2025.
