  • Last night, the 2022.5 KTM Factory Edition 250 and 450 SX-F motocross bikes were unveiled to the press at the Austrian manufacturer's American headquarters in Murietta, California. As part of the festivities, the media was given a guided tour of the Red Bull KTM race shop by John Hinz, President of KTM North America, Roger DeCoster popped in for parts of the tour as well, which was fascinating and interesting. Enjoy!

    You have to be 60 to realize how great Roger was and he has possibly contributed more to motocross over the years than anyone else.

      He did and does. He's a goldmine of motocross knowledge. That's why KTM is on top.

      No doubt! How many other supercross team managers would you find late at night dreaming up and machining on a lathe or mill a potential new part or part improvement…even if it’s only a part improvement to keep the factory awning straighter??? Roger DeCoster is the class of class in the moto world. You could probably put the next 3 race team managers together and they still wouldn’t come close to the depth of knowledge, understanding and insight that Roger possesses!

    Excellent tour by John, he is an outstanding learned face for the organization. As for Professor Emeritus, Mr. Roger DeCoster, call him "The Man", "Dirty Harry", whichever. He's cooler than the other side of the pillow, has been for over 50 years.
    I could probably make a valid, winning argument that he's been as important to motocross & supercross as the knobby tire.

    Suzuki cutting Roger and Ian lose was the biggest mistake they ever have done in the motocross concern. KTM took advantage and really did set the bar. Sure motocross is a small fraction within major japanese brands but , crazy how they should have learned by watching KTM progression.
