2-STROKES ONLY: 2018 RED BULL STRAIGHT RHYTHM MACHINES

The 2018 Red Bull Straight Rhythm is all about 2-Strokes this year and that is more than fine with us. We took a quick stroll around the pits before qualifying and here are some of the premix burning machines we found.

Tyler Bowers and “The Unit” posted up. Bowers was sidelined with a hand injury but don’t worry you will see a lot more of this machine in the future!

Steel frame mafia. We have seen this machine around SoCal for about the last year and we never get tired of looking at it.

One of the best looking RM250 builds we have seen in a long time. The Bills Pipe/TWMX machine is sweet.

Josh Grant’s HLTN/Twisted Development Husqvarna looks fast just sitting on the stand. These Dirt Digit graphics that Mike G helped design look clean.

TM Racing USA out in full force with riders in both classes. This is “Jumpin Johny’s” ride.

Pourcel is back in the USA and riding both the 125cc and Open class on Bud Racing Husqvarna backed machines.

Brownie stole Jason Anderson’s full factory Rockstar Husqvarna for the event. We don’t think Anderson will be getting it back.

Moto Whips was out in full force showing off a bunch of sweet 2-Stroke builds. Justin and his crew does amazing work.

Yes they make two-stroke exhaust. It’s not easy to get or cheap but Akrapovic does make it.

Doesn’t get much more factory than this. The two Ryan’s have almost identical KTM250SX factory built machines at this years event.

Older Honda CR125R under the Bubba Burger tent.

Crowd favorite Ronnie Mac with his signature setup ready to do battle.
