Vital MX Pit Bits: 2024 Birmingham Supercross

Birmingham offered indoor pits via a convention center next door. Octopi Media

Triumph's indoor pits were clean and tidy. Octopi Media

Pete Fox launched Renen a few years ago now, but is finally making a push in racing with Triumph and Ti-Lube Honda for 2024. Octopi Media

AC and El Hombre warming up...but what are they watching? Octopi Media

The Formula 1 race from Saudi Arabia. Octopi Media

The newest gen KX450 sure pops in race trim. Octopi Media

Even top teams use sag scale sticks. Octopi Media

Aaron Plessinger hasn't deviated so far, still utilizing the latest works WP shock and cone valve 48mm fork. Octopi Media

What the top of the current 48mm cone valve fork looks like. Octopi Media

Chase Sexton continues on with a modified production shock and his unique forks... Octopi Media

Hard to see from here, but that's still the KYB insert fork... Octopi Media

There were rumors that Barcia would be on new suspension come Indy. Well, sorta. He's not on the setup that Sexton is but is instead of WP Pro Components instead of the new works shock and fork. What does this signify? Probably an outside source is assisting in Barcia's setup so it's all being done on components the public can buy. Who could it be? There's a list we would suspect from Factory Connection, REP, TCD or maybe someone else... Octopi Media

No KYB inserts for Barcia, but a set of WP Pro Components instead of the works tubes...furthering our thought that someone else is involved in his tuning now. Octopi Media

Yes, Jett is still using the braced frame. Octopi Media

Still reminds us of Lightning McQueen. Octopi Media

Even though Star has three riders on East, that's still under the original five they were set to have... Octopi Media

Star has the option of high and low-speed compression, plus low-speed rebound on the top adjuster of their shock. With high-speed rebound being found on the clevis as usual. Octopi Media

First heat race win with a fractured collarbone, way to go Coty. Octopi Media

The ride that almost wasn't. Shock's season was in doubt less than two months prior to the season opener, but it all worked out. Octopi Media

The Club crew has definitely found some extra HP this year. Octopi Media

Extra tank size for the muddy conditions. Octopi Media

The ClubMX crew has gone away from a scoop-style airbox lid in favor of heavily vented stock unit. Octopi Media

Hammaker's machine was full mud-ready by the looks of that seat cover. Octopi Media

Octopi Media

New lid? Yup, HJC is working on a new top-of-the-line helmet and Colt Nichols is the first to run it publicly. It doesn't come out until 2025 though. Octopi Media
