Just a thought... but, as I've been looking at a crap load of pics from the MX Nationals over the last few days, I've picked up on something..


Seems like 80 per cent of the Lites field run the handlebars back in their lap somewhere, while 80 per cent of the Open riders run a more forward and upright bend of bar. What's the go? Why are the Lites guys running the bars so back, yet the Open guys forward?

is it an age thing (as most of the Lites guys are Younger) or is it something to do with horsepower and weight of the bike?

Who knows.. it's got me puzzled though.
