2024 Swapmoto Live 250 Shootout

Back for the second year in a row, Swapmoto Live hired SMXPICTURES to photograph the 2024 250 shootout event at Fox Raceway.

Here's what goes down at a shootout as said by Swapmoto Live, "It’s time to gather all of the current 2024 250 MX bikes, a handful of test riders, and technicians from every manufacturer. [The test riders are asked] to ride [the bikes] back-to-back to see how they stack up against one another. This year, the only all-new bikes are the Gas Gas MC250F and Yamaha YZ250F; the other four machines return with minimal or no changes at all. While the Gas Gas is all-new for the brand only because the ’23 model did not get the chassis updates that the other two Austrian machines did, the Yamaha boasts an all-new chassis and bodywork, as well as revised suspension settings and some engine upgrades in search of greater durability."
