"He prefers it front end high" Mechanic Jade Dungey on AP's ride | Bike Breakdown

Fan favorite Aaron Plessinger is leading the 450SX points standings after four rounds of racing in the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. It's been a noticeable turnaround to kick off 2024 for Plessinger, so Kris Keefer caught up with Plessinger's mechanic Jade Dungey at Anaheim 2 to dive into what is working between Plessinger and his machine. Hear Dungey talk about the feel Plessinger has been looking for with the new frame change, why the team went back to 48mm forks, what that big knuckle in his seat is all about, and so much more.

I’d love to see episodes on the mechanics. Like an after race tear down and also a pre race prep.

[@TechEnduro]

Jade is a cool guy, asked him a few question about the bikes at A1 and he was happy to answer.

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

Yeah that guy is chill ayye eff

[@benjaminacevedo2667]

What are the suspensions you are mounting? They don't look like wp cartridges?

[@platin2148]

I do wonder could they use there offical gnss as tracker?

[@NigelNaughton]

Jade and KTM....a great fit and both class acts 100%

[@canamxmr4760]

One of the most honest open factory run downs.

[@Lracer61]

AP and Jade are a great duo

[@randyroberts4239]

Jade looks like his dad's mini-me. I wouldn't want either one of them mad at me!

[@onthethrottle7104]

Jade was great to interview - awesome guy. I'm a fan now for sure...

[@MrZx357]

I bet the practice mechanic knows more about aps personal set up than jade.......

[@kirkdunn1379]

you dont really need any more in SX, these things are already such overkill for a stadium.......you can hear it at the races.......the 250fs are almost louder but not as much base, the 450s are lugging with a cpl hits of the motor here and there..........way too much bike even for the pros, laptimes are probably equal

[@lylesommers5018]

You’d think jade would have been Ryan’s mechanic.

[@FactoryBill]

Is that a ti stand?

[@connerburger8170]

[@brentyancich]

Available in the KTM Hardparts
