Ken Roczen clinched the overall win in Abu Dhabi at the final round of the WSX series, securing second in the championship behind Eli Tomac. Hear Roczen discuss finding his comfort zone on the bike, the key changes he’s made, and more in this exclusive interview from the WSX final!
Ken Roczen, the German motocross star, recently shared his thoughts on his performance during the Abu Dhabi round of the Supercross season. Despite facing a challenging start, Roczen remains optimistic, believing that once he fine-tunes his suspension settings, he can unlock even greater speed and aggression on the track.
Roczen acknowledged the importance of finding the right suspension adjustments, specifically referring to his bike’s “clickers.” These adjustments control the rebound and compression of the suspension, significantly affecting the bike’s handling. He noted that once he gets his clickers dialed in, he expects to be much more aggressive, which could propel him to the front of the pack.
Throughout the season, Roczen has been a consistent contender, but he feels that fine-tuning his setup in Abu Dhabi could make a significant difference. He emphasized how vital it is to have the bike perfectly dialed to match the unique conditions of each race track, especially one as technical as Abu Dhabi’s. The environment and the track itself pose a unique challenge, and the right suspension setup plays a critical role in maximizing performance.
Roczen’s confidence in his ability to perform aggressively once the setup is right indicates his readiness to take on the competition. With his experience and skill, coupled with the right adjustments, he believes he can challenge for podium positions and ultimately fight for the championship.
As the season progresses, fans are eager to see how Roczen’s strategic approach to bike setup and his growing confidence will impact his performance in upcoming races. If his predictions hold true, he could soon be battling at the front once again.
