There are eight total riders that have won at least one 450SX main event in their career, as we have noted that as well.

Red Bull KTM

The Red Bull KTM team will have a three-rider roster as returning riders Cooper Webb and Marvin Musquin will be joined by Aaron Plessinger. The team goes into 2022 with an all-new KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition.
