No garage is complete without a full complement of Maxima aerosol products, each of which has been thoughtfully designed with a very specific purpose. Knocking out corrosion? Grab a can of our Multi-Purpose Penetrant Lube. Guarding your engine against dirt? Go to town with our Fab-1 Spray-On Air Filter Oil. Need to restore and protect your plastics? Reach for Maxima’s famous SC1 high-gloss coating, which has been appropriately referred to as “New Bike in a Can™” due to its almost-magical ability to recondition your machine. Across the board, Maxima is proud to offer the top aerosol products in every category—and trust us, your bike will thank you.

Las Vegas, NV SMX World Championship FinalSuperMotocross World Championship

This weekend, the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) Playoffs begins our final, three-race sprint to finish out the AMA Supercross and Motocross calendar. The three-round playoffs payout single event points at round one (so the win is 25 points), double points at round two (so the win is 50 total points), and triple points at the finale (so the win is 75 total points). We know where the riders are sitting at the completion of the 28 regular season races—17 Monster Energy AMA Supercross races then 11 rounds of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship—but how much money will each position pay out? Remember, only the top 22 riders in both classes will earn the championship bonus. Riders 23rd and back will not earn a championship payout.

So far in the two SMX Playoff seasons to date, both Haiden Deegan (250SMX) and Jett Lawrence (450SMX) have repeated as champions in their respective divisions. Deegan’s two 250SMX titles were each worth $500,000 a piece, whereas Lawrence’s two 450SMX titles were each $1,000,000 a piece. Tom Vialle finished second in the 250SMX Championship last fall and took home $250,000, whereas Hunter Lawrence, second behind his brother in 450SMX, took home $500,000. Again, top 22 earn some extra cash, whereas 23rd and on, thanks for racing, better luck next year.

Check out this post from October 1, 2024, to view the full 450SMX finishing positions and payouts for each rider.

Without further ado, check out the championship payout by position. Plus, check out how much each rider will earn for each individual race. A 450SMX overall win means $100,000! A perfect sweep could be $300,000 on top of the 450SMX Championship million dollar payout!
