Garage Build
2024 KTM 300 SX
BIKE Build by Gary Sutherlin
WORDS: Kris Keefer
PHOTOS: Jeremy Doerksen

I mean, when you think of two-strokes, you think of Minions, right? Well, maybe not, but Gary Sutherlin had the bright idea to create a Minions-themed KTM 300 SX for the annual World Two-Stroke Nationals at Glen Helen Raceway. The former AMA National Hare and Hound champion and WORCS champion took time off from his duties at FLY Racing to create a KTM with added power, comfort, and flair.

We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
