I took the plunge and bought the "new" Nexen Spring/Air clamp to try on my 17 450 SX-F. As Neken makes the clamps for KTM I only had to buy the top clamp which houses the mechanical spring/air components. Note the clamp I bought is the newly released model with two mechanical springs and a single schrader valve to fine tune/adjust pressure/movement. It's not the "expensive" one that is 100% air that Dungey and several other pros have been using. I believe they're new enough that they're only available for KTM/HUS but will soon be available for Jap bikes.
All I can say is WOW, what a difference. Love the clamp. I've been riding MX for 47 years. Currently I’m an intermediate 57 year old vet and have been nursing a VERY sore shoulder for nearly 6 months but riding every weekend so it doesn’t have time to heal. Pain is bad enough that it’s difficult to sleep or even use the arm during the week.
Rode at Reynard’s the past two weeks and pain is GREATLY reduced. I find it hard to imagine the clamp made this much of a difference but I guarantee it’s not my imagination. I’m able to use my arm and sleep. Still sore but SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. The clamp is the only variable in the equation.
I’m sold on it not just for the pain relief for which I bought it but also for the performance improvement. Front end was more “settled” and controllable. Much better “feel”. My riding was definitely improved. Wish I had one of these about ten years ago.
I highly recommend it. Just amazing.

FYI, I first saw the "new" clamp in a recent issue of MXA:
I purchased mine in September so been running them for a little time.
What psi are you running?

I'm puzzled at what MXA is saying specific to getting an accurate pressure setting as they're wrong....

This thread got me searching for an OEM CRF steering stabilizer haha. I think I may do this setup on my TC250 this spring. Almost every 250 2 stroke I have ever ridden gets a little shaky up front on high speeds.
I have an extra less than 1 hour 24mm OEM CRF steering stabilizer for sale if you are looking. Let me know my man. Like you every 250 2 stroke I have ridden at high speeds feels a lil shaky, this is the perfect fix IMO. It’s not a Scott’s stabilizer or similar but a save your ass when shit hits the fan faster than your ready stabilizer IMO

The ironic thing is the day before that race, I stopped in at Temecula Motorsports, and they had one of the new Mobius wrist braces. Only one. I bought it, and or course put it on my right wrist that day. Who knows - my right wrist might have got hammered too without the brace. On the way home from GH, we stopped at Chaparral, and bought a second Mobius!
The SFS triple clamps are trick as heck for sure and I do like the feel for sure!
Do you actually gets PM’s? Or can I get an email address?
I have to thank Swatdoc for the detailed pictures and factory Husky for posting up Jason Anderson’s bike.
