The buildup to the Monster Energy Supercross Championship continues! The latest bulletin by the AMA outlines the motorcycles that have been homologated and approved for competition in 2022, a 32-bike index that includes standard-issue equipment, recently-released special editions, and a selection of two-stroke machines. Seven OEMs are represented, including Japan’s “Big Four” of Honda-Yamaha-Kawasaki-Suzuki and the KTM Group’s European alliance of KTM-Husqvarna-GASGAS. Although a handful of manufacturers have expressed interest in joining the list, most notably Beta, the final list did not include any new OEMs.

AMA regulations require the OEMs or their distributors to declare the motorcycles they intend to race ahead of each season (section 1.1 in the 2022 rule book). The mandate states that at least 400 units must be available for sale to the public, with a minimum of 200 bikes required to be in the US by March 1 and at least 400 units by June 1. Approval is only for a limited eligibility period, either five years or when the brand decides to pull its support of a particular model, and can be subject to change as the season continues. The displacement rules make it possible for a rider to use a four-stroke 250cc bike in the 450 Class, but a 250cc two-stroke is not allowed to race in the 250 Class.
