When you're competing at the highest level of AMA Pro Motocross and Monster Energy Supercross, every detail matters. Performance is non-negotiable, but so is presentation. A championship-caliber bike has to perform flawlessly and look the part.
This eye-catching #19 KTM 125 SX, photographed in the team pit, competed in the 125 All-Star races during the AMA Outdoor Motocross Nationals. Campaigned by Team Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, the bike was ridden by Chris Johnson and supported by mechanic Austin Kent, crew chief JR Boyd, and team manager Michael Byrne.
Building a race machine like this takes countless hours of preparation, precision, and craftsmanship. From the engine components to the chassis finish, every detail contributes to performance, durability, and appearance. That's why the team relies on OpenThrottle Powder Coatings to deliver a finish that looks as good as the bike performs.
Designed for the demands of professional racing, OpenThrottle Powder Coatings provide exceptional durability, scratch resistance, and long-lasting color retention. Whether battling through mud, roost, and repeated race-day abuse or sitting on display in the paddock, these coatings help keep the bike looking race-ready all season long.
For the past four years, San Diego Powder & Protective Coatings has partnered with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-KTM-WPS and Troy Lee Designs Red Bull KTM, applying OpenThrottle Powder Coatings to components that require both outstanding protection and professional-grade appearance.
“We’re proud of our collaboration with this hard working team and want to make sure their bikes are coated with the best,” says Phil Johnson of San Diego Powder & Protective Coatings. "My team loves working with this powder because they're easy to apply, deliver a quality finish, and stand up to the demanding conditions these racers face."
As the team looks ahead to another competitive season, they do so with the confidence that comes from having every detail dialed in, from race-day performance to the durable, championship-worthy finish provided by OpenThrottle Powder Coatings.
