Like a popular sandwich
shop, Evan Smith’s 250F
is freaky fast! For sure, the
Georgia rider’s Husqvarna/
Max Motorsports/FXR
Racing-backed FC250 is one
of the fastest 250F’s on the
east coast. Evan finished
fifth overall against 350s and
450s and easily won the Pro2
class at the recent Kenda Full
Gas Sprint Enduro in South
Carolina, while posting the
second-fastest time in a
couple of the tests (second
to Kailub Russell on a 350).
We spoke to Evan and his
engine builder John Ross
at the South Carolina race
about some of the
modifications that make the
bike so fast.
