Shortly after, KTM stunned MX fans everywhere announcing the late arrival of a new motorcycle to its 2012 model-line up: The 450 SX-F Factory Edition. This model was developed with the racer in mind with product developers receiving feedback from the Red Bull/KTM Factory riders and U.S.-based Research & Development team ensuring this would be the most superior MX bike to date. Together, Dungey and his new race machine made the perfect match to help the Red Bull/KTM Team proceed to the next step in its racing goal: winning races and ultimately a U.S Championship. After only two weeks on the bike, Dungey competed aboard his new factory machine at the Monster Energy Cup taking home the runner-up position in the premier class. Only two months after, Dungey was positioned on the starting gate for the opening round of the AMA Supercross Series ready to show audiences everywhere what he and his KTM were capable of. In their first outing he earned the first-ever Supercross class podium for the KTM brand in U.S. Supercross racing history. More impressively, he topped that history making night one week later after leading the Phoenix Supercross event holeshot to checkered flag earning his and KTM s first-ever Supercross class victory!
