Suter MMX2

[1] The Suter MMX2 has a 600cc four-stroke inline-four engine, built and serviced by ExternPro and equipped with a Honda Racing Corporation wiring loom and ECU.

[5] Belgian rider Xavier Simeon finished 2nd in 2014 Argentinian GP with Sutter MMx2 (Federal oil Gresini Team).

His season then went further downhill when he was penalized for crashing into fellow rider Ratthapark Wilairot during qualifying in Phillip Island, where he subsequently finished 3rd.

Another notable rider is Johann Zarco, who rode the MMX2 in 2014 where he joined the then-new Caterham team and used a revised Suter frame.

This was due to Eskil Suter helping to change his mind,[16] where Sofuoğlu also stated that "I believe this team has the potential to win the title.

[18] During that season, he was also involved in an incident during the Catalan Grand Prix, where he collided with fellow Moto2 rider Julian Simon (who was left with a broken tibia and fibula).

[19] Following a disappointing season where he finished 17th overall with 59 points, he returned to World SuperSport championship racing in 2012 with Kawasaki and eventually won the title.

Despite subsequent success in 2014 with solid performances by Johann Zarco, Xavier Simeon and Dominique Aegerter,[21] only two MMX2s appeared on the grid in the starting race of the 2015 season in Qatar.

Suter stated that they had spent much time analyzing and working with their partners JPMoto Racing Malaysia and IodaRacing[22] to refine and improve the MMX2, supposedly enabling them to compete for the manufacturer's and rider's titles in seasons to come.

The rear suspension linkage had also been upgraded, and Suter also changed the range of adjustments that altered the bike's geometry and road stance.

[citation needed] They also stated that they did not see a good reason to continue supplying parts for Moto2, as they did not have enough customers or upcoming riders to help develop the bike.

Suter then stated that there were no teams to show the huge potential of their fully-developed machine; with their last victory coming in 2014 with Thomas Lüthi, it is evident why they had decided to move away from Moto2.

However, they stated that their racing division was still fully committed to engineering mandates for bigger motorcycle manufacturers in the Moto3 and MotoGP class.
