Due to major structural changes in the company by additional considerable engineering projects, Suter faces temporary qualified personnel shortage. 

Eskil Suter, Chairman of Suter Industries, regrets this year’s abstinence from the Isle of Man Senior TT: 

“Especially as we have improved the MMX 500 after last year’s debut in terms of rideability in a great way, and knowing that the fan base supporting us is huge, it was a hard decision to take.” 

However, for 2018 Suter is planning to return to the beautiful Isle of Man hoping that last year rider Ian Lougher who was important for the development of the MMX 500 will be available again to ride the beast around the Snaefall Mountain Course.
