There are rivalries in this sport that define eras. Rivalries that split fanbases, fill grandstands, and get whispered about long after they have finished their respective careers. Names like Reed and Stewart. Alessi and Villopoto. Chicken and Bradshaw.

Today, a new era has been ushered in. Fueled not by championships. Not by trophies. But by two friends destined to collide in a battle that could only end one way. With someone screaming—loudly— “I AM BETTER THAN YOU.”

Yes, we’re talking about PulpMX vs Darkside. A rivalry forged not on the track, but in pride. A battle that will stand the test of time, or at least the comment section.

Rider Comparison: PulpMX vs Darkside

While Steve currently has bested Dark in 2025, Dark holds a MASSIVE advantage in the all-time rankings with more than 2,000 career points. He also has these things called wins and podiums.

Advantage: Dark

Just read the stats, all in favor of Dark.

Advantage: Dark.

This is where Steve has a major advantage and will scream from the rooftop about it: head-to-head. He has beaten Dark TWICE in the races we have current access to.

Conclusion: While Steve may have the head-to-head advantage over Dark, he’s losing the war, so far. Dark has raced more, has more podiums and in terms of All-Time National Rankings is way, way ahead of Steve. But the 2025 rank matters, too… and at least Steve is victorious in that battle.
