Strictly speaking it should have caliper brakes, not canti to be OS race legal.

I don't know if they ever changed that or not?

As per Ratty's quote , Caliper brakes ie 890/901/MX900 & 1000 and Pitbulls . Canti brakes are not OS compliant , it looks like it has Cantis . You could race it in New School class  :daumenhoch: .
