Podiums a plenty for the 'Bike IT MXT Kawasaki' at Round 1 of the British Motocross Championship!

03/05/2021 | Category: Team News

Round one of the REVO ACU British Motocross Championship kicked off yesterday just outside of Oxford, at the Culham motocross track. After recently travelling back from his home country in Australia, Wilson Todd joined his teammate Taylor Hammal for their first venture into the British MX2 Championship. With the World Championship starting in around 8 weeks, this was the perfect opportunity for time on the bike in a race scenario, which is obviously different from the hours of practice put in.

The weekend started off well, with Todd and Hammal posting 3rd and 5th in free practice respectively, putting them in a great starting position for the races. Race one saw Wilson finish in 3rd after struggling with some arm pump towards the end. Hammal, after battling throughout the race finished just behind in 4th.

After a few setup tweaks for race 2, Wilson was able to get the holeshot and lead the race, securing a 3rd and 1st for 2nd overall from the weekend. Hammal narrowly missed the podium by 1 point after securing a 4th and 3rd.

At the end of Round 1 of REVO ACU British Motocross Championship which see Wilson Todd 2nd overall, following his Race 1 - 3rd and Race 2 - WIN. Taylor Hammal just behind in 4th, following his Race 1 - 4th and Race 2 - 3rd.

Wilson Todd
"The weekend went well for me, being inside the top 3 all day was good. I wasn't quite the fastest guy all day, but it was very productive to get out and try the setup. Getting back out there behind some gate drops and getting the feel for racing again is really helpful too!"

Taylor Hammal
"It was a pretty good start to the championship which, to be honest, I didn’t expect. Overall was a good solid day with two good races. The first race had to battle all race but was a close finish at the end and second race pulled up to 3rd. A 4th and a 3rd is a positive start which I’m pleased about. Bit gutted I missed the podium but was happy with my riding. We got a lot more to give to will keep on building. Big thanks to the team all round for getting everything done for the first round and to all those who help me out"

The next round of the REVO ACU British Motocross Championship will be on the 23rd May at Lyng, Norfolk.

JARVIS WINS HIXPANIA HARD ENDURO - SHOT RACE GEAR

25/06/2019 | Category: Team News

Claiming his second win in the 2019 World Enduro Super Series, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Graham Jarvis has topped the Hixpania Hard Enduro in Spain. Battling his way to a well-deserved overall victory in the three-day event, Jarvis also moves to the top of the championship standings heading in to the second half of the season. Giving Jarvis a fight for the top-spot throughout the event, Alfredo Gomez won the opening two days to finally place as the overall runner-up. Completing a strong team performance, Billy Bolt enjoyed a positive performance to claim fourth.

Graham Jarvis: “What an event. It’s crazy to think I’m leading the WESS championship now. It was a tough race today and I was still tired from yesterday. It was fast but there were still some technical bits. I think everyone was really feeling it, I know I was on the limit today. I never had plans to win the WESS series this year – I just wanted to concentrate on the hard enduros. I guess this changes things. I’m not going to get too excited just yet though, my plan is to take each race as it comes. Romaniacs is going to be the game changer – hopefully I can at least finish it this year and then we’ll see how things are looking.”

NEW ZEALANDER COURTNEY DUNCAN JOINS BIKE IT DRT KAWASAKI

19/03/2019 | Category: Team News

Bike It DRT Kawasaki is proud to announce that talented New Zealander Courtney Duncan joins the team this season to compete in the high-profile five-round series of the Women’s Motocross World Championship.

The fast twenty-three-year-old young lady has been a major protagonist in the series since her debut three years ago, claiming an amazing seven GP victories and fourteen heat wins from just fifteen starts within that short space of time. Twice she was denied the world title through injury and lost the title by just two points on the other occasion. More determined than ever to finally achieve her goal Courtney has made the conscious decision to join the highly-experienced British Kawasaki squad run by Steve Dixon to race a KX250 alongside male teammates Darian Sanayei from the USA and Brazilian Gustavo Pessoa in a truly international squad. Apart from the GPs Courtney, currently in Europe to prepare for the GP season, will also race in her native country with the support of Kawasaki New Zealand.

Courtney Duncan:“I’m stoked to announce my signing with the Bike It DRT Kawasaki race team. They've given me an awesome opportunity and I'm very motivated to put them on top in 2019. A fresh start is what I needed and I couldn't be more excited than to do that with Kawasaki. Kawasaki New Zealand have also come on board to support me at home, for which I am also very thankful.”

NEW BANANAZ MOTORPLUGS RIDING EARPLUGS

18/03/2019 | Category: Product News

MotorPlugs are premium earplugs dedicated for use by motorcyclists to prevent hearing damage whilst riding.

Noise-induced hearing loss occurs when you’re exposed to sound that is louder than your ears can handle. Noise above 80 dB can be harmful, whilst riding your motorcycle this volume from engine noise and wind is commonly greater than 100 dB, putting you at immediate risk of permanent hearing damage. MotorPlugs reduce noise by an average 26 decibels across all frequencies, lowering the noise level and reducing risk of damage to your hearing.

MotorPlugs utilise a specialised Wind Filter which attenuate harmful noises from wind-flow whilst allowing ambient sounds to filter through. This prevents that ‘cut-off’ or ‘isolated’ feeling commonly experienced with other earplugs on the market, allowing you to still hear ambient traffic noise as well as in-helmet devices such intercoms, SatNav and music players.

MotorPlugs are easy to fit and remove, comfortable and discrete. They do not protrude outside of the ear canal making them comfortable to wear inside your crash helmet.

Each MotorPlugs pack contains 1 pair of earplugs and 1 aluminium storage keyfob (with bottle opener feature).

Enjoy your ride, protect your hearing.

Key Features

• 1 pair of earplugs with special wind filter (26dB)

• Comfortable fit with helmet

• Safe attenuation of sound (EN 352-2 certification)

• Prevents isolation

• Conversations remain clear

• Music inside helmet stays clearly audible

• No sound distortion

• Comfortable, discreet, and reusable

• Average noise reduction of 26dB

• Aluminium storage keyfob
