A Flying start for Bike IT DRT Kawasaki at Rnd 12 of the MXGP in France

12/10/2021 | Category: Team News

Everything started off positively in France with Wilson taking the Kawasaki KX250 into 7th position in qualifying, just half a second off pole position. This would be essential for a good start at the French circuit of Lacapelle Marival. In race one a good jump was hampered with a slight collision off the gate with a neighbouring rider, costing a potentially great start, but Todd was able to salvage a top ten round the first corner. The track was fairly difficult to pass on but Todd finished in a respectable 8th position for race one.

A better start in race two saw the Bike It MTX Kawasaki rider in the top 5 and looked to have the potential to push for the top few guys. Unfortunately in a battle with fellow Australian Jed Beaton, the two collided as Todd held his line through a berm and Beaton came into the side of him, taking the bike out of the circuit and into a fence. Wilson was able to rejoin the race but set back to 22nd, he was only able to regain 16th position with the time available, showing good speed and technique.

Things look positive for the next few races, especially with some good starts. The team now head to Spain for the next round of the MXGP World Championship, and Courtney will once again rejoin for a round of the WMX Championship.

Wilson Todd takes on the German hills at Rnd 11 of the MXGP in Teutschenthal

04/10/2021 | Category: Team News

The final stint of Grand Prix's began in Germany, in Teutschenthal. With 8 back-to-back races, it's going to be tough on the riders and will really show who has the endurance to round out the season. New to the circuit, Todd quickly picked up good speed around the german hills.

Using his 13th gate pick, Todd was able to get a top ten start in race one, but the gnarly deep ruts would put an end to the Australians performance, as a deep rut bent the gear lever under the footrest, hampering his ability to change gear. Despite trying to push on, Todd was forced to make a pit stop, but the changeover cost him over a lap so was forced to accept 29th position in race one. Not disheartened by this Todd once again got a great start on his KX250, mixing in with the top ten guys, and as he made a push for 6th a small crash ended up costing him around 5 seconds - unfortunately too much to overcome as he eventually crossed the finish line in 7th place.

The team now heads to France at the circuit of Lacapelle Marival for round 12 of the MXGP World Championship.

Bike DRT Kawasaki lands back in Europe for Rnd 10 of the MXGP

20/09/2021 | Category: Team News

The MXGP and Bike It DRT Kawasaki team are back to Europe after the double-header at Turkey, to the island of Sardinia, for round 10 of the MXGP World Championship.

After a few races with teammate Courtney Duncan (competing in the WMX class) it was down to just Wilson Todd to fly the Bike It flag this weekend. Todd managed to get his third consecutive top 10 finish and claim one position closer to the overall top 10, moving into 11th overall with 176 points. A good start in the first race allowed the Australian to keep in the mix with the front guys, eventually finishing in 7th.

It was a similar display of skill in race two as Todd put his KX250 through its paces in the top 5, but a collision with another rider would hamper any hopes of a career-best finish as he was able to claw back to 15th, after dropping back to 16th. These scores combined would give another 10th position for the number "20".

Bike It DRT arrive in Turkey for Round 7 of the MXGP/ WMX

06/09/2021 | Category: Team News

After a short mid-season break, the DRT squad headed out to Turkish dessert for the 8th round of the MXGP World Championship. Having lost the red plate in the previous round at Lommel, Courtney Duncan was heading in ready to show why the "1" Plate looks better in red. A determined timed practice gave her second gate pick, which she used effectively for a great start in the first race. Having taken the lead halfway round the first lap, Courtney slowly gained a lead over her rivals. Eventually, the pack became tricky with backmarkers and had to fall back into second. Her attempts at a charge to regain the lead were hampered when a small mistake cost her around 14 seconds, but she remained in second and was able to reduce the gap to first down to 6 seconds before the chequered flag. Race two was the perfect example of a two-horse race, with Duncan in second after the first lap and Fontanesi in first. Just a few seconds separated the two as they pulled over 30 seconds away from the others. It was right down to the wire, as an all-effort push on the last lap saw a final corner overtake from Duncan to win by just a third of a second, to take the win and the overall lead.

In the MXGP MX2 class, Todd used the practise sessions to familiarise himself with the track, 1km above sea level. The 12th position in qualifying didn't give the Australian the best starting position, and small wheelspin off the gate in race one exacerbated this, leaving him just outside the top ten at the start of race one. There was little movement as the pack put in similar race times throughout the moto, finishing in 11th. A better start in race two kept him inside the top ten, as he worked his way down and finally passed into 7th on the final lap, adding another top 10 GP finish to his collection.

Tough weekend for DRT's Wilson as he heads out solo in Kegums

01/09/2021 | Category: Team News

It was a solo outing for the young Australian, as Hammal continues to recover and the WMX series takes a small break before the next GP in Turkey. An unfortunate mistake in timed qualifying cost Todd a top 10 gate position, and ended up with P18, a tricky spot on the Latvian circuit, with its 180 degrees first turn. A not so bad start in race one soon followed by disaster, after sharply braking and accidentally stalling Todd had to come back from 10 seconds behind last. Eventually finishing in 19th, Wilson had experienced some bad dizziness during the race but pushed on nonetheless. Moving into race two, a not-so-good start meant the KX250 had its work cut out as Wilson came through the pack, having a good battle with Pole Setter Jed Beaton. He crossed the chequered flag in 12th, regaining some all-important championship points after last weekend.

"18th gate pick wasn't ideal, it's a tight 180 turn here in Latvia. A small mistake in timed qualifying cost him a top 10 gate pick, but that's how it goes sometimes. Race one looked okay as he came round the first corner just outside the top ten, unfortunately on the second corner Wilson locked up the brakes and accidentally stalled, leaving him about 10 seconds from the back. As he caught up his body language looked awful, not knowing if it was him or the bike we spoke after the race and found out that he had an issue causing some dizziness. After a quick check-up with the doctors, going into race 2 was not such the best start so plenty of work to do, he had a good battle with pole setter Jed Beaton and eventually finished in 12th. I was pleased with his resilience in the first race. We now have a short break where we will work on development, working closely with Wilson and Courtney before the doubleheader in Turkey. Every week that goes by Taylor is closer to being on the bike which is good." Remarked Steve Dixon - Team Manager.

“ A really tough first moto at the weekend, I was suffering from a medical issue but didn’t want to pull off since I was still in the points, after coming through from last. I felt better in the second race, but I had a bad gate pick and it's a tough first corner at Kegums, so had to move through the pack to 12th." - Wilson Todd

Crash, Bang, Podium for Courtney at Round 2 of the WMX

03/08/2021 | Category: Team News

Coming into the second round of the WMX World Championship with the red #1 plate, to a notoriously infamous track that the "1" hadn't competed at before, against a host of local sand specialists would be no easy task. The team and Duncan knew it was about maximising points whilst surviving the weekend without the Lommel sand biting back too hard.

Posting a very respectable 8th in timed practice gave Duncan a good place to start from, and entered race 1 around 10th place. She slowly worked her way through several other competitors to bring home 6th in race one. Heading into race two with the confidence and track knowledge of race one, Duncan powered her Kawasaki KX250 down the start straight, grabbing the holeshot. Duncan impressed all with her race lead, but at around the 10-minute mark a loss of traction would see her slip down to third. With the track conditions worsening, and backmarkers making passing harder, Duncan moved back to 4th. Instead of settling for 4th with a 20-second gap to 5th, Duncan, knowing every point is vital, made an aggressive push forwards to take 3rd place, not too far from 2nd. 

The Kiwi only sits 2 points behind the red plate, heading back to favourable hard pack terrain, and one of her favourite tracks in Turkey. 

DRT's Wilson Todd back in action at Round 6 of MXGP

03/08/2021 | Category: Team News

There was little luck to be had for the Australian Wilson Todd's first competitive outing in the deep Lommel sands. Posting a respectable 13th position in timed qualifying, the #20 headed into race one from the back of the pack, he charged through to around 14th at the halfway point. A hose on an additional oil cooling unit, designed for the deep sands of Lommel became damaged after a collision with another rider, unfortunately causing Todd to retire.

It was a much better start in race two, heading around the first corner in the top 6th, but this was to be short-lived as a mistake on corner 3 meant another fight through the pack. The charge through would be met with several more mistakes, only allowing Todd to finish in 23rd. Unable to pick up any points for the first time this year is obviously frustrating for any rider, but the determination is not faltered as we head into the next round at Latvia.

Courtney dominates in round 1 of the WMX in Loket

26/07/2021 | Category: Team News

The opening round of the 2021 FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship took place at the weekend in Loket, Czech Republic which saw Courtney Duncan onboard her 'Bike it MTX Kawasaki' KX250 dominate the field to go 2 for 2, winning both races - The perfect start for the reigning world champion.

Race one, saw Duncan take the holeshot while several riders including, Kiara Fontanesi, Larissa Papenmeier and Nancy Van De Ven, all title contenders, get caught up in a first turn incident. Lap by lap, Duncan edged out further and further ahead, while Van De Ven, Fontanesi and Papenmeier continued their recovery chargeback through the field for valuable championship points. In the end Duncan won the race by an almighty 22.534 seconds over Van Der Vlist (2nd), with Valk (3rd), stamping her authority on the championship.

In race two, it was Papenmeier who got off to a flying start and led, though it was just for a couple of turns as soon Duncan sent it up the inside to take the lead. Fellow contender Van Der Vlist got another good start and battled inside the top three, while Fontanesi and Van De Ven started sixth and seventh.

Duncan started the second race much like the first, in typical dominant fashion, though this time Papenmeier wasn’t letting her get away so easily and stayed close to the defending champion for quite a few laps as she searched for a way around the 2x defending champion Duncan. As the leaders battled. it was Fontanesi (3rd) who was the fastest rider on track though, putting in some fast laps to catch the two leading ladies and then fought with Papenmeier for P2, at which point it was the perfect opportunity for Duncan to push and open up a gap, which she did.

Eventually, Fontanesi went through on Papenmeier for second, though not long after crashed and rejoined in fifth. With three laps to go, more drama, as we saw Duncan got caught up with a backmarker and go down, but was able to pick herself up quickly to still take the race win ahead of Papenmeier and Van De Ven.

With two race wins, Duncan leads the championship, from Van Der Vlist (second) and Papenmeier (third).

Round 2 of the WMX takes place on the 31st of July in Lommel, Belgium (this weekend!) and we can't wait to see Courtney back in action and flying the Bike It Flag!

Top 10 finishes and broken bones at Round 4 of the MXGP season in Holland

20/07/2021 | Category: Team News

The team looked forward to Holland, Taylor and Wilson went out early to Belgium with our Belgian mechanic George, both riders were feeling positive coming into the weekend.

Qualifying went well for Wilson, he qualified 9th, but if he had put his best sectors together would have easily been top 5, so this gave a good indication for the weekend. Tayor qualified in 23rd.

In Race 1, Wilson came through from the start in 4th, although this top 5 position was short-lived, perhaps due to lack of intensity experience over the last month since the surgery. He dropped back to around 7th. Sticking with the front guys for the rest of the race, he managed to finish in 6th. Taylor started in around 18th, and then a small crash, but then came through to 16th. After another small mistake dropping back to 27th, then a small bit of plastic got wedged into the wheel, temporarily causing the brakes to not work properly. He crashed through the spectator barrier, dislocated his wrist, and sustained a broken arm, which realistically has put Taylor out for a good 8 weeks.

Race 2, another good start for Wilson coming through in the top 10. He went to make a pass for 7th but had a small crash, but due to the location came off the circuit and lost a large amount of time trying to get back onto the circuit. He eventually finished in 12th position, which combined from the 6th from the first race would give him 9th overall, just a few points shy of the top 5. Had he not had the small mistake in race two this was a real possibility. We now head to Loket, also for round 1 of the Women's World Championship. Courtney is currently in Belgium practising with George, and will head to Loket this weekend.

A tricky weekend at Rnd 4, Italy, for Bike IT MTX Kawasaki

06/07/2021 | Category: Team News

Round 3 of the MXGP World Championship took place this weekend at the historic Maggiora circuit in Italy.

In qualifying, Wilson Todd managed to post an impressive 11th, while Hammal struggled but managed to secure 28th, stating it as "intense". Moving into the first race, both riders missed out on a good start and had to see what they could achieve from the back of the pack. A stone through the radiator of #20 would cause issues as he lost coolant and power but was still able to salvage a 15th place finish. A small crash set Hammal back, and he would eventually finish in 28th in race one.

In race two, a first corner crash took Todd as the victim and would leave him having to make his way from dead last. On a difficult to pass track, he eventually made it to 18th where he would finish. Unfortunately, an electrical issue, perhaps from a stone, hampered Hammal and he was forced to retire from race 2.

We look forward to more favourable conditions and a track more suited for Wilson and Taylor's skills at Rnd 4 in Holland!

MXGP lands on the doorstep of Bike It for Round 2 of the MXGP championship!

01/07/2021 | Category: Team News

In timed practice, Todd and Hammal picked up 17th and 19th respectively, which would make starts hard as they moved into the first race. With neither rider getting a great start both put the hammer down on their KX250's and charged through the pack, with Todd picking up his first top 10 finish in 10th place, and Hammal shortly behind in 12th position.

In race two a similar performance from Todd saw him pick up an 11th, a consistent finish rewarding him with 8th overall. For Hammal, disaster struck as he encountered goggle issues and had to endure a gruelling fight to eventually pick up 20th, which with his 12th would give him 18th overall.

The Bike It MTX Kawasaki Team now heads straight to Italy for round three at the legendary Maggiora track.

Bike It MTX Kawasaki Team launch into Round 4 at Foxhill

21/06/2021 | Category: Team News

Round four of the ACU British Motocross Championship took place this weekend at the historic 'Foxhill' circuit. The rain stayed away as the day started great for the Bike It MTX Kawasaki Team, with Hammal and Todd posting 3rd and 5th in qualifying respectively.

In race one, it was another awesome holeshot on the green Kawasaki KX250 for Wilson Todd, as he charged ahead of the pack. With Mewse hot on his heels, it was only a matter of time before the championship leader overtook the Australian. Todd was able to keep a solid pace for the remainder of the Race and take home 2nd place. A slightly worse start for Hammal saw him near the front of the pack, but a few crashes dropped him back to mid-pack, where he would then fight his way through back to 6th.

In Race two things started off badly for Hammal, who after going through a rut that had a large stone in, his chain snapped and was stranded trackside for the remainder of the moto. Things were looking good for Todd after a similar incident had affected Mewse, Todd led the race comfortably and with 3 laps to go was looking to bring home the overall - until the same section of track caused a chain derailment for Todd, who had to accept defeat and was unable to finish the race.

The team will now get ready for their local World Championship MXGP round (Rnd 2) at Matterley Basin, Winchester, we cant wait!

MXGP Season kicks off in Russia for Bike It MTX Kawasaki!

14/06/2021 | Category: Team News

The first round of the MXGP World Championship kicked off this weekend at the Orlyonok Circuit, in Russia. Just a week after picking up his podium position at the British Championship in Canada Heights, Todd made the journey East to Russia.

With a compacted race schedule, all the racing took place in one day, with qualifying results being taken from timed practice, in which Todd came 13th.

A collision from another rider would see the Australian fall in race one, making things more difficult as he fought to come through the pack and would eventually finish in 16th. Since having his arm pump surgery, things have definitely improved for Todd but has come at a cost of fitness while he recovered. The season is long and has only just begun, so improvements will be made over the year, but speed and technique remain strong. A 14th in race two would see the number 20 finish in fourteenth position, taking away 12 points from Round 1.

The next round of the MXGP World Championship will be the teams home Grand Prix on the 27th June at Matterley Basin - Its going to be epic!

Bike It flies aims high at Canada Heights!

07/06/2021 | Category: Team News

Round three of the REVO ACU British Motocross Championship took place deep in the woods of Swanley, Kent at the Canada Heights Circuit. With both riders in the paddock with Wilson returning from arm pump surgery, hopes were high for a day of unmissable racing. This was almost the case with a strong 3-4 qualifying posted from Todd and Hammal respectively, but a last lap mistake from Hammal would see him sustain a bad finger injury, and unfortunately retire from the day of racing.

With all eyes now on the #20, Todd did his best to let everyone know by grabbing the holeshot on his Kawasaki KX250 in race one. He then displayed a great race of speed and technique, but a few mistakes towards the end of the race eventually cost him the race win and took home 2nd.

A tougher start in race two meant putting in some speedy laps on the difficult-to-pass track. The Bike It MTX Kawasaki machine moved from the bottom of the top 10 into 2nd, but Todd would eventually finish in 3rd position. Combined with the 2nd from the first race, Todd was able to secure second overall at Canada Heights meeting.

The next round of the REVO ACU British Motocross Championship will be on the 19th June at Foxhill.

2nd in championship for Taylor Hammal!

24/05/2021 | Category: Team News

Round two of the REVO ACU British Motocross Championship kicked off at the weekend, at Cadders Hill, outside Norwich. All eyes were on Taylor Hammal on the green KX250 this weekend, as teammate Wilson Todd sat out this race, recovering from arm pump surgery. The day started off strong, with a 3rd position in qualifying after putting in some fast laps.

Race one would see a top 6 start from the young #575, and he was able to make his way through to third by half race distance. Hammal wasn't quite able to catch 2nd place but finished a comfortable 10 seconds ahead of 4th.

Race two would see a better start and great racecraft from Hammal, but a few mistakes on a tricky to pass track with changing weather conditions would see a few falls, missing out on a better finish in the second race. However, consistency over the day would reward him with a 2nd overall, as his first ACU British Motocross Championship podium. Taylor Hammal has now also moved up into 2nd overall in the points championship.

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
