Red Bull KTM, Rockstar Husqvarna
Introduce Factory Supercross/MX Teams
I
n what has turned into a yearly
tradition, the Red Bull KTM Fac-
tory Racing Team recently intro-
duced its four-rider squad to the
media at its corporate offices and
race shop in Murrieta, California.
All four of its factory riders were
present, including 2021 Monster
Energy Supercross Champion
Cooper Webb, its newest mem-
ber Aaron Plessinger, long-time
KTM rider Marvin Musquin and
the team's lone 250cc rider Max
Vohland.
KTM also used the opportunity
to unveil the 2022 KTM Factory
Edition models, which will also
be available to the public in lim-
ited numbers. The new Factory
Edition KTM's are closely based
on the bikes that the factory team
will be racing in 2022.
The bikes are new from the
ground up, and all the team
riders had extremely positives
things to say of their new mounts,
which they just recently got to
ride for the first time. All of them
agreed that the chassis and han-
dling were the biggest improve-
ments over their previous race
bikes.
Good friends Webb and Pless-
inger said they are happy to be
teamed up again after first racing
together back in their Yamaha
days; they look forward to the
upcoming season.
Over the weekend, the Rock-
star Energy Husqvarna Team
held a meet-and-greet with the
media at the Baker Factory in
Florida. On hand were 450cc
riders Dean Wilson and Malcolm
Stewart, and 250cc riders RJ
Hampshire, Jalek Swoll and
Stilez Robertson.
Husqvarna also introduced
its all-new FC 250 and FC 450
Rockstar Edition models.
