It’s officially the ‘off-season’ in US Motocross and Supercross racing terms, after an exhilarating year of competition for KTM’s athletes. The few weeks between the final event of 2019 and the start of Anaheim 1 on January 4th, 2020 will surely fly-by as KTM’s Factory and KTM supported teams prepare for their assault on the 17-round Supercross campaign in what is known as one of the most intense dirt bike competitions in the world.

Headlining KTM’s premier factory effort is the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing duo of Cooper Webb and Marvin Musquin, who are both set to contest the 2020 AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross Championships. Webb will be aiming to defend his 450SX Supercross championship crown in the new year and was pleased to reveal the number one on his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION machine to the press at the recent media event where he took to the track to showcase the new Red Bull KTM livery aboard his Factory machine. French-racer Musquin, who recently signed a further two-year agreement with KTM, is currently recovering from an injury but is looking forward to being fully ready for the new season in the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing outfit, which is led by Team Manager, Ian Harrison.
