Motorsport is a rather integral part of the Husqvarna brand's 120-year history and a driving factor in the continued development of its class-leading production motorcycles. Fans should expect to witness Husqvarna Motorcycles battling at the front in elite series like the FIM Motocross World Championship and the SuperMotocross World Championship (consisting of both AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross in the United States). Those series are the ultimate testing grounds for the competition machines that influence the brand's extensive range of production models.

The Moto3™ class was redefined from the old 125cc division in 2012, and for more than a decade has been the platform for MotoGP champions of tomorrow to hone their craft. Moto3 consists of tight technical constraints for the 250cc race machinery that hits top speeds of 240kmh and also an age bracket of 18 to 28 that tends to focus on emerging youth and talent.

SuperMotocross season wraps up for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna in Las Vegas

View Profile

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing endured one of its toughest rounds of the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) at tonight's final round in Las Vegas, where both Christian Craig and Malcolm Stewart were struck by misfortune in the 450SMX division. Both qualified inside the top 10 with Stewart seventh and Craig 10th on combined times riding their Husqvarna FC 450 Rockstar Edition machinery, setting up what looked to be a promising night ahead on the hybrid race track located at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
A crash with another rider saw Stewart ease it home to 19th in Moto 1, but he wasn't able to line up for the final race of the season, demoting him to 17th in the final 450SMX standings as a result of the triple points on offer in the Las Vegas SMX Final.
It was a similar story for Craig, finishing 17th in the first race, before having to pull out of Moto 2 and also spelling the end of his season early. That meant he had to settle for 20th in the post-season rankings, also impacted by the points structure at the finale.
"Tonight was a tough way end the season, but we have to focus on all the positives that we have achieved this year," commented Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team Manager, Nathan Ramsey. "It wasn’t our night in Las Vegas, so we will focus on regrouping during the off-season and come out swinging in 2025. I’m happy and honored to be a part of an amazing crew, we are all looking forward to next year, and will strive towards reaching greater heights as a team."
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna also had Landon Gibson on track this weekend in the 250 World All-Stars category, qualifying a solid fifth position and then racing forward to P7 in the Main Event.
