The Husqvarna Racing teams are looking to make waves in 2023 across the 3 disciplines of racing.

Barend Du Toit joins the team to compete in the volatile MX125 class onboard the brand-new TC125. Joining him on the Motocross front is Davin Cocker who will once again compete in the MX2 class and looks to add to his podium finish from 2022 before he sustained a season-ending injury. Last but certainly not least is Josh Mlimi who will take on the MX1 class onboard his FC450.

The Cross Country team also sees Ryan Pelser joining the stables who will take part in the OR3 class, after finishing in the runner-up spot last year. Ryan looks to improve his position and compete for Championship Honours. Team veteran, Davin Cocker has moved up to the OR2 class to put him into a position to fight for overall wins as well as class glory.

Travis Teasdale, a well-known name in racing, has joined the Husqvarna Enduro team onboard his TE300 and will take up the challenge in the E2 National Enduro and Extreme Enduro championship. Joining him on the Enduro scene is young gun Heinrich Aust. The likable youngster has returned from injury and is hungry to get back to his winning ways of the past and prove himself in the ever-competitive Enduro championship. 

Team manager, Grant Frerichs, was struggling to keep his smile back when commenting on the team for the year's challenge ahead. “We have made some vital changes in the team for this year and the excitement from the new athletes have added to the enthusiasm of the other riders. We are going racing with championship competitors across the board and I look forward to lots of success in 2023 with the Husqvarna racing squad.”
