Higlett Hits the BLU CRU

1 year ago | Words: Jenna Post | Photos: Yamaha Motor Australia

After four years with the Beta Motorcycles Australia team, Fraser Higlett has been announced to race the 2025 Australian Enduro Championship with Yamaha’s backing, joining Cooper Sheidow and Jett Yarnold on the BLU CRU Support Off-Road team.

With the ShopYamaha Team focused on the E2 class this season with Wil Ruprecht and Will Dennett, Higlett’s addition to the BLU CRU Support program will see all three riders contest the E1 division on Yamaha 250cc machines.

Still in his mid-twenties, Higlett has raced at the highest levels in Australia, highlighted by representing his country several times at the Six Day International Enduro. The change of bikes and teams to Yamaha has been a bolt of motivation for the Queensland based rider.

Fraser Higlett:
“I have only just had a couple of rides on the bike, and I can’t believe how good it is. It’s so much fun to ride, that I can’t get home fast enough to get some loops in before dark. AJ Roberts has been a huge help in getting this sorted for me and already pointed me in the right direction with the bike and what I need, so excited to represent Yamaha and the BLU CRU team as well as hang out with Cooper and Jett at the rounds.”

The revamped Australian Enduro Championship gets underway on March 1 in Kempsey, NSW.
