KTM RACING ANNOUNCE AUSX LINE-UP

KTM Australia has released their rider line-up that will form the KTM Racing Team when the gates drop for the 2025 AUSX Supercross Championship in October. Nathan Crawford will be joined by international rider Dylan Walsh in SX1, while Noah Ferguson and Byron Dennis will contest the SX2 division. Additional to their racing team, KTM also continue to be a major sponsor of the entire series and support the newly-introduced KTM SX85 Futures category.

Former SX2 runner-up Crawford will lead the KTM charge on the KTM 450SX-F, with the Queenslander carrying the momentum of a breakout ProMX season which saw him take the MX1 title down to the final moto. Crawford will be joined by AMA Supercross regular Walsh aboard the KTM 450SX-F for this year’s AUSX season, with the British rider adding firepower to the orange team for 2025.

Ferguson and Dennis will pilot the team’s two official KTM 250SX-F entries throughout the five-round series. Ferguson showed race-winning potential last year after capturing the opening round victory, alongside a strong P3 finish to his motocross campaign already in 2025. For Dennis, the highly-rated teenager will embark on his second professional AUSX Supercross season, with the ambition to continue to develop his skillset off the back of a top-five performance in this year’s ProMX MX2 standings.

KTM Racing Team-supported Jackson Fuller will eye championship success in the SX3 class, as Fuller contests the development category on the KTM 250SX-F.

The KTM Australia-backed five-round championship will begin with a double-header in Redcliffe, Queensland, at Kayo Stadium for Rounds 1 and 2 (October 11-12), before Round 3 takes place at Cronulla’s Sharks Stadium (October 25) in New South Wales.

Round 4 will coincide with the blockbuster AUSX Open inside Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium (November 22), before concluding alongside the Supercars Grand Final in Adelaide on November 30. KTM’s partnership – together with the introduction of the KTM SX85 Futures Class – highlights a continual commitment to fostering both series growth and the sport of supercross in Australia.

Kyle Blunden, KTM Group Australia Motorsport Manager: 
“We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead for the KTM Racing Team in 2025. Bringing Dylan Walsh into our SX1 program alongside Nathan Crawford enhances our world-class presence and the opportunity to showcase KTM at the very highest level of supercross in Australia. Our younger riders – Noah, Byron, and Jackson – are all stepping up with confidence and determination, and we believe they’ll surprise a lot of people this season. At the same time, KTM Australia’s new role as a major partner of the AUSX series underlines our commitment to the sport here at home. We’re thrilled to back not only the series but also the next generation of supercross racers with the KTM SX85 Futures. Supercross in Australia is on an exciting trajectory, and with our riders, our partners, and our fans, we’re Ready To Race.”
