MX1 Australia Suzuki's Trent Lean has wrapped up his fifth
Australian Off-Road Championship at the final round of the 2015
Championship held in Dungog last weekend.
Lean who is a member of the local club that hosted the final
round, picked up the Masters Class round wins on both Saturday and
Sunday to seal this year's title aboard his Suzuki RMX450Z.
"It feels great to win my 5th AORC title and my 6th Australian
title overall including my A4DE win back in 2013," Lean
enthused.
"It was great to wrap up the title at my home round at Dungog
aboard the Suzuki RMX450Z. I wrapped up my first title at my home
round five years ago and it felt good to do it again on the
weekend.
"The bike has been great all year and I did not expect any
different. We have been working hard all season with our teams E2
rider Luca Bussa, developing the RMX450Z for racing and the bike
has been faultless all year.
"It has certainly been a busy year managing the team, learning
the bike and racing myself and winning the title certainly makes it
all worthwhile." Lean added.
With the 2015 Australian Off-Road Championship now complete,
Lean will turn his attention to getting his and Bussa's RMX450Z's
ready for the upcoming Australian Four Day Enduro being held in
Tasmania from October 19th through to the 24th.
"The season is not over just yet and we will start preparing our
bikes for the 2015 four day in Tassy." Lean continued.
"With the bikes needing to be in road legal trim for the four
day event, it is just a matter of re-installing the standard wiring
overlay harness which is part of what makes the RMX ADR compliant
which is simple enough and then add the front head light and a few
little bits an pieces.
"Having a bike that is ADR compliant from new certainly makes
the process of getting the bike ready for the four day easier.
"We can't wait to get over to Tasmania and race this year's big
event."
Suzuki Australia's National Marketing Manager, Lewis Croft was
delighted to see the new ADR spec RMX450Z take a national title on
debut.
"Everyone here at Suzuki Australia are very happy to see the new
ADR spec RMX450Z winning on debut and we congratulate Trent and the
MX1 Australia team for delivering Suzuki another Championship."
Croft commented.
"The RMX is Suzuki's flagship registrable off-road motorcycle
and racing the motorcycle at the hands of the capable MX1 Australia
team is a key element of our branding and awareness of the
bike.
"We are looking forward to another strong showing from the
team at this year's A4DE and also next seasons AORC title defense"
Croft concluded.
