Inside TLD Race Teams

Professional motocross is arguably the most physically demanding sport in the world and the world’s fastest athletes race aboard KTM factory bikes. Backed by the support of Red Bull and other key sponsors the Troy Lee Designs / KTM team competes in both the SX West & SX East 250 series and also the Lucas Oil outdoor MX 250 series.

TLD/Red Bull/KTM surrounds itself with the best possible partners to ensure it reaches the top step of the podium. However big or small, every partner has a roll to play and the team only exists because of the collective group. They say that "you will only get out what you put in" and that holds true for every team member from rider to graphic sponsor. The rider may be the one who stands on the box, but the sponsors and crew are just as much in the spotlight.

Creating a presence

An average of 50,000 people attend each Supercross race with a large margin of them making their way through the pit scene. Hospitality is a big part of the game at the SX rounds and the TLD/Red Bull/KTM at: tracts spectators from far and wide due to its rider selection and creative look. Sponsorship locations and sizes vary throughout the setup, however they are all front and center for the thousands to see.

It takes a village...

Winning is a lifestyle

Nothing happens by chance and a race team has to be carefully curated to ensure its maximum potential. TLD/Red Bull/KTM riders have been meticulously followed and supported throughtout their amateur careers to help seemlessly transition them to the pro ranks. We care greatly about the individual success of each rider both on and off track. Motocross is just as much mental as it is physical, therefore a healthy home-life and fun attitude is essential in the success at not only the races, but life after as well. Those who prevail physically and mentally are those who proudly wear the TLD/Red Bull/KTM badges into each race.
