2-Stroke Festival fever - substantial rider support package revealed

By Team TMX on 15th Jul 22

Motocross Two-Stroke Apico Two-stroke Festival

The Apico 2-Stroke Festival, featuring the Red Bull Pro Stroke National, has confirmed a substantial rider support package that will reward competitors across all categories.

Sellindge in Kent will host the increasingly-popular stand-alone rider event over the weekend of August 20-21.

Leatt will support the Apico Youth groups, and the rider safety brand is making available a sizeable product prize fund of 5,000, shared between two riders from the 85cc and 125cc classes.

The lucky recipients of this considerable reward will not necessarily be the ones who win on the track but advancing young guns, which the judges believe best represent UK youth motocross.

To encourage riders to get organised and booked in early, title partner Apico is awarding spot prizes to anyone entering before August 12, with the prizes delivered before August 20.

This pot of incredible swag will have a retail value of almost 2,000 and include the highly regarded Arai MXV worth 549.99. In addition, there are some sweet Forma Predator or Pilot Boots, subject to fitment and sizes. But the goodies don't stop there, with Apico hard parts like the bling pack, holeshot device, brake pedal, gear pedal, footpegs, flexi levers and the like.

Other brands supporting the annual off-road bike fest with rider packages include Emeks. They will provide three full kits and gloves or, if preferred, opt for a day videoing the selected riders and providing two one-minute reels for their social media.

Ryno Power will spotlight a specific class and give podium goodie bags in addition to offering a Ryno Power sponsorship programme for the year to the winner of one class to be determined closer to the event.

TRAK will have a display stand showing the Red Bull SPECT goggles and will support a rider with this product while also offering a knee and wrist brace fitting service for Mobius.

Moto Verde has pledged to offer a rider support package with its salt-free cleaners for bikes and other vehicles.

And, if that's not enough, Zeroninemx will be supplying the event trophies and attendance plaques.

Commenting on the massively-increased brand support for this year's Apico 2-Stroke Festival, event promoter Dave Willet said: "We're blown away by the amount of support already confirmed for this year's Festival, and there's more to come. Also, the Red Bull Pro Stroke National already has an exciting commitment from top-class riders, and the prize fund will be pretty special watch this space.

"While the winners will always be rewarded, we want to be about more than that, which is why we, and our partners, feel it's important to award spot prizes across the full breadth of classes. Although it's my passion, we view the event to be more than 2-stroke-only. We have loads of incentives which we want to help us evolve, give back to the riders and draw in outside interest."

The event has already attracted a strong entry throughout the groups: British 125 2-stroke (adult license), British Open 2-stroke (adult license), British Evo 2-stroke (up to 1989), British Super Evo 2-stroke (1990/2000), Red Bull Noughties & Over 40s Open 2-stroke (scored separately and Noughties 25+ machine year 2000/2008), Youth 125 + 250f (youth license), 85 BW/SW, Red Bull Pro Stroke Clubman (MX1 & MX2 ) open machine.

In particular, the Red Bull Noughties, Over 40s, and Youth sectors are almost full.
