In a highly anticipated decision, Ken Roczen, one of the most prominent riders in the world of motocross, has confirmed what bike he’ll be racing on January 7, 2024, when the Supercross season kicks off. After months of speculation about his future, the 29-year-old German rider has officially announced that he will be competing aboard a Honda CRF450R at the season opener in Anaheim, California.
Roczen, who has been a fixture in the sport for over a decade, has spent much of the last year working with Honda’s factory team under the HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) banner. However, his future with the team was up in the air after a challenging 2023 season, where he struggled with consistency but showed flashes of his old brilliance. The decision to stick with Honda follows a series of discussions between Roczen and his team, with both parties agreeing that returning to the bike he has had success on in the past gives him the best chance at winning.
Roczen’s announcement is particularly significant as it signals his continued commitment to the 450SX class. Despite being a fan favorite and a championship contender, Roczen’s path in recent years has been marked by injury and team changes. However, after testing, evaluating different bikes, and consulting with family and friends, he has expressed confidence that the Honda CRF450R is the right machine to carry him through the upcoming season.
In a statement, Roczen said, “I’m excited to get back to what I know best. The Honda CRF450R has been a great bike for me in the past, and I believe it’s the right fit for this season. I’m ready to battle for wins and give it my all in Anaheim.”
Fans are eagerly awaiting the season opener to see if Roczen can rediscover his championship-winning form, and the January 7 race is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting Supercross events in years.
