Winning multiple British championships using Talon products, Tommy trusts a well-established British brand, knowing only the best will do to compete at the top levels of the sport. Bit of a change for Tom this year as he gets back on a 250F after years of riding the big 450 in the MX1 class. He will be in pursuit of yet another title at this years Dirt-Store British championships riding for the official Kawasaki UK motocross team (Dirt store Kawasaki).

Talon, Dirtworx KTM Rider Mason Staddon.
Mason is one of Talons young guns, and already making big impressions in the world of motocross. The junior 65cc rider finished an impressive second overall at this year’s UK Arenacross series and looks to carry that speed and form into the new season. He will be competing at this years BSMA & Bridgestone nationals, and the Weston beach race with some smaller club events in between to keep bike fit. Look out for Mason at the races this year and go say hello to him or his dad/mechanic, Ashley.

The enduro super house from the Isle of man, has been running Talon products in his race bikes for years, and would not trust anyone else, knowing that only the best will do when competing for world titles.
John Adamson will be riding with the Lexa MX Racing team on a Husqvarna this year.
The former ACU British MX2 Runner up will be focusing on the ADAC MX masters and a chance we will see him contest selected races in the UK also some MXGP rounds. Having won the Mx nationals, the Scottish championship, and British masters, John is certainly someone we are proud to support and look forward to seeing him in action this year.

Riding for the official Dirt store Kawasaki team. The former MXY2 champion will be riding the MX2 class this year, competing in the Dirt Store British Championship and the Fastest 40 series, with a few GP’s and EMX rounds thrown in for good measure.
