Beta Motorcycles Australia has unveiled its official Enduro Team for the 2025 season, following a highly successful 2024 campaign.
With a strong rider lineup and championship-winning pedigree, the team is poised for another big year in the Australian Enduro Championship (AEC) and other major off-road events.
Jye Dickson is back to defend his AORC E3 Championship title, once again competing aboard the Beta RR 480 RACE. The Newcastle-based rider fought through a broken hand and multiple injuries last season but still delivered a dominant performance in his debut year with Beta.
“I’m looking forward to riding for the Beta Australia Enduro Team again in 2025. Winning my and Beta’s first national class championship last year was a huge achievement, and I’ll be lining up in the E3 class again, aiming to back up that result,” Dickson said.
Andy Wilksch will also return to the team, stepping up to the Beta RR 430 RACE in the highly competitive E2 class. Despite undergoing knee surgery before the 2024 season, Wilksch secured multiple podium finishes and ended the year 4th in E2. With a full off-season of preparation, he has his sights set on even bigger results in 2025.
“I’m excited to sign with the Beta Australia Enduro Team for a second season!” Wilksch enthused. “I really gelled with the brand and bike from the start, and last year was a great way to rebound from a knee reconstruction. For 2025, we’ve stepped up to the RR 430 RACE, put on some muscle, and had a solid off-season of training—so I’m excited to see what we can achieve.”
Ebony Nielsen will continue her journey with Beta, transitioning from the RR 300 Racing 2T to the RR 350 RACE 4T as she aims to improve on her 3rd place finish in the EW class. The Kingaroy-based rider has already proven herself as a top competitor and is eager to push for even stronger performances this season.
“2024 was my first year with Beta, and I competed in both enduro and hard enduro with great success. I finished 3rd in the AORC, 1st in the QORC, and 1st female/16th overall in the AHEC Silver Category,” Nielsen reflected. “In 2025, I’ll be racing in the Australian and Queensland Enduro Championships, the new Queensland Hard Enduro Championship, and I also plan to compete in the 22nd edition of Red Bull Romaniacs in July.”
Beta has also confirmed that Ruben Chadwick will remain with the team for 2025. Chadwick, a hard enduro specialist, will take on a mix of local and international events, with more details on his season to be announced soon.
Ash Martin, Beta Australia Race Team Manager: said, “The 2024 season was our best year yet, with Jye Dickson delivering our first national class championship win, Andy Wilksch finishing 4th in the E2 class, and Ebony Nielsen taking 3rd in EW. We’re thrilled to return to the Australian Enduro Championship in 2025, with plans to expand even further. Thank you to our riders for their dedication and to our sponsors for their continued support.”
