International recruit Dylan Walsh will join the KTM Racing Team for the 2025 AUSX Supercross Championship, lining up in the SX1 class alongside Nathan Crawford as part of the factory squad.
Walsh, an AMA Supercross regular originally from the United Kingdom but raised in New Zealand, will line up in the SX1 class aboard KTM 450 SX-F machinery, bringing valuable international firepower to the team’s 2025 campaign.
He will partner with Crawford, the former SX2 series runner-up who enjoyed a breakout ProMX season that went down to the final moto in MX1, and now transitions into AUSX carrying strong momentum.
In SX2, KTM’s charge will be led by ProMX front-runners Noah Ferguson and Byron Dennis. Ferguson opened last year’s AUSX season with a race win and recently wrapped up a podium finish in motocross. At the same time, Dennis continues his development after a top-five MX2 result in ProMX earlier this season.
The KTM Racing Team’s investment in youth also extends to Jackson Fuller, who will compete in SX3 as he targets championship success in the development category.
KTM Group Australia Motorsport Manager Kyle Blunden said: “We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead for the KTM Racing Team in 2025. Bringing Dylan Walsh into our SX1 program alongside Nathan Crawford enhances our world-class presence and the opportunity to showcase KTM at the very highest level of supercross in Australia. Our younger riders – Noah, Byron, and Jackson – are all stepping up with confidence and determination, and we believe they’ll surprise a lot of people this season. At the same time, KTM Australia’s new role as a major partner of the AUSX series underlines our commitment to the sport here at home. We’re thrilled to back not only the series but also the next generation of supercross racers with the KTM SX85 Futures. Supercross in Australia is on an exciting trajectory, and with our riders, our partners, and our fans, we’re Ready To Race.”
The five-round championship begins with a Redcliffe double-header at Kayo Stadium on October 11-12, continues at Cronulla’s Sharks Stadium on October 25, and then moves to Marvel Stadium for the AUSX Open on November 22, before wrapping up in Adelaide alongside the Supercars Grand Final on November 30.
