24 Hour Win for Motorcycle Racer

11.10.2010

Think motorcycle racing is an easy sport? Think again. Throttle-twisters and mountain bikers share a love of playing in the dirt, and many of the technologies found on your mountain bike were born from the motorcycle side of life. While motorcycles have... well... motors, there's no denying it takes a lot of physical effort to maneuver those bikes along trails or around a course. For one thing, they're obviously heavier than mountain bikes so moto riders also require a lot of strength to control the bikes.

Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that many motorcycle racers fare well on the mountain bike trails. Case in point... motorcycle racer Kevin Schwantz, who races motorcycles for Suzuki, and his team recently won a 24-hour race atop his Pivot Cycles Mach 429.

Cyclingnews.com reports: "Ben Bostrom isn't the only motorcycle racer making news with pedal power. A day after Bostrom won the Singlespeed World Championship in Rotorua, New Zealand, Kevin Schwantz, the 1993 500cc World Champion, was part of the four-rider Team Cycle Progression/Brand 34 squad that won both their class and the overall victory in the 24 Hours of Rocky Hill, at Rocky Hill Ranch in Smithville, Texas."
