Maxxis is celebrating success following a stunning debut senior victory for Brad Freeman in the Maxxis FIM EnduroGP World Championship. The British rider riding on Maxxis Maxxcross SI and Maxxcross IT tyres went into the race with a healthy 28 point lead and took advantage of his strong position in Ruedersdorf. Freeman increased his advantage over his rivals to reach the top of the podium, as well as achieve an incredible runner-up position in the overall EnduroGP standings.

Moving into the Enduro 1 class for 2018 and after topping the Enduro Junior championship in 2017, Brad Freeman needed little time to find his feet and start winning. Two third place results at the series opener in Finland were followed by a double runner-up result at round two in Spain. Round three saw the young Brit take his first senior class win, starting a run of victories that ultimately took him to the Enduro 1 World Championship title and an incredible runner-up position in the overall EnduroGP standings at the season finale in Germany.

Freeman’s E1 World Championship victory was his first senior racing title, following on from a string of promising junior performances. The Maxxis supported rider was previously crowned Junior World Champion at the Maxxis FIM Enduro World Championship in 2017, his first year competing in the championship, and has gone from strength-to-strength since this achievement.

Speaking about Freeman’s accomplishment in Germany, Derek McMartin, managing director of Maxxis commented: “Seeing Brad achieve his very first senior World Championship was an incredibly proud moment for everyone associated with Maxxis. His victory further highlights the world class calibre of the products we provide at Maxxis, with everyone being able to get their hands on racing-standard parts and accessories. We are looking forward to seeing Brad continue to be successful with the power and support of the Maxxis firmly behind him.”
