Las Vegas, NV (November 17th, 2012) – Rekluse supported rider Maria Forsberg earns the 2012 EnduroCross Championship Title in the Women’s Class. Forsberg rides for the Factory FMF/KTM Offroad Team and has been on fire, securing her third title in 2012; EnduroCross Champ, GNCC Champ, X Games Gold Medalist. Forsberg rides a KTM 250 XCF-W fitted with the Rekluse Core EXP Auto-Clutch to tame the challenging obstacles that make up the Geico/AMA Endurocross Championship Series.
In the Men’s Expert Class Cody Webb, riding for Factory Beta Racing, gave reigning champ Taddy Blazusiak a run for his money with a 2nd overall finish. When asked about his usage of the Rekluse Core EXP Auto-Clutch for the first time during the Boise, Idaho, round Webb stated, “I can’t believe I haven’t raced with this (Core EXP Auto-Clutch) before….I got the holeshot. I have never got a holeshot in a main before tonight.” Webb’s higher confidence going into the final round in Las Vegas allowed him to secure his 2nd place overall Championship finish.
Webb’s teammate, Max Gerston, of Factory Beta Racing earned the
MAVtv Junior Class Championship on his Beta 350 (also equipped with the Rekluse Core EXP Auto-Clutch).
Rekluse riders made up 4 of the top 5 overall finishers in the Women’s Class and 3 of the top 5 riders of the Men’s Expert Class.
