“This is a big year for me stepping up to the MX1 class” Dyce explained. “I am excited to be working with Suzuki and the SB Motorsports team to have the opportunity to show everyone what I can do on the RM-Z450 against the best riders in the country.”

The new partnership with Suzuki and its genuine oil Ecstar is an exiting new platform for team manager Scott Brewster, which will see the outfit navigate its support through local dealerships Byrners Suzuki and Vern Graham Suzuki.

“It’s a great fit for us to be partnering with Suzuki for 2019,” Brewster commented. “We were searching for a partner to represent and grow a relationship with long-term, and Suzuki has been great to work with over the off-season creating this program, offering us a great platform through two of their largest dealerships to go racing this season.”
