CHRIS POWERS-UP FOR ROMANIACS

Chris Power is heading to Red Bull Romaniacs to compete on CFMOTO’ s 450MT in the Adventure Core class. Chris has a long list of international and national success racing enduro, as well as a busy world with coaching and motorcycle kid’ s camps. Power will take all of that experience and add to his successful title at the CFMOTO MT Challenge as he takes the super-successful MT450 two-cylinder machine to the iconic hard enduro event. Navigating the technical and physically demanding event on an adventure bike is no mean feat but Chris is a substantial unit, as well as a super-talented rider, so the extra weight of the adventure class machinery won’ t slow the big guy down much at all – handy when the going gets tough. The four-time NZ champion has three ISDE

Gold medals, NZ GNCC title, Woodville River Race win, a cabinet full of trophies from the likes of Roof Of Africa, Australian 24-hr Enduros, and a bunch more but this is a new challenge in a new class. It will be a who’ s who of hard enduro in the class as the growing segment has really taken off over the last couple of years. Go well CP!
