Empire Kawasaki aims to build a strong following for their chosen partners and continue to develop their riders and racing programmes.
From Empire Kawasaki – Partnering with Bridgestone for the 2023 season couldn’t have come a better time. Both our MX2 star’s Haruki Yokoyama and Cody Cooper are very familiar with Bridgestone’s Battlecross range and are beyond happy to be using Bridgestone this season. We see nothing but good things with Bridgestone; their Battlecross range is extensive with a tyre for every discipline/condition.
From McLeod Accessories – We are ecstatic to be supplying the world-class Bridgestone Battlecross range to Empire Kawasaki. From their athletes to the team on the ground and behind the scenes, they’re dedicated to driving home a win every time they hit the track. We look forward to seeing them continue their rise through the ranks on the world’s most capable MX tyres.
