The factory Honda Racing team has announced a partnership with HGS Exhaust Systems in their bid for success in 2022, with Wonthaggi’s ProMX season-opener drawing closer.

An all-new partnership will see the likes of graduating MX2 champion Kyle Webster, the returning Dean Ferris and multiple MX2 champion Wilson Todd powered by the HGS brand for the upcoming season.

“We tested their range of exhaust systems before making the decision – we don’t comprise performance ,” Honda Racing team owner Yarrive Konsky explained. “We had our engine builder in America testing with HGS and we also tested in Australia… It was unanimous, their products perform.”

Webster, who had the opportunity to test the HGS exhaust on the new CRF250R and current CRF450R shared: “It’s always very cool to be involved in testing new product. I started testing the product on the all-new CRF250R. HGS did their homework, the overall power was improved and it improved top-end and low-end power.

“On the 450 it was surprisingly good. The standard 450 is fast – you don’t need a lot more power – but the HGS compliments the motor. The connection is great, there is a little more everywhere and it revs out longer, but it’s smooth. I was pumped with the holeshots we achieved on my way to our maiden win at the AMX MX Open last year.”
