Just In: Like everyone thought he would, Ken Roczen is going back to Progressive Insurance Ecstar Suzuki for 2025.

Los Angeles, California — H.E.P. Motorsports and Suzuki Motor USA, LLC are excited to say that Ken Roczen will be back in 2025 to race in the SuperMotocross World Championship on the Suzuki RM-Z450. Although Roczen has had good success with the team over the last few years, he will now be competing at the highest level again.

For Roczen, continuing his friendship with Suzuki and the team was very exciting. “We’ve had a pretty good couple of years, and we’re excited to keep going after our wins and podiums.”

He won in Glendale, Arizona, and finished on the podium in six of the 14 Supercross races Roczen competed in.

Christopher Wheeler, Motorsports Manager at Suzuki Motor USA, said, “We’re very proud that Ken Roczen has chosen Suzuki and H.E.P. Motorsports again for his championship quest.” As we all work together to be successful, Ken’s skills, commitment, and presence continue to inspire and motivate everyone in the program. We love the challenge of SMX, and Ken’s RM-Z450 is off to a great start.

Kenneth’s third year racing on the Suzuki RM-Z450 with the Progressive Insurance Ecstar Suzuki Team will be in 2025. He wants to race well and seriously fight for wins now that he has more time on the bike and is more familiar with the team.

“We are thrilled to have Ken back on the team for another year.” “He is the ultimate professional on and off the racecourse,” said Dustin Pipes, Team Principal at H.E.P. Motorsports. Kenneth is a very talented person who can win any race he enters. Keeping him on the very capable RM-Z450 makes every race day exciting for the team. We’ll work hard to get to the top of the list again.

Fans at SX stadium still really like Ken. Watching him win the bike race made everyone go crazy.

Progressive Recreational Lines Business Leader Eric Doubler said, “As the team’s title sponsor for the past two seasons, it’s been great to see Ken not only compete but also represent the sport well.” We are excited to see what Ken does this season as the country’s top motorbike insurer.

Toys for both Roczen and Suzuki fans are looking forward to the first gate drop on January 11 in Anaheim, where the season starts.
