Leading the charge in the MX1 category will be Ryley Fitzpatrick aboard the race-proven KTM 450 SX-F. Fitzpatrick joins the KTM program for 2027 after returning to New Zealand from Australia. Following an impressive debut New Zealand championship campaign last season, where he secured fourth overall, Fitzpatrick will be a rider to watch as he targets podium finishes and championship contention.

The talented international has shown strong pace and continues to build momentum heading into the national championship.
