Suzuki announces new RaceSuzuki.com site, powered by Hookit, to aid its motocross and off-road customers.
Following its recent announcement of the new 2016 RM-Z250, Suzuki has extensively revised its amateur race support program to offer more support to Suzuki-riding motocross and off-road racers than ever.
Suzuki says that its increased factory support is designed to help build future champions and reward racers for their efforts along the way. Part of that new support includes an all-new website, RaceSuzuki.com, which makes it even easier for racers across the country to tap into the millions of dollars of contingency support available.
Powered by Hookit, a digital platform of tools and services designed to support athletes, brands and sports, RaceSuzuki.com brings a number of benefits to amateur racers. The website provides a hub for amateur racers to manage, promote and monetize their ongoing efforts. The site offers athlete profiles, with automated race results and earnings updates. Racers can track upcoming racing opportunities, and share accomplishments and photos with the Team Suzuki community through their PC or mobile device. The site also allows racers to take advantage of Suzuki’s contingency program, offering nearly $4 million in support delivered through numerous U.S. motocross races, series and events. The site is also designed to bring amateur racers and Suzuki’s network of regional dealers together more efficiently, helping racers to redeem contingency program rewards.
“We are excited to be working with Suzuki to power their contingency program and support racers across the country.” said Scott Tilton, CEO of Hookit. “Streamlining the process benefits the Suzuki racers, promoters and dealers and we are honored to be the platform helps bring it all together.”
As part of the company’s overall factory support, the Suzuki Trackside Support Truck will visit some of the top motocross racing events of the 2015 season. The Support Truck carries a supply of parts available for riders in need at a discounted price, along with a qualified Suzuki technician to help answer rider’s questions. Trackside Support is currently scheduled to attend the major events listed below, and others will be added throughout the season.

Over the last three years, a number of Suzuki amateur racers have earned trips to the revered Suzuki Camp Carmichael training event. This opportunity–for Suzuki racers only–provides amateur racers the chance to train with 15-time MX/SX Champion Ricky Carmichael at The Carmichael Farm, RC’s private training facility in Cairo, Georgia.
By registering for the 2015 MX Contingency Program and racing a Suzuki RM or RM-Z, Suzuki racers earn points throughout the year for the opportunity to attend the two-day camp. During the event, Carmichael helps riders improve their riding and racing skills, and covers topics such as fitness, training, and bike setup.
