Hunter Lawrence delivered another masterclass in championship composure at the Denver Supercross. He raced his Honda HRC Progressive CRF450R Works Edition to a commanding victory at Empower Field at Mile High. After seizing the lead on Lap 2, the Australian rider found clean air and never looked back, ultimately gapping the field to cross the finish line with a dominant 12-second margin.
"We were kind of fiddling, massaging some things, and we got them sorted for the main. I love having to work for it a little bit during the day. I feel like that’s when I have my best days," he said after the race.
The crucial victory, his fifth of the season, slashes his championship deficit to one point behind rival Ken Roczen, setting the stage for a high-stakes, winner-take-all showdown at the Salt Lake City season finale.
"Everyone knows what I needed to do—win the last two rounds—and we checked the first box," said Lawrence. "Now we need to go to Salt Lake City and try to do the same thing."
We're thrilled to share that Moto-1 recently got its hands on our R9 racing exhaust to see exactly what it brings to the racetrack. In a detailed, step-by-step hands-on How to Install a Yoshimura AT2 Race Exhaust on the Yamaha YZF-R9 feature, the publication walked readers through the installation of our AT2 Race Exhaust (closed-course) on Yamaha's fresh YZF-R9. The video breaks down everything from the seamless install process to some of the performance gains of the full system.
Yoshimura R&D has spent decades perfecting the art of high-performance exhaust systems, but our latest breakthrough focuses on a different kind of "pipe" altogether. The new Yoshimura Ringer Performance Sock is engineered with a high-tech blend of 80% acrylic, 12% nylon, and 5% spandex, proving that the R&D team is just as committed to moisture-wicking comfort as they are to horsepower. While these crew socks won’t technically improve your bike's exhaust note or mass centralization, they do offer an "unrivaled fit" that ensures your feet stay as cool as your muffler. It’s the ultimate performance upgrade for the rider who knows that true speed starts from the ground up—or at least from inside their boots.
Whether you're looking to shed that windsail of a stock rear fender or just want your bike to look cleaner, Yoshimura R&D's new V2 Fender Eliminator Kit has officially arrived to save the day (and your style). These plug-and-play kits are designed to transform everything from mini-motos to adventure bikes, turning "functional but frumpy" into something much more palatable. To truly elevate your machine, you can also snag custom titanium bolts and sequential turn signals—because let's be honest, your rear end could always use some more love.
Hot off the press: we’ve got footage that’s essentially a mechanical siren song for your soul, or at least your ears. Our street-legal AT2 slip-on exhaust for the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP isn’t just "shredding the canyon"; it’s providing a high-octane soundtrack that makes standard idling sound like a librarian's whisper. Between the carbon fiber aesthetics and the guttural roar that follows Hunter Lawrence through every twist and turn, your Hornet will finally have the voice it should have had from the factory.
