AS3 Performance Weekly Round Up #18
Jonny Walker Races AMA EnduroCross Back To Back
2023 AMA EnduroCross Championship, Rounds 3 & 4, Idaho Falls, Idaho, 27th & 28th October
Jonny Walker's phenomenal winning streak unfortunately came to an end at Round 3 in Idaho. Our supported Beta rider still managed 2nd overall, however, in the first of the doubleheader rounds on the Friday. He followed this up on the Saturday with a 4th overall, just missing out on a podium for the first time in 4 rounds.

Round 3, Friday 27th Oct
After two poor rounds by his standards (coming 5th overall at Round 1 & 2), it was FMF KTM Factory Racing rider; Trystan Hart, who was top of the box at Round 3. The Canadian showed the form we were used to seeing in 2022, to earn his first victory of the 2023 campaign. Over the 3 races, he took a fairly dominant 1,2,1. Walker went 2, 4, 3 on his Beta 300 RR, with FactoryOne Sherco's Cody Webb going 5, 3, 2, for 3rd overall.

Round 4, Saturday 28th Oct
Trystan Hart continued his fine form from the previous evening and took the overall Win again. Over 3 races, the KTM rider went 1,2,2, with Sherco's Cody Webb grabbing 2nd overall with a 2, 3, 1, going one position better than the previous night. Husqvarna's Colton Haaker took the last spot on the podium with a 4,1,4. Walker, with a 6, 4, 3, grabbed 4th overall and 18 points added to his Championship lead.

Even though the last round's result was below Jonny Walker's high standards, he still took away a decent haul of points. With two rounds to go, Jonny has 103 points, leading the EnduroCross series by 11 points over Trystan Hart and Cody Webb, who are both on 92 points. Well done to Jonny and we wish him the best of luck for Round 5; on 11th November in Redmond, Oregon.

The bike has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. As you can see from the photo above, the engine casings have been fully refurbished and the frame, swing arm, kick start lever, cylinder head and water pump cover have all been painted black to match the black colour scheme, with a small selection of green parts added to the KX 125. The subtle green features on the bike include our billet aluminium front and rear brake reservoir covers, green anodised rear axle blocks and a fuel cap breather hose with a green anodised vent.
