We are excited to announce the XC Gear/ Enduro Engineering/ Husqvarna Race team for the 2021 season. Ryder Lafferty is back with the team to head the charge in the GNCC series in the XC2 Pro Class. After some podium finishes in the 2020 season, Ryder is looking to be a title contender in the XC2 Pro Class for the 2021 season. He will be riding a XC Gear/ Enduro Engineering backed Husqvarna FC250.
Along with the GNCC series, Ryder Lafferty is returning to the NE Pro1 Class of the National Enduro Series aboard a Husqvarna FX350. Ryder was able to grab his first ever National Enduro overall victory in 2020, along with a couple other podium finishes. In 2021, Ryder is looking to build off 2020 and be a contender for a win at each round and to fight for the National Enduro Championship.
A new addition to the XC Gear/ Enduro Engineering/ Husqvarna Team for 2021 is Chase Bright. Chase is a young up and coming rider native to Colorado. He will be racing his first full time year in the National Enduro Series in the AA class. He will also be racing select local events, including the RMEC series. Chase will be riding a Husqvarna TE250i.
First up for the XC Gear/ Enduro Engineering/ Husqvarna Race Team will be Round 1 of the National Enduro Series, Sumter National Enduro. Sumter has one of the biggest attendance of any enduro series in the world with some of the best competition. We will see how Ryder and Chase stack up to kick off the season.
